I\u2019ve heard a few variations on this statistic, but suffice it to say that the vast majority of what we know about the brain we\u2019ve learned in the last decade or so. Much of what scientists thought they knew about the brain before this uptick in inquiry and research has since been proven inaccurate or altogether wrong.<\/p>\n<p>We now have much greater insight on things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which functions the different areas of the brain are responsible for and how each area interacts with the others.<\/li>\n<li>How emotions and cognitive processes work in conjunction with and are affected by each other.<\/li>\n<li>How the brain changes in responses to our thoughts and experiences.<\/li>\n<li>How mindfulness and other forms of mental training can help us \u201crewire our brain\u201d in ways that positively impact our well-being, daily life experience, and quality of life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a health promotion professional in the business of behavior change and well-being, having interest and basic knowledge about brain science has come in handy. I now understand that virtually all forms of successful long-term behavior change have a common thread at their core: neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to the process whereby the brain literally reorganizes itself in response to our environment, thoughts, feelings, and experiences: frequently used synapses are strengthened, while less frequently used ones are weakened. This restructuring is happening all the time \u2013 either unwittingly or, in the case of purposeful behavior change, intentionally.<\/p>\n<p>What does this all have to do with balanced eating, resilience, and peak performance?<\/p>\n<h4>The Miracle of Neuroplasticity<\/h4>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing. When we have successfully and lastingly changed some component of our well-being, we have effectively changed our brain through the miracle of neuroplasticity. This applies to pretty much any habit or set of behaviors, whether it\u2019s transforming the way we eat, developing more resilience, or performing more robustly at work (hence the title). But those examples are just arbitrary &#8211; I could have used any set of well-being outcomes in the title. And that\u2019s the point. Changing behaviors and habits of <em>any sort<\/em> is first and foremost about changing our brains.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve come to believe that anyone who wishes to be highly effective at changing themselves or guiding others through the change process will have a higher likelihood of doing so with at least a fundamental understanding of brain science. I would posit that one of the reasons the conventional approach to health and well-being has often had less than ideal results is because it doesn\u2019t involve enough of the new scientific understanding of the brain, mental training, and behavior change. This is understandable given the relative newness of this work, but it\u2019s time to collectively turn the page and bring this new knowledge into everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a place to start or enhance your learning, here\u2019s one of my favorite options: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefoundationsofwellbeing.com\/science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.thefoundationsofwellbeing.com\/science<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Mindfulness: Training for the Brain<\/h4>\n<p>Mindfulness has been the focal point for an immense amount of research in recent years, too much to summarize well here. The Cliff Notes version is that it appears to be a very promising way to positively affect myriad components of well-being, everything from lowering levels of cortisol (the \u201cstress hormone\u201d) and blood pressure to reducing emotional and being eating to increasing resilience and generosity. While there are many scholars studying the effects of mindfulness on the brain and well-being, I have been particularly drawn to <a href=\"http:\/\/centerhealthyminds.org\/\">Richie Davidson\u2019s<\/a> work.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of ways to define mindfulness, but we often describe it with four key points:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Developing in-the-moment awareness of your inner experience and environment<\/li>\n<li>Observing what you become aware of with minimal judgment and attachment<\/li>\n<li>Making space between what you observe and your potential reaction<\/li>\n<li>Intentionally <em>choosing<\/em> whether and how to respond<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While mindfulness often conjures up images of seated, closed-eye meditation, it\u2019s important to know that mindfulness training does not have to include a regular meditation practice in order to be beneficial. Although mindfulness meditation can be incredibly beneficial at laying the foundations for accessing more calm, clarity, and focus (and I highly recommend it), there are also ways to apply mindfulness to re-train the brain right in the middle of the action of your daily life. It\u2019s mindful to simply pause in the moment to bring awareness to your experience. It\u2019s mindful to take a few breaths to make space between what you noticed and a potential automatic reaction. It\u2019s mindful to decide purposefully what you\u2019ll do (or not do) next.<\/p>\n<p>Each time you become aware, pause, and intentionally decide to make a choice that is in your best interest when you might previously have not, you have weakened an old synapse and strengthened a new one.&nbsp; You have used mindfulness to further the rewiring process.<\/p>\n<h4>Rewiring in Action<\/h4>\n<p>Let me give you an example of how we use our new knowledge of mindfulness training and the brain in a common challenge to one&#8217;s well-being: overeating.<\/p>\n<p>The conventional approach to \u201chealthy eating\u201d in the health promotion industry has been to teach individuals a set of guidelines about when, what, and how much to eat and, possibly, suggest they identify specific behaviors that will help them follow these guidelines. (For example, log your food intake daily, remove \u201cbad\u201d foods from the house, weigh yourself regularly for accountability, etc.) One of the many reasons this approach often fails to sustainably help people who struggle with overeating is because it completely misses the complexities of eating that are driven by thinking patterns, emotions, and habitual decisions, all of which are the result of processes happening within the brain and the body.<\/p>\n<p>Compare that to <a href=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/\">our approach to mindful eating<\/a>, in which we get to the root causes of overeating instead of focusing solely on behaviors. Through practical, mindfulness-based strategies, we help participants develop greater awareness of unexamined or unresolved triggers, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that may lead them to eat when they\u2019re not hungry or overeat once they start. When they develop awareness of these triggers, they then learn to observe the triggers with less judgment and attachment than they previously would have; they create <em>space<\/em> between those triggers and a potential mindless, habitual reaction to eat or overeat. This space provides an opportunity to envision other options and intentionally <em>choose<\/em> whether to eat (or continue eating) or do something that might more effectively meet their true needs. With practice, this process results in a changes in neural synapses: old, automatic overeating patterns incrementally diminish as new, more effective, \u201cjust right\u201d eating patterns strengthen.<\/p>\n<p>I could give you more examples related to other components of well-being, but you can probably see how this process could be applied to virtually any personal or professional behavior or habit we want to change. The important components of mindfulness\u2014awareness, non-judgment, pausing, and intentional decision-making\u2014are <a href=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/the-mindfulness-effect-parenting-eating-and-life\/\">universally valuable<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through the miracle of neuroplasticity, we can effectively change our brains in important areas like mindful eating, resilient living, and peak performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":24026,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"pmpro_default_level":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38,41],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mindful Eating, Resilient Living, and Peak Performance: What\u2019s the Common Thread?
