Why You Keep Falling Into the Same Patterns
from 🫶🏼 Life And Bullshyt 🫶🏼 Hosted by Janine Schwartz
What if the thoughts you keep having aren’t just random — but pathways your brain has practiced so many times that they’ve become the easiest route to take? In this episode, I’m breaking down neural pathways and neuroplasticity through one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard: waterslides in the brain. The more we repeat a thought, fear, reaction, or behavior, the easier it can become for our brain to travel that same path again. But here’s the hopeful part: our brains can learn new routes too. We’ll talk about why familiar thought patterns can feel so automatic, how our brains shape the way we experience the world, and how small moments of awareness can begin creating new pathways. No neuroscience degree required — just another curious human trying to understand why our brains do the weird things they do.
