Summary

We are HERE!!! with another Neuroscience episode.


I tried to pack it all into one, but alas, I have to split it into two eps. Part one is all about how to make a habit.

I talk about what brain areas and what neurochemicals are involved in creating and strengthening a habit.

How to harness the times of day, locations and neurotransmitters to give yourself the best chance of succeeding

How to structure your routine / habits so it is easier to adhere to

And lots more.


Let me know in the comments if you would like me to cover any other neuroscience topic and I will endeavour to DO IT.

Dankeeeeeee and until next time.
