Are you stuck
on autopilot?
We’ve all done it. Arrived at a familiar place with no recollection of how we got there. Found an empty packet of biscuits without remembering eating them all. Why does that happen? Because you’re operating on autopilot. Stuck in a chain of habits. Brilliantly efficient for your lazy brain. But potentially harmful for you. It’s only by breaking free from these habits that you can make the changes you really want. And once you’ve turned off the autopilot in one part of your life, you’ll become so much more aware of it. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying a richer, more fulfilling world.
Don't think. Do.
Neuroscience research into mirror neurons has shown that thinking about things, or carrying out routine tasks typically light up the same areas of the brain. Doing something new creates a new neural pathway. That’s what Do Something Different is all about. At the core of everything we do is one simple idea: Don’t think about it. Or learn about it. Or analyse it. Or talk about it. Do it. Then learn from the experience. And energise your lazy brain at the same time.
Do Something Different:
- Learns about who you are
- Sends you psychologically powerful Do’s
- Encourages you to learn from the experience
- Invites you to share what you do with others
- Shows you what’s changed at the end
90%
Most of us only use 1/10 of our personality. 90% is waiting to be unlocked.
22%
On average, people only use 22% of their potential behaviours.
2%
The brain is 2% of our body weight but uses 20% of our energy resources. No wonder we are drawn to habits to conserve brain power.
Sounds simple.
