Getting Comfortable is No Good Option



I sat in the auto and put my lunch bag to my right and my laptop bag to my left. And the very next minute felt a bit uncomfortable as I reached out with my left hand to open the chain of my laptop bag to fetch my ear pods. Why? To my left hand this action felt alien as usually my bags are kept the other way round and my right hand goes into the laptop bag zipper to reach the ear pods.
Sounds simple.. try it yourself and see how this small change makes you feel conscious and pull your attention to a task which you did almost monotonous. 

I was attending a training recently where we spoke on patterns of behaviour, exiting comfort zones and rewiring our minds. Is this also rewiring? I wonder!

While I brush with my dominant hand, i tried using my left hand one day and I was again feeling that I'm paying extra attention to that action and actually building a different neural pathway for the same activity.

NLP states that every individual can learn any skill if he wants to and that too at any age. And I have a task at hand now. My daughter, whom I am teaching to hold a pencil and draw, write, colour, is a left hander. My dominant being right, i already shuddered thinking if I could hold a writing tool properly in my left hand and if I did that too, i thought il barely able to get a straight line on paper. But to my surprise, my will to teach my daughter and my determination to do it right i can now even hold the pencil and get some readable text on paper with the left hand, and that too while I'm holding on to her tiny left hand in mine to see if the strokes are fine.

Is this rewiring in some way? If yes, then i have done a bit of it. In what ways do you rewire? What are the other activities that you think you must rewire? Thoughts?

Should we rewire our thoughts too..

I read about positive thinking and that everything..all circumstances depend on our quality of thoughts.
