Temptation ~ Gratification ~ Regret ~ Repeat In this episode, I’m going to show you how the neural pathways that you’ve created over the years are the reason you keep repeating bad behaviors.

It has to do with neural pathways that get created as we do things. When we do something right, a pathway is created. Unfortunately, a pathway is also created when we something wrong. So the reason we keep making the same mistakes is that we slip by default back into existing neural pathways.

Gratification: pleasure, especially when gained from the satisfaction of a desire Regret: feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that has happened or been done, especially a loss or missed opportunity).
