Neural pathways are like highways in the brain. They provide information flow and response by creating routes throughout the nervous system. The routes that we use more frequently, to sustain habits or perform repeated tasks, feel more comfortable because the signals travel along well-established pathways.

About a year ago, I mixed things up around her. In a big way. Well, sort of. I mean it felt like a big way. I moved my computer mouse from the right side of my desk, where it could be easily reached by my dominant right hand, to the left side of my desk. [...]
I have got to get off Facebook. Seriously. I’ve got a long, to do list and plenty of other things I want to do: exercise, draft a post, market my book – that will actually move me closer to my goals and passions, but I have got to get off Facebook to do it. So, [...]
