How you can use your three brains for effective new year’s resolutions


New year’s resolutions – another reliable disappointment or an opportunity to do something special?


By Bill Lee-Emery I


t came with the Christmas lights, bon-bons and mince pies: making up my new year’s resolutions!


I loved doing this as a young boy, and


I continued to find it thrilling even as a teenager. There was something magical and innocent about it. It was exciting, hinted of positive change, adventure and hope of a better new year. Somehow, that all changed with


time. My resolutions became ‘reliable disappointments’. Dreams and aspirations were replaced by a sense of personal failure as I weighed up what I planned, and what I actually achieved. In a nutshell, I didn’t take all the actions that were needed; I lost my oomph and sparkle. And, when my resolutions became ‘shoulds’, I knew that was the final nail in the coffin.

It’s a warm sentiment, but yearnings of the heart alone just don’t cut it in the world. It’s a great start, but ultimately that’s all it is. Let’s break this down a little.

• The Cephalic Brain – in your head, and concerned with cognitive perception, thinking and making meaning.


• The Cardiac Brain – in your heart, and connected to emoting, relationships and your deepest core values.


• The Enteric Brain – in your gut, and is charged with self-preservation, your core sense of identity, and the capacity to act. Each brain has a distinct role to play


and just as in a company or organisation where people have different roles to perform; each brain has its own specialised tasks. The heart brain is connected to our


core values at a deep level, but heart brain resolutions can be fickle. Think of high school days and falling madly in love one day, only to totally forget the love interest when someone else comes along! Head brain resolutions can also be fickle. With no deep foundation of
