Ever feel like your brain’s “check engine” light is stuck on, even when you know everything is fine? 🛠️🧠

In the world of neuro-counselling, we call this the OCD "Brain Glitch." It isn't a personality quirk or a sign of weakness: it’s a hardware issue in the brain's circuitry.

Think of it like a faulty relay in your car’s wiring. Normally, your brain detects a "problem" (the obsession), triggers an "action" to fix it (the compulsion), and then sends a "clear" signal to shut the alarm off.

But with OCD, that "clear" signal never arrives. The circuit stays open. The alarm keeps blaring. The engine keeps revving. 🚦

As Brain Mechanics, we don’t just look at the symptoms; we look at the circuitry. By understanding that your brain is simply stuck in a feedback loop, we can start using neuro-affirming tools to help "re-tune" the system and dampen those false alarms.

You aren't broken: your brain is just running a glitchy script. Ready to get under the bonnet and see how we can help? 🔧

If your New Year goal is already wobbling… you’re not broken. You’re human.

Stats say around 88% of resolutions fail by mid-Jan because willpower is a limited “fuel source”. When life gets busy or stress spikes, your brain defaults to the easiest, most familiar pathway (hello, habit loops in the basal ganglia).

Neuroscience fix: stop relying on motivation. Build repetition.

Try this:
1) Shrink it: make the habit so small you can’t say no (2 minutes counts).
2) Stack it: attach it to something you already do (coffee → 10 squats / 3 deep breaths).
3) Design your environment: make the good choice the easy choice (shoes by the door, snacks out of sight, notifications off).
4) Track reps, not perfection: you’re wiring neurons through consistency.

Myth vs. Medicine: three brain-health myths, debunked by neuroscience coach Steve Halls. 1) Myth: “Brain games fix dementia.” Evidence: short-term task gains don’t transfer widely. Alternative: combine cognitive training with physical exercise and social engagement. 2) Myth: “You only use 10% of your brain.” Evidence: neuroimaging shows widespread activity. Alternative: build habits—sleep, balanced diet, and varied mental challenges—for real gains. 3) Myth: “Supplements are a quick fix.” Evidence: most lack robust trials and can interact with meds. Alternative: discuss evidence-based options with a clinician and prioritise lifestyle changes. For Perth WA residents seeking evidence-led guidance, Brain-Mechanic provides clinical insights you can trust. Learn more: https://wix.to/OkOOA5r 🧠🔬

Perth life impacts your brain — here’s how to ease the strain. ☀️🧠 Short commutes and long daylight in summer? Use morning light exposure to anchor your circadian rhythm. Swap late-night screen time for an evening walk along the river to lower stress. Choose local protein-rich foods like WA seafood and native greens to support cognition, and join community fitness groups to boost social connection and brain resilience.
