I achieved everything I wanted by cheating my brain. Cars, houses, money, publishing books, becoming a blogger...
How did I go from a negative, complaining, and accomplishing nothing to an independent, self-disciplined and powerful entrepreneur now?
The biggest change for me is to learn to "brainwash" myself.
British psychologist marisa peer said: The brain will analyze what you think based on your words and always do what he thinks is the most beneficial to you.
If you say running is too painful, this PPT is too difficult to write. This job is too bad. I can't stand it. I am under great pressure. You are telling your brain that you don't want to do it, and the brain is born to pursue happiness and avoid pain. What will happen? It will encourage you to procrastinate, escape, and not to commit.
But if you say, I choose to do this, I choose to be happy about it, and the brain will drive you to do it.
At any time, your feelings about everything are based on two points: The picture formed in your brain and what you say to yourself.
To make changes, you must change the words and change the picture in your brain. Whether it is weight loss, daily media updates or writing books, I have used this method to achieve what I want.
When I was writing "Five Hours of Learning the Little Red Book", I was severely delayed. Every morning I woke up and told myself that I wanted to write, and the process of writing would be very happy. I imagined the picture after I finished writing. This book was very popular, and many people benefited from it and sent a lot of praise. In this way, I successfully finished the book in 3 months, and it was indeed a very popular seller.
If you haven't succeeded yet, review your words you have always used. Do you often say that this is impossible? It's too difficult and I can't do it! Whether you say good or bad, right or wrong, the brain will only respond accordingly based on your words. Whatever you instill in your brain, it will believe it, and it is better to say something good.
In addition, how you do your brain will make it think. If you make a smile at the computer, your brain will think you are happy when you work. If you wake up in the morning and still stay in bed, your brain will think you are sleepy, but if you get up and get out of bed immediately, you will find that you are not that sleepy. This is the "behavior consistency" in psychology.
Our thoughts and behaviors affect each other. The more you are afraid of difficulties in your mind, the more procrastinate your behavior. The more procrastinate your behavior, the more anxious your thoughts are, and it is easy to fall into a dead cycle. Before the things were done, people were already exhausted. If you want to cheer up and do something, you can do some stretching and opening movements first to make your brain feel that you are particularly powerful and high-energy.
On the contrary, if you hold your chest and hunch your back and curl up, your brain will feel that you are very nervous and stressed. This is because Our body movements affect our emotional evaluation system, which in turn affects our attitudes and thoughts.
Your destiny is hidden in your words and deeds. What you say is the life you live. Change starts with cheating on the brain.
