Neuroscientist: "This Simple Skill Will Keep You Motivated" | Andrew Huberman

Overwhelmingly large goals can be discouraging. By breaking them down into smaller, manageable steps, you can create a sense of progress and accomplishment.

Example: If your goal is to write a novel, break it down into chapters, then scenes, and finally paragraphs. Celebrate completing each chapter.

Recognizing and rewarding your progress, no matter how small, reinforces positive behavior and keeps motivation high.

Example: If you're trying to eat healthier, celebrate choosing a salad over fries or going for a short walk.

Mindfulness helps you focus on the present moment, reducing distractions and increasing your ability to enjoy the task at hand.

Example: While working on a project, try to avoid multitasking or checking your phone. Instead, focus on the task at hand and be fully present in the moment.

By shifting our focus from the end result to the process, we can harness the power of dopamine to create lasting motivation and achieve our goals.
