The skill which keeps you motivated

So you can tell yourself the trouble part is the good part I know it's painfull know this does not feel good but I'm concentrated on this I am going to start to access the price when we concentrate only on the jewel only on the grade only on the palm you undermine that entire process the capability to pierce this pleasure from trouble is without question the most important aspect of dopamine and the beautiful thing is it's accessible to all of us hard work is hard generally most people do not like working hard some people do but utmost people work hard in order to achieve some end .

Thing end pretensions are atrocious and prices are atrocious whether or not they're financial social or any kind still working hard at commodity for sake of a price that comes subsequently can make the hard work much more grueling and make us much less likely to lean into hard work in the future there is a classic trial done actually at Stanford numerous times ago in which children in Nursery School and kindergarten Drew filmland and they drew filmland because they like to draw the experimenters took kiddies that liked to draw and they started giving them a price for drawing.

The price generally was a gold star or commodity that a youthful child would find satisfying also they stopped giving them the gold star and what they set up is the children had a much lower tendency to draw on their own no price now flash back this was an exertion that previous to entering a price the children naturally enjoyed and named to do no bone was telling them to draw what this relates to is so- called natural versus foreign underpinning when we admit prices indeed if we give ourselves rewards for commodity we tend to associate lower pleasure with the factual exertion itself that elicited the price if you get a peak in dopamine from a price it's going to lower your birth and the cognitive interpretation is that you did not really do the exertion because you enjoyed the exertion you did it for the rewardnow.

This is the antipode of growth mindset my coworker at Stanford Carol direct as numerous of you know has come up with this inconceivable proposition and principle and actually goes beyond proposition in principle called growth mindset which is this seeking to be better to be in this mindset of I am not there yet but seeking itself is the end thing and that of course delivers you to tremendous performances been observed over and over and over again that people that have growth mindset end up performing veritably well because they are concentrated on the trouble itself and all of us can cultivate growth mindset the neural medium of cultivating growth mindset involves literacy to pierce the prices from trouble and doing and that is hard to do because you have to tell your tone okay this trouble is great this trouble is pleasureful indeed though you might actually be in a state of physical pain from the exercise or I can recall this myself to study forcing myself administering from council just feeling like I wanted to get up from my office but forcing myself what you find over time is that you can elicit dopamine release from the disunion and the challenge that you be to be in you fully exclude.

The capability to induce those circuits and the satisfying process of being suitable to price disunion while in trouble if you are concentrated only on the thing that comes at the end so if you say oh I am going to do this veritably hard thing and I am going to drive and push and push and push for that end thing that comes latterly not only do you enjoy the process of what you are doing less you actually make it more painful while you are engaging in it you make yourself less effective at it because if you were suitable to pierce dopamine while in trouble dopamine has all these inconceivable parcels of adding the quantum of energy in our body and in our mind our capability to focus but also you're undermining your capability to lean back into that exertion the coming time the coming time you need doubly as important coffee and three times as much loud music and four times as important energy drink and the social connection just to get out the door in order to do the run or to study so what is more salutary is to attach the feeling of disunion and trouble to an internally generated price system you are not just pursuing the effects that are constitutionally pleasureful so you can tell yourself the trouble part is the good part I know it's painful I know this does not feel to start to pierce the price you'll find the prices meaning the dopamine good but I am concentrated on this I am going release inside of trouble if you repeat come reflexive for all types of trouble when we concentrate only on the jewel only on the grade only on the palm as the price you undermine that entire process this over and over again and what is beautiful about it's that it starts to so how do you do this you do this in those moments of the most violent disunion you tell yourself this is veritably painful and because it's painful it'll elicit an increase in dopamine release latterly meaning it'll increase my birth in dopamine but you also have to tell yourself that in that moment you're doing it by choice and you are doing it because you love it and I know that sounds like lying to yourself and in some ways it's lying to yourself but it's lying to yourself in the environment of a verity .
