How to ACHIEVE ANYTHING | Neuroscience tricks 

A summary I wrote of the video - What are Dreams? Stories in which we anticipate the future. Why do we like to dream? Because our Limbic system (emotional part of the brain). It's priorities is to feel good in the moment and avoid discomfort. So when we dream, we get a feel good or dopamine kick. Hence it keep chasing the feeling by dreaming more and more, as if it's a drug. Pre-frontal Cortex (PFC) is more logical, it wants to plan the future, calculate the probability. Problem : PFC cannot do it's job when the Limbic is on it's dreaming vacations. Solution : Wait until the Limbic calms down, then think. We call it "Getting back to Reality". How do dreams come true? Thoughts (mere electric signals in the brain) are converted into Reality, only by Physical Action(s) of some sort. Both Limbic & PFC can take actions. But the difference in there "working styles" are - - Limbic actions are very short term. In fact, they are actually "Reaction" to some triggers. - PFC actions are more planned, sustainable in the long-term (as to make a dream come true, the actions needs to be executed sustainably with planning). - It could see the future beyond the present moment's feel good & bad. So for making a dream come true, you need to give power to the PFC. 3 steps to give power of the PFC : 1. Write describing your dreams - "More the words you use to describe an emotion, the more the PFC understands it." - Write about why do you want to achieve that dream, what will you feel after achieving it, what motivates you right now, etc. 2. Convert the dream into a Goal - Dreams are vague ideas placed somewhere in the future, whereas Goals are tangible targets which can be described clearly and also can be measured in the short term (like in weeks to months). 3. Take each Goal & break it down into Objectives - This is the Key for making the dreams come true. An acronym that can help you design objectives well enough is - SMART. S : Specific. Ex - How often are you going to go to the gym, when and for how long will you exercise, etc. M : Measurable. A : Achievable. Compare the objective's achievability with your previous patterns. R : Relevant. Are the objectives in alignment with the bigger picture (i.e. your dream) ? T : Time Bound. Note : Learn to keep setting the difficulty level of your objectives. Keep the track of your objective's success and failure ratio. Then keep increasing or decreasing the difficulty level accordingly. (25% Failure rate is healthy for sustaining motivation) Main challenge due to which many people fail to achieve their dreams - Dreams come from Limbic system, which wants to feel good all the time. As if it has achieved something really great, validated, etc. even if it's just an imagination. Actions that we need to take do not generally give us that much feel good in the short term. Hence, we must learn to reward ourselves to prevent the Limbic from losing it's patience and over-ruling the PFC and making it forget about this dream and instead dream about something else (because that'll be new, exciting & the reward via dreaming will be immediate). Final Advice : Do not tell much people about your dreams. This is one of the tricks that limbic system pulls to get some feel good (quick & cheap validation) You may share it after completing a few objectives so that sharing about it doesn't become counter-productive anymore.

1.take a dream and write about it 2.convert your dream into goal 3.take each goal and break into objective Thanks doc really a great video

Your podcast with dr. Pal is mind-blowing.

Gajab sir gajab…..mja a gya

Love how you breakdown the physiology in every video! Great explanation skills

Thank you Sid, been struggling a lot. But now I know why and how to manage!

Hi Dr Sid, even if you don't get such comments like mine, but still we *viewers* appreciate your efforts and videos every time, so please continue making these helpful videos. ❤ thank you

Thank you dr. You’re like a breath of fresh air. I love listening to your videos

I can relate so much to this, my dream of learning to swim happened when I shifted the gear to pfc and started acting instead of sitting in limbic with fear of water and going out of breathe..so many times I wanted to give up as I couldn’t deal with the fear but finally I overcame it with constant efforts and action. Your videos make so much sense. I love ur content. Thank you and please keep up the good work.

I am a physiotherapy student from rguhs...and I am currently preparing for some competitive exam...and I watching your video made me realise what i lacked...need much more videos sir....Much respect and support

One of the most practical videos I ever seen on RU-vid. A great thank you.

I feel a positive change in my life after start watching your videos Bro...😊 I became more focused, more productive, more disciplined, less distracted.... And My brain just love to learn about itself... Lots of love Big Bro...💕💕💕

Really amazing video, needed something like this. Thank you 😊

Guess my limbic system is literally dominating over my prefrontal cortex most of the times! I even daydream a lot! Now I know why I enjoy doing it always! This video was just what I needed! I heartily appreciate your efforts for making such content for us! TYSM Dr. Sid ❤

Thanks a lot Dr. Sid… keep motivating and sharing your knowledge with us 👍

that's great info! knowing why I am in my head for longer durations sure helps me. so the counter action is to reward myself for smaller achievements, so that I can maintain balance between pfc and limbic. knowing how to balance thoughts sure sure helps me!!!
