NEUROSCIENTIST: 3 Mental Habits of the Highly Successful 

Keep it up! Stuff like this takes time and it’s not easy.

@@user-ng5yo3kh8x Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my RU-vid channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a RU-vidr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this RU-vid thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)

Good luck !😊

Beautiful

@@Projecthappiness24 Thank you! What I really focus on is the value of the content and what I’m truly passionate about while helping others! I'm glad that I'm foolish enough to believe that I can actually start making money through my passions. I've never thought that I'd able to gain 1K subs faster. I can't imagine how many opportunities could have been wasted if I didn't have courage to go after them. That includes having this channel, being in a management role, having the people who actually care about me for who I am, freelance gigs, being an ambassador in a creative community and now I'm also planning on honing my public speaking skills through joining a toastmaster club and these all happened this year. It started with writing them all down on a piece of paper. A paper that serves as a reminder for me to go after what I want even through hard times. I'm not bragging about my accomplishments but simply hoping that this message can also inspire others to believe in themselves.

Yes-best summary of the 3 habits.

Teeth brushing is a good example, but it’s really a necessity more than a habit. I learned that in the morning, bacteria have formed on the teeth and in the mouth… that’s why it’s good to brush teeth _before_ breakfast rather than only brushing after it. This was maybe a year ago, but it’s been a while. It’s not an unthinking habit; I forget sometimes, but usually make a conscious decision to brush them… often my mouth is yucky anyway and I brush them simply because I know the cause of my yucky mouth now. Another one is having a pee. I usually have to anyway, so it’s not an unthinking habit. I put the kettle on, usually before I brush my teeth or pee. In fact, my ritual is mainly: shuffle out to the kitchen (I’m not a morning person), turn the kettle on, go to the bathroom, have a pee, wash my hands, brush my teeth. I then get my cup and put a spoon of instant coffee into it (no machine yet for _real_ coffee… but it’s coming!) and pour and stir. Coffee helps wake me up, but also helps stimulate my bowels. Okay, this is a bit much, but these are conscious choices with goals in mind. I’ve just started, today, going out for a few minutes of sunlight, so that is going to be with my coffee.

The first one was visualization

How to properly work hard or do other stuff depends on the biology and mechanisms and without that knowledge, it's a useless advice.

definetely a NGMI here @@cytroyd

bro didnt get the video

I would also like more clarification on this! How do you do both? Start a habit (say exercising) by rewarding yourself, while also not doing it for the reward but the effort itself?

​@@tobycurrie4499what I learnt from him in his another video about dopamine is that don't start any activity or end it by rewarding yourself that increases your dopamine so much or that gives you sharp peak of dopamine, it can make the exercise or those activities less enjoyable as you are conditioning the activity by those substance. Rather you need to get the dopamine by the task itself, even if it's hard to continue say yourself things like " I am doing it because it's my choice and I'm doing it because I love it. ( even if you don't love, saying that way will alter your brain and over time you will get the dopamine from the task )". To understand it better you can watch his video.

Well, you can do both. Positive anticipation and visualisation help with showing WHY a task is good to do, why you should master it and why you are going to successfully do it. That primes you to do a task simply because it’s what you need to do, and eventually doing this just becomes routine. Rewarding yourself after doing it anyway is just a reinforcement mechanism. It’s adding a positive to a positive. Really it is about HOW you set it up more then anything.

I think this "reward" is positive feeling for the step before, during, and after executing the habit, but I could be wrong.

Task bracketing is still not clear to me

Thank you for that!

Thanks

He is a genius

I would recommend you a book called 'atomic habits' in which there are step by step guidelines to make or break a habit. I am commenting 4 months after your comment But hope this will be helpful. Happy life ❤

Thank you 🙏

I find it's a bit of trial and error to work out what things, or sorts of things, should come first. I often like to start with something easy so I can start with a win. I've also found having too many things on my to do list just doesn't really work. If you list out the things you need to do and review the list, you can mark things that you know are the most important, I.e. will have the most impact. If you look down the list, some things stand out as being most important while others are trivial. You can ask yourself "what will happen if I don't do this?" - if the answer is nothing much will happen then it probably isn't important. It helps if you know what is most important at a given time, for example a course you are doing, or making money, or some health concern, etc. Then the things that are most important/impactful will be the things that have the greatest impact on that highest priority value. And sometimes you just have to done thing, maybe the easiest. Sometimes there is an assemblage of small tasks that you can get done in an hour to make your list shorter. Spending time thinking about the right order to do things can really block your progress. If you first think about the best sequence, you will get to the point where thinking is no longer helpful, and you just have to try it and learn from your mistakes. This is most useful for things you will do again, and if you won't do them again then it doesn't matter so much! I've learnt to focus on the things that will stick around in my life because I will see a better return on my investment than things that are for a limited time only. Hope that helps

Can a near death experience Amplify those mechanisms in the brain to completely break a twenty three year deadly habit cold turkey.

If you knew anything suggest me. I have one hack "Being Aware" it means you should know what to do now and next.If you wake up at morning grab a book and pen,write down the next 3 to 5 things that you want to do and immediately do the first thing.When you completed the first thing strike out and go to second thing and so on.All day you should write your next to-do lists and strike out. You should Make it easy and Make it interesting otherwise our ADHD brains lose intrest in this technique too. When you are learning something and you get distracted (like Adhd minds do) stop there, don't learn and stare at the walls and think about "what am I learning right now" this will make you curious about the topic and makes you interested to learn the topic again.

Google Huberman study focus

How much does nutrition/supplements (no sugars/cheap carbs) have to do with this? How much does exercise matter? How much does sleep matter?

Would you be able to do a video on how to change low confidence and maybe anything on body dysmorphia

How does being aware of knowing these things affect the outcome of the affects,like if you know the benefits of forcing yourself to do something that you don't want to do does it mean in a way we begin to enjoy it so the benefits don't work as good anymore?. It's a bit confusing to explain the question but it might be one of those paradoxes. Like if we are aware that bracketing works and know the procedure should we bracket knowing the procedure as well and could we bracket bracketing procedures so it could go on and on. Is there some kind of maybe meditational state someone could get into by repeated extended task bracketing visualizations that get larger and larger?

Did you figure it out

@@ThriveNow123 Yeah, It's monetized but huberman gets the cash. Basically you wont make any ad revenue with these kind of channels. You can however earn money with affiliate links or sponsorships.

You have the formula now implement.

So many people fall into self pity when depression hits. Today’s society breeds self pity wimps who turn to medication instead of internal fortitude to deal with the realities of life.

Read " Atomic Habits " By James Clear The theory is way less technical than this. In fact, everything this guy said in the video I could apply it subconsciously to a habit rule in james' book. Give it a try PS: Believe it or not I quitted smoking and started intermittent fasting just eating a lollypop whenever the urges would come. Yes, maybe you start eating a lot of lollypops but it's WAY LESS damaging than smoking everyday (and having that stick in your lips kind of replaces the cigarette feeling a bit so you don't get desperate) I took advantage of the dopamine release I got eating the lollypop as a REPLACEMENT When there's is a wish to change your state there's a replacement if you split it into pieces you can go down and down until the very foundations of that specific desire. In this case, to relax. Question is, is it there a way to relax or change your stressed mood BESIDES smoking? Yes. Plenty of them Problem is bad habits are 99% of the time WAY EASIER than good habits because they are indeed easy and we, as human being crave " easiness ". It's biological. Still, according to the book, if you wanna break a bad habit you must destroy every piece of the chain Cue(signal) - Craving - Response - Reward The cue to smoke could be maybe when you see someone smoking (unconscious signal) If you get the signal (visual, auditive, etc) there comes then a CRAVING(desire to change to that state) The response is when you effectively lit the smoke and the reward would be the dopamine burst inside your brain So the dopamine settles things like 1.- Smoking makes me feel relaxed 2.- Do it again and you'll get the same Problem is, if you do it too much your brain starts defending itself by building dopamine resistance to that specific stimulus. This explains why ppl need more and more cigarettes to get the same feeling after getting into the habit. I could tell you how you can destroy every chain of the bad habits but you can find out yourself reading the book :) Good luck!

Hm. At a guess visualise what you will be doing instead of smoking? Eg getting up and having a coffee or chatting with friends without smoking... Maybe visualise benefits of quitting smoking vs undesirable effects of continuing. Reward yourself for not smoking ???

Maybe he is trying to make the message of the video the most important thing to focus on.

Wtf

This isn't his video This is basically a clip from Huberman Lab edited into this
