Setting Goals

Lets talk about goal settings and Neuroscience today!  Lets learn how we can train our brain for success. Each evening write down some small goals for the next day. Make sure you they are something you know you can achieve. Mix very simple goals that you know you can do easily with something a little harder to accomplish.

Every time you cross an accomplished goal off your to do list you train your brain for success in the future. Your brain will become addicted to success and will work hard on accomplishing these big goals (dreams) of yours.

The more times you succeed at something, the longer your brain stores the information that allowed you to do so well in the first place. That’s because with each success, our brain releases a chemical called dopamine.  When dopamine flows into the brain's reward pathway (the part responsible for pleasure, learning and motivation) we not only feel greater concentration but are inspired to re-experience the activity that caused the chemical release in the first place.
