I've been thinking a lot about this quote lately: "The treasure you seek is in the work you are avoiding" 🌟What treasures do I seek? 🌟What work or task am I avoiding? 🌟How can I get better at avoiding it less? The first two questions you need to answer for yourself, but in this post, I can help answer the last: By enhancing your tenacity and willpower. Enhance Your Tenacity & Willpower (Scientific Evidence Shows Us How) Tenacity is the willingness to persist under pressure and resistance of different kinds. Willpower is control exerted to do certain things and to resist certain things. They are close relatives. Andrew Huberman, Assistant Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at the Stanford School of Medicine, describes tenacity and willpower as existing at one end of a continuum with apathy and depression at the other end. The increase and decrease in motivation is what moves us up and down this continuum. Multiple neuroscience research studies are showing that there is actually a single area in our brains responsible for tenacity and willpower. Introducing the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC). Research shows a positive correlation between willpower and tenacity and the volume and activation levels of the aMCC: 🌟Neuroimaging of participants engaging in hard tasks show elevated activity of the aMCC when compared with those performing easy tasks. 🌟Students with high academic performance have higher resting activity levels in their aMCC as compared with others. 🌟Individuals who have lesions in the aMCC area have increased levels of apathy and depression with lowered tenacity and willpower. 🌟Successful dieters have higher levels of aMCC activity whereas failed dieters and people with obesity have diminished level 🌟'Super-agers' - people who are 60 years and older who have cognition levels of people in their 40s, 30s, and even mid-20s show a maintenance of their aMCC volume as opposed to 'normal-agers' where it decreases over time. 🌟Electrical stimulation of the aMCC resulted in participants feeling some sort of psychological pressure and an urge to push back and successfully overcome it "feels like a storm is coming, and confident coming out on the other side"

Morning lovely people, I am wondering if any of you is suffering from it or successfully handling it and what's you've learnt in the process :)

⁉️Why are you REALLY here? Why are you REALLY doing this? 👀As you make your way through the hustle and bustle of your quest to become a coach or to become a better coach, as you go through the motions towards your own version of success and freedom, it is really easy to lose track of the reason WHY you are going on this journey. This is one of the most common hurdles that people face when they are on a self-growth discovery. What’s worse, is how hard it is to come back from this and get back on the right track. As you start, or as you continue on your journey, it is essential for you to make & reflect on your list of all the reasons why this particular goal matters to you and why you are going after it. Sit down and pull from your memories and feelings, making sure to draw yourself a visual & verbal picture that will be able to bring you back to the exact moment when you decided what goal you wanted to accomplish. Take the time and care to complete this step because remembering is about more than just facts, it's about the connections you have with the goal. So, what’s your why?
