Natural rewards for the brain
Establishing effective habits to achieve goals involves creating a ritual board that outlines both challenging and manageable tasks. It's essential to set weekly targets, ensuring a balance between hard and easy tasks. Engaging in achievable activities, such as doing a few kettlebell swings at a time, allows for frequent completion and provides a sense of accomplishment. This method operates on principles from behavior change expert BJ Fogg, emphasizing the importance of a trigger for initiating behavior and a feedback mechanism for motivation. The presence of the ritual board serves as a constant reminder to take action, and ticking off completed tasks reinforces progress, leading to increased motivation. Recognizing that natural brain rewards stem from fundamental human needs like food, water, sex, nurturing, and achievement can further enhance the drive to engage in these productive behaviors.
