SEALs to me are associated with a certain mindset . And this article my friend , is about the biggest mindset myth and a new way to achieve success .
In my humble opinion , the biggest mistake that people make in terms of trying to create a habit ( your entire life is nothing but a bunch of habits : what you eat , how you work , whom you hang out with ) is they rely on will-power .
Somewhere along the way , it was taught to us that will-power was the key to success . And while a little bit of it is great , too much will lead you right back to your starting point or perhaps even a lesser starting point from which you began .
The human brain ( PFC ) runs on will power . And that part of your brain runs on glucose . Once the glucose is ‘ burned up ’, you will go into a mental fog so to speak .
You have to let that area of your brain replenish before tapping back into it . Yes , you can try and push through it , but if you ever have in the past you will know that it feels like moving through quicksand .
And that is because you enter into a ‘ tension zone ’ and tension is pretty much like sand paper for creative thought .
What this also means though is that our supply of will power is finite . BUT , most people never use their will power at all .
They go through life like a robot , happy to be mediocre . They do what they are told and their entire life is one big comfy routine . They never try to get out of their comfort zone .
Being that most people never use their own will-power , you can and should use other people ’ s will power . How can you do this ?
Simple , whatever it is that you are trying to do , whatever you are trying to achieve , tell them about it and tell them often . They are going to ask you about how your quest is coming along , and they will do this constantly if you tell enough people .
