Dr Emily Balcetis - How to Never Quit Your Long-Term Goals Using Neuroscience-Based Tools for Focus and Motivation

“What we see directly predicts what we do” -  Emily Balcetis

TUNE IN TO LEARN:
- Surprising ways Olympic runners look at things that help them to win;
- And how it can help a weekend jogger/exerciser (like myself) to run and do more, better and faster (23% faster and feeling 17% less tired); 

- How looking at things differently changes our focus and how it can help you achieve your long-term goals - sticking with consistent action and making progress more effectively without feeling exhausted or tired; 

- How different goals - easy, mid-challenging, and far-out-of-reach - change how energized and ready to go you feel to work on your goals, and what it has to do with your blood pressure; 

- How the skill of narrow focus and bringing the future into the present will help you to put in consistent effort into your long-term goals that will not happen without that effort - how Emily used it to learn how to play drums at a year-away concert; 

- How a wider bracket, looking at a bigger picture - can help you to find another path and pivot faster to keep making progress towards your goals VS being stuck and then giving up; 

- How Vera Wang used the wide bracket concept to transition from figure-skating to wedding dresses design while still pursuing her passion; 

- How “materializing” helps your brain to always remember your long-term goals that often seem less important than today’s urgencies - like long-term health VS saving time while busy and eating whatever; 

- Framing - how you organize your fridge will make or break your diet; 

- What you see is what you do, the art and science of designing your habitat that designs your life in a favorable fashion; 

- How framing might be one sure way to happiness you are 100% in control of - who knows, maybe the mental health epidemic is all about bad framing skills?

... and so many more insights to design your dream life with neuroscience!
