Your Brain and Reaching your Goals

"If you are someone who always feels like you "fail" at the things you set out to do, you must read on because …you are not a failure..here's why. There is something in our brain that is called the RAS. The Reticular Activating System. The RAS is a bundle of nerves at our brainstem that filters out unnecessary information so the important stuff gets through. For example, the RAS is the reason you learn a new word and then start hearing it everywhere.... In the same way, the RAS seeks information that "validates" your beliefs even those that aren't serving us and we want to rid of. Your brain always wants to be "right" which is why you will always have this internal struggle. You know when you hear your inner voice say "well maybe it's not that bad after all"... your brain is trying to convince you to "just stay where you are..it's easier" ... In addition to that we could also go down the ego rabbit hole as well. The ego is very "fear based" - doesn't like "change" so therefore taking the leap of faith to change often never happens because your beliefs are also being validated by your RAS." In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism I share something about your brain that you may have never heard of...The Reticular Activating System. During this episode I share how your brain is sometimes (unknowingly) working against you and your goals. The great news is, you have the ability to change that!
