Have you ever wondered... why the beginning of diet or exercise is so difficult?
Have you ever wondered...
Why is it so difficult to start diet or exercise, but after a while it starts to get easier? 😬
It's not because we're "lazy."
It's about two systems that work alternately.
Today, the film will be told in short, concise, but it works. ✅
▪️ two brain systems that say, "Can we continue?"
1) System that makes it difficult to start: Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)
When I started making new habits,
Such as
Start diet.
Start exercising
Start weighing in every morning.
Start eating all the protein.
The brain will use Prefrontal Cortex (PFC), a command center.
Duty is
✅ think
✅. Decided.
✅. Plan.
✅. Use discipline.
But the problem is that PFC is easily tired and high-energy, making it feel like a lot of "force."
"This is why the first period we wanted to give up."
.
2) The system that keeps it simple: Basal Ganglia
When we repeat the same behavior,
Like the same time, the same place, the same pattern.
The brain will start moving work from PFC → Basal Ganglia (Habit Center).
The result is
✅ The behavior starts automatically.
✅ Use less motivation.
✅ Don't force every time.
✅ start "stuck" (don't do it, then feel weird)
"This is the so-called unforced Consistency, and everyone can create it, not talent."
.
▪️ three ways to make this neuroscience work.
Concept is to make the most of the same.
1. Do the same time
For example, exercise after work, diet with the same breakfast menu.
→ Reducing the burden of decision-making (Decision Fatigue)
2. Make it 30-50% easier than you think (Tiny Habits Logic)
Because PFC will allow for a simple start.
→ Forward to Basal Ganglia faster
3. Follow the sign that "it's already started automatically"?
Such as
No warning, would like to choose a good menu
The brain begins to yearn for "clean" food.
Not exercising and feeling strange
☑️ this is the moment that the habit works for us.
