4 Cause we are...Can't start making new habits.

1- The brain thinks too big a picture for the body to actually start doing.

▪️ the brain will always evaluate new things we never do or can't do, "Overestimated."

▪️ because the PFC (planned thought brain) automatically views everything as a big (exaggerated 😬) thing.

▪️ results: The bigger the goal → the brain, the harder it feels → the resistance occurs → does not start once (procrastinate).

: Reference: How Emotions Are Made - Lisa Feldman Barrett (2017)

.

2- The nervous system values safety more than success.

▪️ Willpower book, Roy Baumeister.

Explain that when something new or risky uses energy,

▪️ the brain goes into "energy-saving" mode → Always choose the same familiarity instead of the new (always in the same comfort zone).

▪️ results: Start a new habit = the brain must burn energy → the brain does not like 😬

.

3- Habits have to be moved from PFC to Basal Ganglia to be easy to do!

▪️ Graybiel, the MIT Neuroscience Lab found that

The behavior is "simple" only when it is repeated until the brain moves the script to store in Basal ganglia, a habit system.

▪️ facts:

1. The first period requires "discipline."

2. Enough to repeat enough → become automatic → emergence of habits (do not force)

3. The brain will start to save energy and do it yourself.

.

4- Starting with a hunk beyond the number: The brain closes the door from the beginning.

▪️ here's why BJ Fogg, owner of Tiny Habits Models (2019), says:

"Behavior should be so small that it cannot fail."

▪️ because when the behavior is small, the brain does not interpret

"Hard (Not High Energy)"

▪️ results: 10 times easier to start and easier to continue without force.
