Why Your Brain Wants You To Achieve Your Vision
Too many times in life people look back and wonder ‘What if?’ but your brain is asking you to push it further now because your potential is still there even as you age
Practices, practice, and more practice.
That’s what our brains love.
And to maximize your mental capabilities at anything you need to hold practice as being central to its success.
Because although there are many different ways to improve your mental performance it’s the consistency of effort that will benefit your improvement the most once you’ve chosen the right way of improving.
Of course, that doesn’t mean to say that you don’t need expertise around you to direct you, because you do!
But much of your improvement is up to how much time and effort you put in once you become aware of what will help you.
Because the human brain is built for action.
And that action demands habit.
Brain expert Fermin Moscoso Del Prado Martin of the Université de Provence in France believes that the brain can process a lexical decision-making task in about 60 bits per second.
However, not everyone’s brain processes things in the same way.
When a brain is processing it sends electrical signals from one neuron to another across a space called a synapse. But some people are thought to have slower processing speeds simply because the gap between the neurons is longer than average. Or they may have shorter branches like spikes called dendrites.
But there is one thing for certain and that’s the more times you repeat a simple thought or applied action that’s attached to that thought the faster you will get at doing it.
In turn, that improves mental performance.
But what are the techniques to restore or increase our mental performance?
Well, in truth, there are many techniques.
One of those is visualizing.
And visualizing things before they happen can speed up the processing of thought and make it more credible for us to believe it’s happening.
Because even if something is not happening by using suitable visualizations it can mold our mind into believing we are experiencing the event. And because our brains love to have electrical thought pushed from one neuron to another it doesn’t stop and ask:
“Is this a real thought or actually happening?”
at any time.
Because the speed of thought is so fast and as we have the power to execute it we can then create a new memory that we believe has happened in reality. And once we can remember something we can repeat that action according to how we felt during that memory.
Just, think about it for a second.
If you can remember back to whenever you first rode a bike or when you first drove a car there was a moment when after a short while you did everything correctly and felt good about completing the action properly. It may have been something as simple as throwing your leg over the crossbar of the bike or placing your two feet on the peddles for a moment just after pushing off from the ground. That moment of knowing that you are was now in control of the choice to ride that bike arrived.
Of course, within a split second you may have overbalanced or fallen off but it doesn’t stop that you achieved what you initially set out to do.
It’s the same when you learned to drive a car.
The first time you got the car into first gear and released your foot off the brake and clutch successfully and realized you were momentarily in control of the vehicle is a time of:
“Wow, I did it!”.
So instead of experiencing either of those two events, we can use the visual cortex area of our brain to imagine those moments are happening in reality. And once we have created a credible and appealing visual stimulus and we replay it over and over in our mind we are creating more neurological electricity in our brains.
This increases our feelings of achievement and in turn, creates confidence in our mind towards attempting and achieving the action when it comes about in real life.
And once you practice it over and over again you can perfect it.
Of course in the examples of beginning to ride a bike or attempting to drive a car for the first time, in reality, you may have messed up before you tried to visualize the positive outcome. And that has also created neurological connections in your brain that will feed your experience of the event. So to make sure you don’t mess up in the future you’ll need to delete the memory of that thought so it won’t hamper your progress with a negative memory the next time you attempt to ride the bike or drive the car.
But deleting is not an option.
Because our brains can’t naturally rewind back.
So the only way is forward.
That’s why you need to work hard at what you visualize and put ferocious focus and energy behind it.
And you need to practice, practice, and practice until it guides you to confidently achieve the actions properly.
So put your foot down and push off with confidence.
