What if you could re-wire your brain to help you succeed? What if you could silence those negative stories and stifle doubt and fear?
Would you do it?
Tiny wins and small victories are potent. Every single one releases the neurotransmitter dopamine into the brain.
Dopamine is your friend, and you want to hang out together as much as possible.
It's like a chemical puppet master, controlling communication in the brain. It tells neurons when to fire or stand down. If when the neurons fire, it modulates the message, like a politician responding to a simple question.
Dopamine is also the brain's pleasure chemical. It has a domino effect throughout your body enhancing motivation, memory, behavior and cognition, attention, sleep, moods and learning.
It gets better.
Research shows that people will higher level of dopamine are actually motivated to work harder than others who have lower levels of dopamine.
A tiny win releases dopamine - your brain's way of rewarding successful behavior. That puts you in a better mood, improves your memory and let's you get a good night's sleep.
The increased levels of dopamine increase your motivation, which in turn, produces more small victories.
This is the crux of the matter and why it is vitally important to focus on tiny wins now rather than a major success or breakthrough in the future.
A major success, a dramatic victory, the breakthrough of a lifetime - these are all rare events. Sure, they will release a lot of dopamine, but they are few and far between.
In order to get to that big success, you need motivation. You get motivation from dopamine. You need a dopamine hit every day. You get those from tiny wins.
I'm sure you've experienced the elation of setting a big goal - be it financial, relationship or fitness - but then slowly over time lost your focus, lost your motivation, and put that goal in the dust bin.
That happens all the time.
Without the dopamine-filled chemical pathways, you have zero chance of success. It's not a matter of will power - not at all - it's biochemical.
You need to pull your own biochemical levers to ensure you have the motivation to continue. Many of us blame a lack of willpower or laziness for our failures. This is completely unfair and goes against everything we know about success.
Use the tiny wins to wire your brain for success and flood it with dopamine. The big victories will take care of themselves.
