The Event High: Neuroscience, Motivation, and the Blueprint for Lasting Change

10m · Published 16 Aug 09:00

Welcome to another enlightening episode where we dive deep into a phenomenon we've all felt but rarely understood - the event high. Picture this: you're at a grand event, soaking in every word, feeling on top of the world. But a week later, that blazing fire within reduces to mere ashes. Why? Today, we're unraveling the mysteries of our brain, exploring why we lose that motivation and how to make it last. I felt compelled to share this episode because understanding this can be a game-changer in our personal and professional lives. Let's dive in!

Key Takeaways:

  • The power of events and the unique energy they bring.
  • The neuroscience behind the event high: Understanding dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.
  • The alarming rate at which we forget what we learn.
  • The AARC Blueprint for lasting transformation: Awareness, Action, Repetition, and Community.
  • The importance of community in our transformation journey.

Step-by-Step Process to Ensure Lasting Change:

  1. Awareness: Recognize the event high for what it is - a spark.
  2. Action: Implement one thing you've learned immediately.
  3. Repetition: Practice daily to reinforce new learnings.
  4. Community: Engage with like-minded individuals for collective growth.

Notable Quotes:

  • "It's not about the spark. It's about the consistent flame that follows."

Always remember, while events can ignite a spark within us, it's the daily actions, habits, and community support that truly fuel our transformation journey. Embrace the journey, stay persistent, and surround yourself with a community that uplifts and supports you.

FAQs:

  1. What is the event high? It's the surge of motivation and empowerment we feel during significant events.
  2. Why do we lose motivation after events? Our brains are wired to retain reinforced information and discard non-essential data.
  3. How can we sustain the motivation from events? By following the AARC Blueprint: Awareness, Action, Repetition, and Community.
  4. Why is community important in our transformation journey? A supportive community bolsters our growth, provides insights, and helps us stay accountable.

We'll explore the concept of life hacks, particularly focusing on an organization planning hack that involves setting up a system to keep you focused on your most essential priorities. This hack, which I call "Win Your Week Before Your Week Begins," can lead to remarkable improvements in your productivity and results.

We'll also discuss how to implement this hack in your life, examining your environment and routines, and how you can structure your work environment and plan your week and day to ensure focused effort and excellent execution.

Remember, the power of a hack lies in its ability to reduce the degree of freedom in your environment. It's about stabilizing the process, lightening the burden of memory and muscular control, and guiding your actions toward excellence by default.

Key Takeaways:

  1. A life hack is a strategy, technique, or shortcut that can be used to manage your time and daily activities in a more efficient way.
  2. The power of a hack lies in its ability to reduce the degree of freedom in your environment, guiding your actions towards excellence by default.

  5. Implementing a life hack like "Win Your Week Before Your Week Begins" can help you execute faster, better, and easier, and achieve remarkable results with less effort.

Quotes:

  1. "A life hack is simply a strategy, or a technique or a shortcut that can be used to manage your time and daily activities in a more efficient way."
  2. "It's about hacking your environment, your daily processes, your SOPs, your standard operating procedures of how you do things to minimize effort, reduce mistakes, and expedite productivity."
  3. "If there's things you're doing during the week that aren't getting you to your goals, you're wasting your time."
  4. "Remember, the power of a hack lies in its ability to reduce the degree of freedom in your environment in what you do. It's about stabilizing the process, lightening up the burden of memory and muscular control and guiding your actions towards excellence by default."
  5. "Implement the strategies to take control of your time and you will be amazed at the results that you can get."

Resources Mentioned:

  • Neuro Encoding Institute: An institute founded by Joseph McClendon III, offering neuroscience-backed coaching.
  • Monthly Planner: A free downloadable monthly planner that Sean uses to plan his week and day.

As a leader in this field, my best advice is to start implementing these hacks in your life. Examine your environment and routines, and think about how you can structure your work environment and plan your week and day to ensure focused effort and excellent execution. Remember, persistence is key. It may seem hard at first, but with consistent effort, it will become effortless. Use the magic of neuroplasticity to rewire your subconscious mind for winning your week before your week even begins.

Harnessing Accountability for Accelerated Success: A Neuroscience Perspective

23m · Published 23 Jul 22:32

In this episode, Sean Osborn, the host of the Thinking Big Podcast, dives into the power of accountability systems and how they can significantly enhance our success rate in achieving our goals. Sean discusses the neuroscience behind accountability systems, explaining how our brains are wired for social interaction and how involving others in our goals can make the process more engaging and motivating. He also highlights the importance of having an accountability partner or system, explaining how it can leverage our brain's natural tendencies towards social interaction, rewards, and fear of social disapproval to keep us motivated and on track.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Accountability systems can dramatically increase your chances of success and speed up your journey toward your goals.
  2. Our brains are inherently social, and involving others in our goals taps into this aspect, making the process more engaging and motivating.
  3. Having an accountability partner can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction.
  4. The fear of letting others down can be a powerful motivator. When we commit to someone else that we're going to do something, we are more likely to follow through because we don't want to disappoint them.
  5. Accountability partners can help reduce stress and anxiety. Having someone else who's invested in our success can provide emotional support and help us manage those feelings.
  6. Accountability partners can help you track your goals, call out your BS, uncover your blind spots, act as a red light, serve as a sounding board, ease the pain, and be your partner in crime.
  7. There are three distinctive styles of accountability systems: individual accountability, team accountability, and reciprocal accountability. Each has its own benefits and can be used for different types of goals.

Quotes:

  1. "One is too small of a number to achieve greatness." - John Maxwell
  2. "Accountability breeds responsibility." - Stephen Covey
  3. "On good teams, coaches hold players accountable. On great teams, players hold players accountable." - Joe Dumars

Resources Mentioned:

  • Sponsor: The Neuro Encoding Institute, for neuroscience-based coaching certification that empowers you with cutting-edge strategies.
  • Episode 103 on mirror neurons
  • Episode 125 on the secret strategy of successful entrepreneurs.

In my experience, accountability is critical for success. Whether it's writing a book or training for an Ironman, having an accountability partner has kept me on track and motivated. It's not always easy, and there will be highs and lows, but having someone who understands and supports your goals can make all the difference. Remember, you don't travel alone. Surround yourself with the right company because proximity matters. There is power in proximity.

FAQ:

  1. What is an accountability system? An accountability system is a system that can dramatically increase your chances of success and speed up your journey towards your goals. It can be a person or a group to whom you answer for your actions and results.

  2. Why is having an accountability partner beneficial? Having an accountability partner can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. It can also help reduce stress and anxiety, provide emotional support, and keep you motivated and on track.

  3. What are the different styles of accountability systems? There are three distinctive styles of accountability systems: individual accountability, team accountability, and reciprocal accountability. Each has its own benefits and can be used for different types of goals.

  4. What does an accountability partner do? An accountability partner can help you track your goals, call out your BS, uncover your blind spots, act as a red light, serve as a sounding board, ease the pain, and be your partner in crime.

  5. What is the principle of reciprocity? The principle of reciprocity is a fundamental principle in human interactions. It's the idea that if someone does something for us, we feel a strong urge to do something for them in return.

In this enlightening episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, host Sean Osborn sits down with Teresa McCloy, a renowned Enneagram expert and creator of the Real Life Process. They dive into the depths of self-discovery, the Enneagram, and how understanding oneself can lead to a more fulfilling and harmonious life.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Real Life Process: Teresa McCloy introduces her life management system, the Real Life Process. It is divided into three parts: knowing your real self, living it out in your real life, and doing your best real work. The process helps individuals discover their true selves and live a life that reflects their values and passions.

  • The Enneagram: Teresa explains the Enneagram, a personality tool that has both a spiritual and psychological side. It is a drawing with nine different personalities, each representing a different core trait. The Enneagram helps individuals understand their thinking, emotional, and instinctual intelligence.

  • The Nine Types: The nine types in the Enneagram are Peace (Type 9), Goodness (Type 1), Love (Type 2), Effectiveness (Type 3), Creativity (Type 4), Wisdom (Type 5), Loyalty (Type 6), Joy (Type 7), and Power (Type 8). Each type has its strengths and weaknesses.

  • Nature, Nurture, and Free Will: Our personalities are shaped by the combination of our genetic makeup (nature), our upbringing and environment (nurture), and the choices we make (free will).

  • Living in Harmony: Teresa emphasizes the importance of living in harmony rather than balance. By understanding oneself through tools like the Enneagram, individuals can find internal peace and joy, regardless of external circumstances.

  • Sean's Enneagram Results: Sean shares that he took the Enneagram test for the first time and discusses the insights he gained from it.

  • "There's more to it than just 'Oh, I can work from the pool or I can be in Hawaii or in the Bahamas'. It's really about the internal peace." - Teresa McCloy
  • "I want to know as much about how I work, how I'm wired, how I think, how I act, how I react, so that the anxiety in me can be managed." - Teresa McCloy
  • "It's the internal peace. So I want to know as much about how I work, how I'm wired, how I think, how I act, how I react, so that the anxiety in me can be managed." - Teresa McCloy
