Nurture The Attention Center Of Your Brain To Reach Your Goals

Why does the simple process of writing out goals and visualizing their accomplishment work?

Although there are many theories about this, one is related to what is called the Reticular Activating System (RAS). It is an integral part of every person’s brain and motivation process.

The RAS is the “attention center” in the brain. It is the key to turning on the subconscious capabilities of the creative mind. Many believe it to be the center of motivation.

This system determines where you place your attention. In other words, it is the part of the brain where the world “outside” of you and your “inside” world of thoughts and feelings come together and meet.

Goal setting is the process of telling your RAS what is important to you, so that it lets in information that is meaningful to the achievement of a particular goal.

Think of it this way . . . the more you focus on your desired outcome, with as many details as possible, the more your mind has the power to help you achieve goals. Nurture your brain with the best possible information and then support the process with consistent action.
