What if goals weren’t goals but were the universe’s dream for you living your highest purest form. And what if your body loved goals which is located in your liver? And what if you are always achieving your goals but you were not aware.

Here are insights about goals related to the magic of goals, dreams and manifesting which aligns with my book SECRET CODES TO MANIFESTING.

Often the biggest obstacle in achieving your goals lies not in external challenges, but within the complex labyrinth of your own brain unseen, and often underestimated the brain harbors unconscious limiting beliefs, deep-seated fears and unspoken insecurities that can stealthy undermine your efforts. These hidden mental blocks can trigger self-sabotaging behaviors, turning your brain into an inadvertent adversary in your path to success.

What if by reading this you turn your greatest enemy into your greatest ally. What if you could use the nuances of neuroscience to flip this script. Imagine being able to short circuit and rewire your thought patterns, transforming your brain from a subtle saboteur into a powerful accelerator, thereby unlocking your true potential to turn your aspirations into great achievements this year.

Let’s break goal achievement down into parts planning, execution, and follow through. Number one, planning. This is setting achievable and believable goals. For this, you’ll use the 85% rule. Here’s the neuroscience. Your brain thrives on challenge and achievement. When you set goals that you believe you can achieve at least 85% of the time, you engage the brain’s reward circuits, releasing dopamine and a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and motivation, for example.

Improving eating habits for better health. A goal might be to make healthier food choices 85% of the time, or enhance daily productivity. Set a goal to complete 85% of your planned tasks each day efficiently, or learning a new language or a musical instrument. Set a goal to have 85% successful practice sessions where you grasp and apply new concepts or techniques correctly.

Unlike the all or nothing goals, where a single miss can lead to feelings of failure. And abandonment. The 85% rule encourages sustainable motivation and learning by accommodating occasional setbacks. The 85% rule nurtures an adaptable and persistent pursuit of goals, fostering continuous improvement without the crippling pressure of perfection.

Number two, execution. Your greatest enemy in the execution process is procrastination. Here’s the neuroscience, the basal ganglia, a crucial part of the brain are instrumental in initiating action and overcoming procrastination. When faced with a task, especially a daunting one, these structures can become a bottleneck leading to procrastination.

So here’s what you can do to unblock it. When you start with small, manageable tasks, you effectively send a clear go signal to the basal ganglia. This simple action lowers the mental barrier to getting started as the task appears less intimidating and more achievable. Once this initial go signal is sent, the task is underway.

The basal ganglia become more active in maintaining this momentum, making it easier to continue with the task at hand and subsequently take on larger tasks. Essentially, tackling small tasks first sets off a positive chain reaction in the brain, paving the way for increased productivity and reduced procrastination.

For example, if your big goal is to run a marathon, begin with very short runs or brisk walks for just 10 to 15 minutes a day. Then gradually increase your distance and intensity over weeks and months, or learning a new language. Start with learning a few common phrases or words dedicating just 10 minutes daily to using language learning, maybe on an app.

Then slowly increase your scope to more complex sentences, grammar rules, and eventually conversational practice, or say, improving time management by targeting one part of your day at a time, like your morning routine. Then apply similar strategies to other chunks of your day. You can use the Insane Productivity course to help you if you need it.

Number three, follow through where most everyone screws up. Here’s the neuroscience, your anterior cingulate cortex, we’ll call it the ACC is a part of your brain that greatly helps when working towards big goals. It does three important things. A, it keeps you focused on your goal. B, it notices when you make a mistake and helps you fix it. And, and C, it helps you stay calm when things get tough. To continue to activate your ACC, have visible progress tracking that is reviewed continually. You can do that with journaling every day. That is what I do. This will continue to kick you’re ACC into gear and help you adjust your strategies based on your progress.

Understanding and leveraging the neuroscience behind goal achievement can transform how you approach your aspirations by aligning your strategies with the way your brain works, you can enhance your ability to set, pursuit and persist. In achieving big goals. In summary, here are your three action items that turn your brain from a goal achieving adversary to a powerful ally.

Number one, set smart goals, and use the 85% rule. You know, SMART acronym is

• specific,
• measurable,
• achievable,
• realistic,

Be thrilled when you’re on track 85% of the time. Number two, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Begin your big goal with a very small, very achievable step, and once momentum progress happens from there.

And number three, visibly track your progress. Keep your powerful ACC activated to help you stay focused, make adjustments, and stay emotionally positive all along the way.

I know this as a fact as when I was nursing I could see within patients brains and the magic that happened was fabulous on how they were goals setting consciously and subconsciously. And those that have attend the Millennium Grid and Calendar know this to be true as they learn the Secret Codes to Success and Manifesting.

Both the universe and I are backing to up! Let’s do this together. Remember my secret is also to celebrate from my book CELEBRATE!
