Hey Reader,
Hope you are having an awesome weekend.
You might be familiar with these four principles as critical ingredients for goal achievement:
These principles or qualities have been endlessly written and bandied about throughout the personal development world and even in various spiritual teachings like the Law of Attraction as a major part of the formula for creating whatever you want in life.
This is widely referred to as “manifesting.”
Often characterized by the idea “thoughts become things” — and while that notion is often misunderstood, there is indeed a science behind how setting a goal will automatically put your brain to work in achieving that goal.
🧠 Your brain is built for goals!
This essay has been a long time in the making, aims to provide a simple overview of how those four components of thoughts, desire, belief, and action come into play when it comes to goals from a neuroscience perspective at the most basic of levels.

Use Positive Feedback Loops To Achieve Your Goals
Zen Habits | 9 mins
We have all been there. We make a plan to start a new habit or do a particular task consistently as part of achieving a goal we have, but life happens — we get distracted, interrupted, or we flat out don't feel like doing it. Then right on cue, we start to feel bad about it.
And if this happens again over the next few days, we feel completely undisciplined, discouraged, and like a failure.
This is the negative feedback loop at work.
Instead, we want to consciously employ POSITIVE feedback loops that give us some kind of reward or positive feeling regularly when we do the task or habit.
This post breaks down the principles behind designing a positive feedback loop to help keep us motivated and encouraged as move towards our goals. It's a damn good post.
