Your brain is always looking for evidence of what you already believe is important.
There’s a simple exercise Tony Robbins has used to demonstrate this.
Look around the room and find everything that’s red.
Really look. Find as many red things as you can.
Now close your eyes and name everything that was blue.
You probably can’t.
The blue things were there the whole time. You just weren’t looking for them.
The neuroscience behind this is your Reticular Activating System helping filter the enormous amount of information coming at you and determines what gets your attention.
If you think your spouse never helps, you’ll notice every dish they leave in the sink, and miss the ways they did help.
If you think your job sucks, you’ll collect evidence for that.
If you think you’re too busy to train, you’ll notice every reason you can’t fit it in.
If you believe people are generally selfish, you’ll see selfish people everywhere.
But the opposite is also true.
Look for people doing good things, and you’ll start seeing them everywhere.
Look for opportunities, and you’ll notice opportunities.
Look for progress in your training instead of everything you still can’t do, and you’ll see progress.
Look for reasons to be grateful, and you’ll find them.
Let’s work on what we’re training ourselves to notice.
