“Do Something You Hate EVERYDAY”- David Goggins
Andrew Huberman- a very well known podcaster and neuroscientist,in his recent podcast with David Goggins mentioned about the part of our brain which is called “Anterior Midcingulate Cortex” -A.M.C - its presence is on both sides of the brain
The interesting thing about this part is that if one does take challenges out of their COMFORT zone, the size of A.M.C increases and that corresponds to higher will power. This did resonate with me very well and I couldn’t agree more to the fact that doing things that were out of my comfort zone did help me gain more confidence,even if I encountered failures.
(Example: The first week of training in Jiu-Jitsu, I was slammed and could not survive a round in front of 16 and 22 year olds. I was atleast 8–9 years older than them.I could sit around feeling like a failure but since I had paid a heavy chunk of money, I had to get most out of my membership. I did well after few months and did score a silver medal in a tournament)

Do Something I Hate Everyday: Waking up early, running,and trying to form that habit
I agree with Andrew Huberman that this is one of the greatest discoveries in Neuroscience and I hope this helps anyone who might be in the same boat as I am: Trying to get better everyday. The big takeaway from reading books, listening to podcasts, and hearing people’s experiences that all this is not miracle, it takes a lot of consistent effort to grow and it is not a pleasant journey.It would not be thrilling if it was all sunshine and glory. I read this book by James Clear called “Atomic Habits” and I am a big believer that consistency and small achievements do compound for higher returns.
