Ch02: Overcoming The Obstacles To Action

*These are just my thoughts and summary, all in my own words regarding this topic so I may omit some information that was taught in this book or course.
In this chapter we learn on the many different scientifically-proven methods on how we can  efficiently use our brain to turn our thoughts into things from Dr. Srini Pillay, who is a brain-imaging researcher at the McLean Hospital, Harvard's largest psychiatric hospital and also the founder of NeuroBusiness Group, a company that helps individuals and business reach their full potential.

 One of the things that we learn to increase our chances to turning our thoughts into reality is the examination of our current situation by writing down a list of the 'pros of the future' versus the 'cons of the now' and when we do this, we activate our left frontal cortex and this increases our commitment to change our current situation.

   Another technique that we learn from Dr. Pillay is to visualize our dreams and desires to activate our brain's GPS so that it may find a way to make it into a reality and the best way to do this is by connecting that visualizaton of our goals into an image of us overcoming adversity or by imagining executing our most feared action.

Another obstacle that we learn to overcome is "perfectionism" and Dr. Srini Pillay says that this idea of being so perfect before taking any action can actually hinder us from achieving our goals, and the best way to handle this is to completely drop the idea of being perfect and instead learn how to recover from mistakes quickly and move on.
Fear is another obstacle that we must conquer to manifest our dreams into reality, because if we cannot control the stress that our fears might create, then the stress would disturb the coordinated neural activity in our brain, thus we wouldn't be able to think and act in a way that best serves us.

So one of the ways that Dr. Pillay describe of handling our fears is to have mindfulness, and what he means by this to simply put all of our attention into our breath and let all of our thoughts and feelings to just flow as they are, without putting any meaning behind them. 

We sometimes get into a cycle of actions that repeatedly lead us to disappointments, and psychologists have termed this behavior as “retention compulsion.” The major key to breaking this cycle is by changing our brain's attentional system from “surviving” to “thriving.” When we have this shift, this allows our brain to think in terms of possibility rather than probability and this certainly would help us convert our thoughts into things.
