The Neuroscience of Consistency
Manage episode 512274757 series 2779203
Do you ever know exactly what to do—but struggle to actually follow through?
You’re not alone. Many high achievers find themselves with clear goals and systems in place, yet consistency slips away. The good news? It’s not about lacking willpower, it’s about training your brain’s “grit center.”
In this episode of Success Genius, I’ll walk you through the neuroscience of tenacity and introduce the Follow Through Method. You’ll learn how tiny acts of discipline can strengthen your anterior mid cingulate cortex—the part of your brain that helps you do hard things even when motivation fades. We’ll explore practical strategies like the 2-Minute Rule for Resistance, implementation intentions, and micro-commitments that make consistency feel natural instead of forced.
If you’ve ever wished you could trust yourself to follow through every time, this episode will show you how to build that muscle—one small win at a time.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- The neuroscience of tenacity and the brain’s “grit center” (the AMCC)
- Why consistency isn’t about motivation but about building discipline
- The Follow Through Method: 2-Minute Rule, Implementation Intentions, and Micro-Commitments
- Why self-compassion—not self-criticism—strengthens long-term discipline
Struggling to stick to your goals, even when you know exactly what to do? Tune in now to learn how to train your brain for consistency and build unstoppable follow-through!
