 The Brain works in mysterious ways,

but a lot of these mysterious have been deboned by Psychology and Science.

𝟏. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 If we truly believe that we are going to experience something, our minds and bodies will follow so. This shows the power of how important it is to master your mind.

𝟐. 𝐁𝐚𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫-𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐧 (𝐁𝐌𝐏) Have you ever learned a new word and you started to see that word everywhere? This might be the BMP in action.

𝟑. 𝐀𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 When we first learn information, we tend to reflect back on that initial information, once we are faced with a similar situation.

𝟒. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟖𝟎/𝟐𝟎 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 Also, known as Pareto Principle, is the easiest way to run pop your productivity. This principle states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

𝟖. 𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 We all grow with an initial perspective. We hold on to these beliefs and attract people who enforce them. But what if we face a contradictory idea?

A situation in which we are faced with 2 perspectives opposing each other. Our brains start feeling very uncomfortable and it’s the kind of pain our brains want to avoid. Instead, it seeks something which brings pleasure. So, you’ll change either your belief or your behavior.
