HARD MAKES EASY
DOING HARD THINGS IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER
“Easy Choices, Hard Life. Hard Choices, Easy Life,” - Jerzy Gregorek
According to neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, the science behind “doing hard things” lies in the activation and growth of a specific brain region called the “anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC), which is essentially the part of the brain responsible for handling friction and navigating challenging situations; by consistently engaging in difficult tasks, you essentially "train" this area, making it easier to tackle future challenges and build mental resilience.
Earned dopamine increases motivation
Dopamine from easy tasks (“cheap” dopamine) provides instant, short-lived pleasure, lowering your motivation, whole dopamine from hard tasks (“earned” dopamine) requires effort, lasts longer, and increases motivation.
