How to Rewire Your Brain for Success: Mindset Hacks for High Achievers (Part 3)

‍

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. My name's George Wright III. I'm your host. I'm glad you're joining me today, and I hope that you joined us on Monday and Tuesday. If not, you can go back and check those out because we are right at the end of a series of three episodes on how to rewire your brain for success—mindset hacks for high achievers.

I'm really excited to be able to share these last few with you because one of the things I'm real passionate about is health and fitness, and I feel like your mind and your body have such a strong connection. I'm sure you know that. And so I'm gonna share some ideas with you today that I think are really going to help you. Maybe they're ideas you've heard of, maybe they're not, but they're gonna remind you of ways that we can help you rewire your brain—because your brain is one of the most powerful tools you have. And I think a lot of people know this.

‍

The Importance of Proactive Mind Programming

And even though they don't normally do things to proactively train their mind for success, I think most of us forget the fact that our mind is being programmed regardless. So you may not be doing things proactively, like we've talked about in this short list I'll review here in a minute, but one way or another, you're being programmed.

You're being programmed primarily from your external environment—your circumstances, the people around you, the business, the partners, and the people you collaborate with. And so it's very important that you take responsibility for programming your own mind. One of the things I'm gonna mention before we get back into our list is this: I want to do what I can to help you build your authority as well.

‍

Upcoming Podcast Announcement

And I mention this because we have a brand new podcast that'll be launching—a joint venture we're doing with Valiant CEO Magazine called The Authority Formula.

Many of you know that we've had on the cover of our magazines—Authority Magazine and Valiant CEO in particular—people like Grant Cardone, Kathy Ireland, Kevin Harrington. We've had a ton of celebrities, experts, athletes. And last month—or I guess this month… no, it was last month—we had President Donald Trump on there.

And despite what your political affiliation may be, there is one gentleman who has built a brand. He has built authority in a marketplace—whether people were attacking him, whether things were going right, or whether things were going wrong. And sometimes you might feel like you're getting beat up all the time too.

There are some principles in that interview that I think you will find you can use in your business. So go check it out over on Valiant CEO Magazine. In fact, I'll put the link in the show notes as well.

Continuation of Mindset Hacks

So let's get back to our series here. I thought about doing this whole series, by the way, all in one episode. It would've been a little bit longer, but I felt—since we're talking about repetition and frequency—I wanted to break it up and remind you multiple days in a row. Because this is such an important factor.

If you don't get your mindset and your thoughts right—if you don't train your brain for success—it’s going to work against you. It's going to do things it's designed to do. It's going to protect you. It's going to think about negative things so that you can be prepared for them. It's going to find the negative and the problems in areas.

It's not trained to be the success seeker—the positivity giver. And that's going to be up to you.

So I'm giving you these 12 hacks, these 12 habits that high achievers do in order to really program and rewire their brain for success. And as a reminder, I'll just read you back through the couple we went through the other day:

We had neuroplasticity—the science of rewiring your brain. Visualization—literally mentally rehearsing for success. Affirmations—which are going to be your way of programming your conscious and subconscious mind. Habit stacking—like James Clear talks about in Atomic Habits. Then yesterday we talked about mental reframing—seeing situations as opportunities, not setbacks. We went on to thought-stopping techniques and eliminating negative self-talk. Then identity shifting—finding ways to act, move, and think like the future version of yourself. And finally, gratitude practices—because we know that gratitude is going to help you train your brain for the positive. And with daily practice, you're going to be happier, less stressed, and more fulfilled.

So make sure you're implementing those in your life.

Let’s get back into the last four ideas I have. These are going to be a little bit more body-related.

‍

Sleep and Brain Optimization

The ninth hack would be sleep and brain optimization, meaning resting so that you have mental clarity.

See, most of us—it's like a badge of honor to be grinding all the time—but most of us don’t realize the quality sleep you need in order to have the ultimate cognitive function and resilience. You want to be resilient, and you want to have high-functioning mental clarity, but you don’t give yourself the sleep that you need or the rest that you need.

Now, I'm not saying you have to have eight hours. Jeff Bezos talks about how he prioritizes eight hours—and by the way, he did that even before he was a billionaire. But having sleep is important.

So what I’d love for you to do is, at a minimum, have a consistent bedtime routine. Find ways to reduce the blue light that you’re exposed to—like being on your phone—and really look at the sleep environment you have. They talk about how colder temperatures are better, and not having work or screens and things like that around you when you're sleeping.

Get a place where you can sleep and get that rest and mental clarity, and it will take your whole life to the next level. Treat your brain with a little bit of patience and a little bit of tender care, and maximize that sleep.

‍

Cold Exposure for Mental Toughness

The tenth thing that I wanted to talk about is cold exposure.

I think you’ve probably heard about this a lot lately—it’s a big thing right now—but it’s this idea of mental discipline. One of the things I’ve personally really benefited from is just a... I’m not a big fan, I’ll be honest with you, of cold showers and ice baths, but cold exposure does boost your mental toughness.

So whether it’s cold showers, ice baths—these things will not only help you to build mental resilience but also increase your dopamine levels. The Wim Hof method—you’ve heard about that. Cold exposure enhances your mental and physical performance.

But here’s just one thing you could try—and I’ve done this for years—at the end of your shower, just switch the water over to cold and take a 30-second to one-minute cold shower. Just finish on that. And I promise you—it’ll be tough the first few times—but you can tell yourself that you’re making yourself create mental discipline.

And I think you’re gonna find that the dopamine, the resilience, the refreshing feeling you get—it’s gonna go a long way.

So, cold exposure is big.

‍

Dopamine Management

Next, dopamine management. This is one I’ve got to really heavily promote, because regulating your dopamine release is going to be critical.

So many people—especially high achievers, by the way—they don’t sit there and scroll social media and deplete their dopamine by constantly having things interrupt their attention.

In fact, if you’ve heard of the dopamine detox method—spend 24 hours offline. Reset that reward system that you have in your life. You’ve got to learn to control your motivation chemicals. You’ve got to learn to control your dopamine.

Because this is something you can’t use to your benefit if you're just constantly getting that dopamine fix from social media, TV, or whatever it is that you're dealing with.

So really think about how often you use your phone, how often you're looking at your screens, how often you're doing that—and take time. Maybe it’s just even weekends that you take away from that. But find ways to get detoxed off the dopamine and manage your dopamine properly.

‍

Power Poses for Confidence

Then the final—twelfth—area, the twelfth way that I feel like we can rewire your brain. And this is one you probably weren’t thinking about, but I’m just gonna give it to you.

It’s power poses.

So, I’ve done events all over the world. We’ve had millions of people go to our events. I’ve had everybody from Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump—everybody out there. And what I’ve found is that not everybody has the confidence of a Michael Jordan or a Lance Armstrong.

And so, if you want to expand and promote confidence, there’s nothing like boosting your actual physical feeling of confidence through power poses.

And what that is—it’s like the idea of standing up with your shoulders back, your chest up. Stand tall. I know several speakers who even do this right before they go up. They just use that Superman approach—put your hands on your waist, stand up straight for a couple of minutes. Just standing up tall with your hands on your hips before a meeting, before an event, before you’re going to do something important—it will help to build your confidence and rewire your mental confidence.

They’re called power poses. And if you look at your body language right now—what is it?

Are you hunched over a little bit? Is your head down? Or is your head up, shoulders back, chest out, standing tall?

Because when you just do that physically, your mind and your body will exude more confidence—even if you’re working on it yourself.

So that’s the last suggestion I have for you in this series on how to reprogram and rewire your brain for success.

‍

Final Thoughts and Encouragement

But I just want to mention this one last time. The goal here is to reprogram your mind because you’ve had a lifetime of building habits, of building experiences, of building beliefs.

And even if you say that you are doing what it takes to be successful—maybe your actions aren’t reflecting that. Maybe internally you’re doing it, but you’re acting as if, and you’re just not there. What I’m talking about is that internal world, that inner game.

The goal here is—your brain, your mind, and your thoughts can be your most powerful asset, but they can also be one of your most vicious villains and one of the most difficult things to work against.

If you’ve ever been caught up in your mind—depression, anxiety, stress, imposter syndrome—these all happen not because of circumstances in your life. They happen because of what’s going on in your mind.

And the key takeaway I want you to think about with this series that we talked about is—you’ve got to be proactive. If you could only do one thing, it would be to be proactive in training that tool, that number one tool in your arsenal—your brain—to look for success, to be success-oriented, to attract and have the energy that’s promoted by a success-minded individual... the future version of yourself.

The bottom line is—we all have within us the greatness we need to be able to create the life that we’re meant to live. And I know you have greatness as well.

You might feel like you’re doing it on your own. You might feel like, “I’ve heard all these things before,” but what I’m saying is—just don’t give up. Don’t stop. And don’t underestimate the power that you have in your mind and your brain to create the life that you’re meant to live.
