Q & A

¿Cuál es la idea principal que se presenta en el guión?

La idea principal es que la mente inconsciente tiene un poder increíble y que si logramos enfocar ese poder en las tareas que deseamos realizar, podremos tener un éxito mucho mayor. Se describe a la mente inconsciente como cientos o miles de veces más poderosa que la mente consciente.

¿Cuál es el hábito que se sugiere para controlar y enfocar la mente inconsciente?

El hábito sugerido es asociar la tarea que estamos realizando con emociones primarias como la felicidad, el miedo o la supervivencia. Esto se logra mediante la visualización y el condicionamiento pavloviano. La idea es que la mente inconsciente reconozca la relación directa entre la tarea y estas emociones primarias, y por lo tanto se enfoque en esa tarea.

¿Qué se entiende por motivadores clave y por qué son importantes?

Los motivadores clave son las emociones primarias que impulsan nuestras acciones, como la felicidad, el miedo o la supervivencia. Son importantes porque la mente inconsciente reconoce y se enfoca en estas emociones fundamentales para el ser humano. Si logramos asociar nuestras tareas con estos motivadores clave, la mente inconsciente se invertirá más en esas tareas.

¿Cuál es el ejemplo que se da de cadena de motivación?

El ejemplo que se da es el de un estudiante de informática. Cuando se le pregunta por qué estudia informática, puede responder que quiere un buen trabajo, para ganar mucho dinero, para poder mantener a su familia. Eventualmente, la cadena se reduce a motivadores clave como la felicidad o el amor familiar.

¿Qué papel juega el ego como motivador clave según el guión?

El guión sugiere que el ego puede ser un excelente motivador clave. Se da el ejemplo del propio narrador, quien explica que su motivación principal para la programación competitiva es probar que es inteligente. El éxito le da un impulso al ego, mientras que el fracaso lo hace sentir inútil, lo que motiva a su mente inconsciente a ayudarlo a tener éxito.

¿Qué consejo se da sobre no sentirse con derecho al éxito?

Se aconseja no sentirse con derecho al éxito, ya que esto puede hacer que perdamos interés en nuestra meta y, por lo tanto, nuestra mente inconsciente también. Se sugiere bloquear esos sentimientos y mantenerse enfocado en la tarea y el objetivo.

¿Cuánto tiempo se recomienda dedicar a este hábito de condicionamiento?

Se recomienda dedicar unos minutos al día a este hábito de condicionamiento. No se necesita hacerlo durante mucho tiempo, ya que hay rendimientos decrecientes. Se puede hacer varias veces al día o con la frecuencia que se desee, pero lo importante es ser consistente.

¿Qué se sugiere hacer si ya se ama lo que se está haciendo?

Si ya se ama lo que se está haciendo, este método de condicionamiento no será tan útil, ya que la mente inconsciente ya estará enfocada en esa tarea de forma natural. Se menciona que este video está dirigido a aquellos cuya motivación no viene directamente del amor por la tarea en sí.

¿Qué trampa fácil se menciona y cómo se debe evitar?

La trampa fácil que se menciona es tratar de obtener pequeños golpes de dopamina haciendo tareas sencillas para sentirse bien rápidamente. Se aconseja evitar esto y no tratar de engañar al propio sistema, ya que no será productivo ni llevará a ningún lado. Se debe seguir realizando tareas desafiantes y normales, pero agregando el condicionamiento de vez en cuando.

¿Qué estilo diferente se menciona que tiene este video?

Se menciona que el título y el estilo de este video son diferentes a los videos recientes del narrador. Se indica que se está probando esta nueva forma de presentar algo nuevo y original, ya que se reconoció que la falta de originalidad era un problema en videos recientes.

Keywords

💡Mente inconsciente

La mente inconsciente se refiere a los procesos mentales que ocurren sin nuestra conciencia activa. Es una parte poderosa de nuestro cerebro que controla muchas funciones vitales, intuiciones, creatividad y gran parte del pensamiento. Según el video, la mente inconsciente es cientos o miles de veces más poderosa que la mente consciente y juega un papel crucial en el éxito de las personas, ya que puede enfocarse en tareas específicas incluso durante actividades aleatorias.

💡Motivación

La motivación es un factor clave para enfocar la mente inconsciente en una tarea o objetivo específico. El video sugiere que para controlar el poder de la mente inconsciente, es necesario encontrar las motivaciones fundamentales, casi instintivas, que realmente importan a nivel subconsciente, como la felicidad, el miedo a la supervivencia o la preservación del ego. Estas motivaciones primarias son reconocidas por la mente inconsciente y pueden impulsar su enfoque en una tarea determinada.

💡Condicionamiento pavloviano

El condicionamiento pavloviano es un concepto psicológico que se refiere a la asociación de un estímulo neutro con una respuesta particular. En el contexto del video, se sugiere utilizar este principio para asociar el progreso en una tarea con emociones positivas o negativas, de modo que la mente inconsciente reconozca esa asociación y se enfoque en la tarea para buscar esas emociones o evitarlas.

💡Cadena de motivación

La cadena de motivación es un concepto introducido en el video que se refiere al proceso de analizar las razones detrás de nuestras motivaciones. Implica preguntarse repetidamente "¿por qué?" hasta llegar a las motivaciones fundamentales o emociones primarias que realmente impulsan nuestras acciones. Comprender esta cadena de motivación es crucial para identificar los impulsores clave que la mente inconsciente reconoce y puede asociar con una tarea específica.

💡Hábito

El video propone un hábito diario como técnica para condicionar a la mente inconsciente a enfocarse en una tarea. Este hábito implica dedicar unos minutos cada día a visualizar y asociar la tarea con las motivaciones primarias o emociones positivas y negativas identificadas previamente. La repetición constante de este hábito refuerza la asociación en la mente inconsciente y la impulsa a centrarse en la tarea.

💡Ego

El ego se presenta como una motivación primaria poderosa que puede ser utilizada para enfocar la mente inconsciente. El video sugiere que asociar el éxito o el fracaso en una tarea con sentimientos de valía personal o autoestima puede impulsar a la mente inconsciente a esforzarse más, ya que reconoce la amenaza al ego como algo negativo que debe evitar.

💡Felicidad

La felicidad es una emoción primaria que el video identifica como un motivador clave reconocido por la mente inconsciente. Al asociar el progreso en una tarea con sentimientos de felicidad o satisfacción, la mente inconsciente se enfocará en esa tarea para buscar esas emociones positivas.

💡Miedo a la supervivencia

El miedo a la supervivencia es otra emoción primaria mencionada en el video como un motivador poderoso para la mente inconsciente. Si se asocia el fracaso en una tarea con una amenaza percibida a la propia supervivencia, la mente inconsciente se enfocará en esa tarea para evitar ese miedo y mantener la sensación de seguridad.

💡Intuición

La intuición es una de las capacidades poderosas atribuidas a la mente inconsciente en el video. Se sugiere que la mente inconsciente puede ofrecer ideas o insights valiosos de forma repentina, incluso cuando no se está pensando conscientemente en un problema. Este proceso intuitivo es uno de los beneficios clave de enfocar la mente inconsciente en una tarea.

💡Creatividad

La creatividad es otra habilidad destacada que el video atribuye a la mente inconsciente. Se menciona que la mente inconsciente es responsable de gran parte del pensamiento creativo y la generación de ideas novedosas. Al enfocar la mente inconsciente en una tarea, se puede potenciar la capacidad creativa para encontrar soluciones o enfoques únicos.

Highlights

Your unconscious mind is hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than your conscious mind, and successful people know how to focus this incredible source of brain power on what they're trying to accomplish.

The best people are able to think about things passively, even during random tasks like showering or skydiving, and keep their unconscious mind focused on the tasks they're trying to figure out.

To control the raw power of your unconscious mind and get it to listen to you, the speaker offers a habit that draws upon what drives your unconscious mind in the first place.

The speaker's quick rise to the top as a competitive programmer was largely due to his unconscious mind being extremely invested in his success, constantly churning out ideas and rewiring itself to get better at problem-solving.

Your unconscious mind is a background process that you don't have conscious control over, but it's unbelievably powerful and can handle complex thinking, like offering insights and intuition, when it's interested enough.

The key to controlling your unconscious mind is to get it to care about something by associating that something with primal emotions like happiness or fear of failure.

The speaker suggests a 'chain of motivation' exercise to identify your key motivators – the primal emotions that your unconscious mind recognizes and will focus on.

To condition your unconscious mind, visualize achieving your goals and let the associated happiness bleed into the present, directly associating your task with those positive feelings.

The habit the speaker recommends is spending a few minutes a day conditioning yourself by associating your task with your key motivators through visualization and reward/punishment.

Ego can be a potent key motivator – take failures personally to make your unconscious mind invested in success to preserve your sense of self-worth.

Avoid feeling entitled to success or artificially creating happiness through easy tasks – stay focused on your actual goals and continue putting in real effort.

This conditioning process can make a significant difference in your life by getting your unconscious mind to care about and focus its immense power on what you're trying to accomplish.

If you already love what you're doing, this method may not be as necessary since your unconscious mind will naturally care about it too.

The speaker acknowledges trying a new video style to present something original and innovative for the audience.

The transcript covers a method for harnessing the power of the unconscious mind to achieve success by conditioning it to care about your goals through associating them with primal emotions.

Transcripts

hi your unconscious mind is absolutely

cracked seriously it controls so many of

your most powerful brain processes

intuition Insight most of creativity and

basically the vast majority of the

thinking you do all goes on in the

background some have claimed your

unconscious mind is hundreds or

thousands of times more powerful than

your conscious mind and I would say one

of the biggest advantages that

successful people have is that they know

how to focus this incredible source of

brain power on whatever they're trying

to accomplish there's a famous post by a

former world number one competitive

programmer that claims the same thing

the best people are all able to think

about things passively even during

random tasks like showering or skydiving

and keep their unconscious mind focused

on the tasks they're trying to figure

out so you may be asking now how do you

do this too how do you control the raw

power of your unconscious mind and get

it to listen to you and I'm going to

offer you a habit something easy in fact

something you only have to do for a few

minutes a day to keep your unconscious

mind focused on what you want but

despite its Simplicity it'll work very

well because it draws upon what drives

your unconscious mind in the first place

and that sounds really nice it is really

nice so enjoy the video but first let me

tell you who I am all my points are

going to be logical but it'd be good if

you can trust my experience too so I'm

one of the world's best competitive

programmers that means problem solving

and I had an extremely quick rise to the

top and probably the biggest reason for

this is that my unconscious mind was

extremely invested in My Success because

even when I wasn't consciously thinking

about problems my unconscious mind was

churning out ideas in the background and

constantly rewiring itself to get better

and better at problem solving because it

cared so much about Improvement and the

hardest problem I ever solved in a

contest was solved through Insight which

is when you're unconscious mind out of

nowhere gives you a really good idea in

fact I personally kind of lost interest

in the problem I thought it was too hard

for me but my unconscious mind stayed

focused and cooked up ideas in the

background eventually gave me a really

good idea that ended up being correct so

my unconscious mind is very much on my

side and after this video you're going

to learn how to set that up for yourself

too but before we start that let me give

a bit of info on what the unconscious

mind is and does for us and I'm not

going to make the sciency so don't worry

about technical stuff just some basic

facts so what's important for this video

is that your unconscious mind is a

background process something you don't

have conscious control over so by

default it's doing random things like

regulating your body temperature and

making sure you're still breathing that

you're breathing manually now that I

mention it you're welcome and it's

unbelievably powerful just think about

how much your body does automatically

things you don't even realize are

happening even a fraction of that raw

power can be incredibly helpful to you

like let's do a speed test add two and

three that was instant right probably

before I even finished the sentence

that's because the task was so simple

your unconscious mind just decided to

handle it for you now add these two

numbers probably not so instant right

you can break it down into a bunch of

easy parts to your unconscious mind can

handle but it probably can't do the

whole thing and that's because you

probably don't have the addition

algorithm ingrained in your head so what

you had to do is consciously perform the

steps of addition with carrying and such

and feed those smaller tasks to your

unconscious mind to handle but that was

orders of magnitude slower because your

conscious mind is weak so you want your

unconscious mind to do as much for you

as possible and it's capable of a lot of

complex thinking such as offering

insights and intuition but only when

it's interesting enough and there's a

comment on my Android social media that

summed up all my points better than I

could basically your unconscious mind is

this Ultra powerful computer and your

Consciousness is like the keyboard

telling that computer what to do and

that's pretty much what's Happening Here

your goal is to give your unconscious

mind the task of helping you with

whatever you're trying to do you may

have to simplify your task you may have

to break it into smaller pieces But

ultimately you want your unconscious

mind to focus its power on your task and

the tricky bit is it's usually not

necessarily just try the task for some

people it is and we'll cover why very

soon but for most people you have to do

some extra work to get your unconscious

mind really invested in it and finally

now we'll talk about how you do that so

now the question becomes how do you

control your unconscious mind and give

it a task for it to focus all its power

on and the key is to get your

unconscious mind to care about something

and this will sound very dumb but to get

your unconscious mind to care about

something the only thing you have to do

is to care about that something but I

don't just mean caring I mean caring

like loving something so much that just

doing it brings you significant

Happiness by default or on the other end

of the spectrum caring so much that if

you fail at something you feel like

you're very survival is threatened you

feel genuinely afraid of failure and

these are things that your unconscious

mind can recognize happiness fear

survival very basic Primal fundamental

human nature emotions that results from

your caring your unconscious mind wants

to be happy if you get good at your task

or even just do your task you'll be

happy Therefore your unconscious mind

will focus on the task doing what you

love is one easy way to accomplish that

if you fail the task your survival will

be threatened your unconscious mind

doesn't want that so we'll focus on not

failing the task and nothing artificial

will work there's no inherent Primal

value in money or Prestige or success or

any of the things that motivate most

people your unconscious mind just

doesn't care and therefore I won't try

to help you so if that's what you're

working for you're gonna have to turn

these artificial motivators into Primal

emotions that your unconscious mind will

care about so let's get into exactly how

you do now let's start with an idea I've

dubbed the chain of motivation so let's

imagine a conversation with someone

who's studying computer science they'll

say I want to study computer science

I'll ask why they'll say something else

if their answer is that they love it

then they've already won over their

unconscious mind but they probably won't

say that so let's imagine what else they

can say for example they can want a good

job and I'll ask why and they can say so

they can earn a lot of money and I'll

ask why and this can again Branch you to

a bunch of different reasons let's

imagine a common scenario they would say

they want to support their family so I

can again Ask Why and maybe this is the

point where it becomes about happiness

or love or emotional connections or

whatever eventually it will reduce the

sum set of Primal emotions or nothing at

all and if it reduces to nothing then

you should seriously consider why are

you doing this at all what's the point

if there's no benefit are you really

just wasting your time if you don't get

anything out of your thing this method

won't help you but at the same time if

you don't get anything out of it the

thing might not be helping you at all so

really consider that but if it does lead

to some Primal emotions then your goal

should be to focus on those and let's

call these Primal emotions your are key

motivators things that your unconscious

mind recognizes and will focus on in the

ideal scenario you love what you're

doing and therefore your key motivators

are right next to you that means your

unconscious mind is by default focused

on those key motivators and therefore

also on the thing you're trying to do so

you win but if you're watching this

that's probably not the case your case

probably looks like more like the

hypothetical CS student so you want to

turn your case into the ideal case and

how do you do that well as an example

try to visualize yourself achieving your

goals for example having a lot of money

being able to buy nice things Etc it's

nice right probably brings you good

feelings just think about how happy

you'd be if things worked out for you

let that happiness bleed into the

present so what you ultimately want to

do is associate your task directly with

those good feelings skip the long chain

of because this is what I want this task

is how I get there nothing in between

burn that Association into your head

you've probably heard of pavlovian

conditioning by using a metronome to

Signal the arrival of food Pavlov got

dogs to salivate just by hearing the

metronome since ultimately they form the

associate station between the metronome

and the food that's ultimately your goal

here you want progress on this task for

example a success to directly associate

with happiness and your unconscious mind

will recognize this Association since it

has to do with the key motivator and on

the other end you can also try to get

failure to associate with negative

emotions and this is a risky game

because you can make yourself unhappy

but it will probably let you be even

more focused since your unconscious mind

will work on avoiding those negative

emotions so I promised you a habit

something you can do for only a few

minutes a day what can you do to make

this conditioning happen and the first

thing you have to do is figure yourself

out so on day one take some time out to

figure out how your motivation Works

have the why conversation with yourself

inspect your motivation chain like

literally draw out this diagram if you

need to understand what drives you

figure out what your key motivators are

and on the rest of the days you can work

on this conditioning you want to get rid

of the stuff in the middle so Embrace

Pavlov start doing your task and while

you're doing your task think about

whatever your key motivator is Imagine

success imagine yourself getting what

you want imagine happiness or imagine

failure and Dread if you don't succeed

in the task make yourself feel these

positive or negative emotions while

you're doing the task so that those

emotions get associated with the task

again nothing in between ignore the rest

of the motivations in the chain just

your task and the key motivator

condition yourself to recognize that

your task will directly lead to your key

motivator in a similar vein you can

reward or punish yourself for success

and failure doing that will give

yourself a direct short-term way of

feeling those emotions as a result of

your task and also visualize that reward

or punishment while doing the task so

you can associate those emotions with

progress and that's the Habit spend a

few minutes a day conditioning yourself

you don't need to do it for a long time

there are diminishing returns anyway you

can do it multiple times a day or as

often as you feel like and the more time

you put in the faster your unconscious

mind will recognize your goal but you

don't have to do it that often for it to

work just do it consistently and that's

all you really need to do convince your

unconscious mind to Care by associating

your task of Primal emotions that it

cares about mental change is achieved

through repetition so do this daily and

you'll see results fairly quickly just

as Pavlov did some other things to note

ego can be a very good key motivator so

let's do out an example what's my

motivation chain how does this work for

me so why do I do competitive

programming there are a lot of reasons

for one I love problem solving and I

also love coding so there's two good

things but there's another reason that

trumps both those and that's ego I did

this problem solving stuff ultimately

because I want to prove I'm smart so any

success is a decent ego boost and any

failure makes me feel basically

worthless so obviously my unconscious

mind has an incentive to contribute here

and I've sort of done this conditioning

automatically but I take any failure

very personally it hurts to fail like

physically it hurts I would say I'm that

guy that equates failure with

threatening my survival so my

unconscious mind is very invested in My

Success it's not exactly the healthiest

setup but it works very well and you

should take failure personally too for

example suppose you can't learn

something or you can't get good at

something or whatever how can you let

this minuscule task make a fool out of

you it should bother you that you can't

accomplish this I mean others probably

have you should take it personally take

it as a hit to Your Ego then your

unconscious mind will want to preserve

your ego so it'll help out a couple

other things get this conditioning set

up and make your task associated with

happiness but then don't waste it don't

like go out of your way to do easy tasks

to get quick dopamine hits you should

still do hard things do what you would

normally do and do the tasks normally

but just add in this conditioning every

once in a while don't try to game your

own system and create artificial

happiness because that's not productive

and won't get you anywhere and finally

one easy trap to fall into is feeling

entitled to success but don't no matter

what you still have to work for your

goals if you feel entitled you'll

naturally lose interest in the goal and

so your unconscious mind so block those

feelings out don't give them any space

in your mind stay focused on your task

and your goal okay to finish up not that

much to say like I said you can do this

for a few minutes at a time you can do

it multiple times a day probably for

better effect but you don't have to do

it for that long at a time and you

should do it for a while keep the

association strong and don't let it go

away this will make a world of

difference in your life so keep it up if

you happen to already be doing what you

love this won't help you because if you

love it your unconscious mind will love

it too but I suspect that's not the case

for the vast majority of people and

that's why this video exists to help

those with other forms of motivation

recognize that they need a more direct

connection for their unconscious mind to

get involved

uh what else this is a different style

of video or at least the title is I

realized that a large issue with my

recent videos has been originality so

I'm trying this out to present something

new for everyone and I hope it works but

we'll see and I suppose that's it so

that's all goodbye
