Welcome to another enlightening episode where we dive deep into a phenomenon we've all felt but rarely understood - the event high. Picture this: you're at a grand event, soaking in every word, feeling on top of the world. But a week later, that blazing fire within reduces to mere ashes. Why? Today, we're unraveling the mysteries of our brain, exploring why we lose that motivation and how to make it last. I felt compelled to share this episode because understanding this can be a game-changer in our personal and professional lives. Let's dive in! Key Takeaways: The power of events and the unique energy they bring. The neuroscience behind the event high: Understanding dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. The alarming rate at which we forget what we learn. The AARC Blueprint for lasting transformation: Awareness, Action, Repetition, and Community. The importance of community in our transformation journey. Step-by-Step Process to Ensure Lasting Change: Awareness: Recognize the event high for what it is - a spark. Action: Implement one thing you've learned immediately. Repetition: Practice daily to reinforce new learnings. Community: Engage with like-minded individuals for collective growth. Notable Quotes: "It's not about the spark. It's about the consistent flame that follows." "True transformation is a marathon, not a sprint." "One is not a big enough number for success."
