for you instead of against you this is
00:00:39
the Lotus method and it's your ticket to
00:00:42
transformation let's
00:00:45
begin the Lotus method is a five-step
00:00:48

00:00:52
avoiding them each step uses simple
00:00:54
psychology and behavioral hacks to make
00:00:56
even the most overwhelming tasks feel
00:00:58
manageable here's what Lotus stands for
00:01:01
L layered breakdowns o overcome
00:01:03
resistance early T trigger reward U
00:01:06
unleash visualization s set micro
00:01:09
challenges let's break these down step
00:01:11
by
00:01:14
step imagine standing at the base of
00:01:17
Mount Everest your neck craning upward
00:01:19
until the peak vanishes into clouds that
00:01:21
overwhelming feeling that's exactly why
00:01:23
we avoid hard things they feel
00:01:25
impossibly big but here's a secret even
00:01:27
Everest can be conquered one step at a
00:01:29
time time think of any massive goal like
00:01:31
peeling an onion you don't tackle it
00:01:33
whole you peel it layer by layer each
00:01:36
one revealing a manageable piece of the
00:01:38
challenge beneath take writing a book
00:01:40
for instance don't paralyze yourself
00:01:42
with thoughts of I need to write 300
00:01:44
pages instead whisper to yourself today
00:01:47
I'll write one sentence that's it just
00:01:49
one sentence when you complete that Tiny
00:01:51
Win your brain releases a burst of
00:01:54
dopamine that delicious feeling of
00:01:56
accomplishment that makes you Hunger for
00:01:57
More suddenly you might find yourself
00:01:59
thinking well maybe just one more
00:02:01
sentence this isn't just clever
00:02:03
psychology it's your brain's natural
00:02:05
reward system working for you instead of
00:02:07
against you each small victory builds
00:02:09
momentum for the next turning what
00:02:11
seemed like an impossible Mountain into
00:02:13
a series of manageable
00:02:18
steps ever noticed how a car engine
00:02:20
sputters on a freezing morning that
00:02:23
first turn of the key is always the
00:02:25
hardest your brain works the same way
00:02:27
with tough tasks it fights against that
00:02:30
initial start with everything it's got
00:02:31
but here's the beautiful trick you can
00:02:33
completely bypass this resistance by
00:02:35
making your first step so tiny it seems
00:02:38
almost silly say you're dreading that
00:02:40
5em run don't think about the Miles
00:02:42
Ahead just tell yourself I'll put on my
00:02:44
running shoes that's it one simple shoe
00:02:47
because here's what's fascinating your
00:02:48
brain has this quirky feature called the
00:02:51
zynic effect once you start something
00:02:53
your mind gets weirdly antsy about
00:02:54
leaving it unfinished that single shoe
00:02:57
becomes a mental Splinter gently nudging
00:02:59
you toward W The Next Step before you
00:03:01
know it you're thinking well I've got
00:03:03
one shoe on might as well put on the
00:03:05
other and just like that resistance
00:03:07
crumbles into
00:03:10
momentum think about a video game each
00:03:13
level up comes with that satisfying ding
00:03:16
a tiny burst of pure joy why are games
00:03:19
so addictive because they nail what our
00:03:22
brains crave instant rewards now imagine
00:03:25
hacking that same system for your tough
00:03:27
tasks here's the secret don't wait for
00:03:29
the big wind to to celebrate your brain
00:03:30
doesn't care about someday it wants the
00:03:33
good stuff now so create your own reward
00:03:35
system small task small treat big task
00:03:39
bigger treat just finish 10 minutes of
00:03:40
deep work grab that chocolate you've
00:03:42
been eyeing knocked out three emails
00:03:44
time for a quick scroll through your
00:03:46
favorite social fee it seems simple but
00:03:48
you're actually playing a sophisticated
00:03:50
game with your brain's chemistry soon
00:03:52
enough your mind starts connecting the
00:03:54
dots tough task equals instant pleasure
00:03:57
and just like that what used to feel
00:03:59
like torture starts feeling more like a
00:04:01
treasure
00:04:04
hunt picture a movie trailer in your
00:04:06
mind most people only play the final
00:04:08
scene the glory moment the Victory lap
00:04:11
the standing ovation but here's the plot
00:04:13
twist your brain needs the whole story
00:04:15
not just the ending think of Olympic
00:04:17
athletes before they step onto that
00:04:19
track they've already run the race
00:04:20
thousands of times in their minds not
00:04:23
just breaking the tape at the Finish
00:04:24
Line they've mentally felt every
00:04:26
footfall heard every breath and pushed
00:04:29
through through every moment of Doubt
00:04:31
here's how to make this work for you
00:04:33
want to nail that presentation don't
00:04:34
just imagine the Applause run the full
00:04:36
mental movie feel your hand clicking
00:04:38
open that laptop see yourself typing
00:04:40
that first slide hear your voice
00:04:42
delivering that opening line with
00:04:44
confidence your brain can't tell the
00:04:45
difference between vivid imagination and
00:04:47
reality it's literally rehearsing for
00:04:50
success by the time you actually sit
00:04:52
down to work your mind Whispers hey
00:04:54
we've been here before we know how this
00:04:56
goes suddenly taking action feels less
00:04:58
like stepping into the unknown and more
00:05:00
like following a path you've already
00:05:04
walked ever notice how time flies when
00:05:07
you're playing Beat the Clock there's
00:05:08
something almost magical about racing
00:05:10
against that ticking timer suddenly even
00:05:13
boring tasks feel like an Olympic sport
00:05:16
here's the genius move turn your task
00:05:18
into a series of mini gamess your brain
00:05:21
loves a good challenge especially when
00:05:23
it thinks it can win it's like taking a
00:05:25
huge boss battle and breaking it into
00:05:27
exciting quickfire rounds got a room
00:05:29
that looks like a tornado hit it don't
00:05:31
think clean the mess instead hit to
00:05:33
start on a 5-minute timer and think how
00:05:35
many things can I put away before the
00:05:36
buzzer writing a report challenge
00:05:38
yourself 500 words in 20 minutes Ready
00:05:40
set go suddenly that mountain of work
00:05:42
feels more like a game show and you're

the star contestant the best part win or
00:05:46
lose each round resets the game didn't
00:05:49

craving for more progress over time this
00:06:17
trains your brain to associate hard
00:06:19
tasks with positive feelings two it

00:06:28
completed step makes the next one feel
00:06:30
easier creating a powerful chain
00:06:32
reaction of progress three it eliminates
00:06:34
fear of failure when you focus on micro
00:06:37

allowing you to move forward without
00:06:46
hesitation this approach mirrors the
00:06:48
habits of top performers breaking down
00:06:50
massive challenges into tiny deliberate
00:06:53
actions until even the impossible
00:06:55
becomes achievable now that you know the
00:06:57
Lotus method it's time to put it into
00:06:59
action think of one hard thing you've
00:07:01
been avoiding break it down start with
00:07:03
the smallest step and reward yourself
00:07:06
along the way remember success isn't
00:07:08
about massive leaps it's about
00:07:10
consistent small steps the Lotus method
00:07:12
is your key to unlocking that
00:07:14
consistency common traps and how to
00:07:16
avoid them even with the power of the
00:07:18
lotus method it's easy to fall into some
00:07:20
common traps that sabotage progress
00:07:23
let's talk about them and how to avoid
00:07:25
them trap one over complicating the plan
00:07:28
you might get caught up in breaking
00:07:29
things things down so much that you lose
00:07:31
momentum remember Simplicity is key if
00:07:33
your steps feel overwhelming simplify
00:07:35
even further ask yourself what's the
00:07:37
smallest action I can take right now for
00:07:40
example instead of organize my entire
00:07:42
desk start with pick up one pen start
00:07:45
small and build up trap two waiting for
00:07:47
motivation motivation is unreliable it
00:07:50
comes and goes the Lotus method works
00:07:52
because it bypasses the need for
00:07:54
motivation your brain doesn't need to
00:07:56
feel ready to put on one shoe or write
00:07:58
one sentence lean on the framework not
00:08:00
your feelings trap three forgetting the
00:08:03
rewards if you skip celebrating your
00:08:05
small wins you miss out on the dopamine
00:08:08
boost that drives momentum make sure
00:08:10
every step no matter how small has a
00:08:12
reward attached it could be as simple as
00:08:14
taking a sip of your favorite drink
00:08:16
after completing a microtask trap four
00:08:18
comparing yourself to others your
00:08:20
journey is unique and comparing your
00:08:22
progress to someone else is is a
00:08:24
Surefire way to feel discouraged Focus
00:08:26
only on your next step the only
00:08:28
competition is who you were yesterday
00:08:30
trap five giving up too soon the biggest
00:08:32
breakthroughs often happen right after
00:08:34
you feel like quitting when the
00:08:36
resistance feels strongest remind
00:08:38
yourself why you started visualize your
00:08:40
end goal and tell yourself one more step
00:08:43
just one more you're closer than you
00:08:45
think by staying mindful of these traps
00:08:47
and using the Lotus method to counteract
00:08:49
them you'll keep moving forward even
00:08:52
