You also need to be able to dream. Recommendations of American scientists based on research results.
A dream can bring us closer to the goal … or maybe not closer: when we imagine that it has been achieved, our brain “turns on” the relaxation mode – blood pressure decreases, the pulse slows down, breathing evens out … And then we are unlikely to do anything in order to achieve what you set out to do. “It will be more useful to dream realistically,” advises American psychologist Gabriele Oettingen (Gabriele Oettingen). “That is, to imagine the stages of progress towards the goal, and first of all those that depend on ourselves.”
