How Pavlov & His Dogs Saved My Life
Breaking Bad Habits With Neuro-Associative Conditioning
Pictured: Fritz Johnson (Circa 2017)
My addiction to video games was quite nearly the death of me. I played for hours & hours every single day, and they totally destroyed my quality of life.
I hated myself for letting things get so bad and wasting so much of my time - but quitting them felt completely hopeless!
I could never seem to muster the willpower to kick that miserable habit. It wasn’t until I radically changed my approach towards “willpower” & personal growth that I found a way out.
Oddly enough, it was Ivan Pavlov’s famous study of classical conditioning (yes, the guy with the dogs) that changed how I thought about how I make choices - and the changes I made clearly saved my life from an untimely end.
In this post, we’re going to talk about how I stumbled upon a technique that Tony Robbins calls “Neuro-Associative Conditioning” and how it allows me to re-wire my brain to obey my intentions and desires.
Finally? We’ll cover how you can use these techniques, too.
