Welcome to this week's new series! This 7-day series is designed not just to teach meditation, but to make it an automatic, non-negotiable part of your daily routine using the science of Habit Stacking. The entire practice centers on the formula: "After [Current Habit], I will [New Habit]." Invite a friend to join you during this week's series!

WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES: Beyond Motivation: The Science of Automatic Discipline

When you start meditating, your Pre-Frontal Cortex (PFC)—the center of logic, planning, and willpower—is working hard. This is exhausting.

The goal of this 7-day series is to transfer the meditation practice from the energy-intensive PFC to the Basal Ganglia, the brain structure dedicated to automatic habits and procedural memory. This is the part of the brain that knows how to tie your shoes or drive a car without conscious thought.

The techniques used this week—the physical Mudra cue, the rhythmic Breathing, and the simple Affirmation—are all designed to speak the language of the Basal Ganglia: simple, repeatable, and cued by the environment.

This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Beyond Motivation: The Science of Automatic Discipline," episodes 3395-3401.

YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The Zero Willpower Quest
