How do i improve my discipline and focus

To enhance discipline and focus, Andrew Huberman suggests various methods:

1. Understand that focus, similar to physical exercise, requires a "warm-up" period to increase epinephrine, adrenaline, acetylcholine, and dopamine 1.
2. Utilize deliberate cold exposure, such as cold showers, to boost adrenaline levels, narrowing your focus on cognitive or physical tasks 2.
3. Practice overt visual focus on a specific location to help direct cognitive focus. Covert focus, where the gaze is directed at one point while attention is elsewhere, can also be beneficial 3.

4. Engage in a 13-minute daily meditation focusing on nasal breathing and a point just behind the forehead to enhance concentration and induce neuroplasticity 4.
5. Use auditory tools like 40 Hz binaural beats or various types of noise (white, pink, or brown) during periods of focus 1.
6. Implement visual-based tools, like focusing on a location for a set time, to improve the ability to sustain and refocus attention 5.
7. Compound Alpha-GPC can be taken to increase acetylcholine transmission, which plays a role in focus and neuroplasticity. However, consider associated risks and perhaps take garlic capsules as well 6.
8. Recognize that continually refocusing during meditation practices from a state of non-focus hones the brain's focus circuits 7.

By incorporating these habits and tools, you can improve neural activity for focus and discipline, leveraging the brain’s capacity for neuroplasticity. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regime.
