Reframe The Way You Think About Pain

Published: May 14, 2021, 8 a.m.

A shift in mindset as to what you consider pleasurable can have a powerful impact on your life. You can reframe pleasure as an aftereffect of triumph over temptations and other acts of self-discipline. You can expand your definition of pleasure to include long-term fulfillment and satisfaction that comes as a result of hard work, discipline, and delayed gratification. You can seek pleasure and meaning, rather than mindless pleasure on its own. While a hedonist’s philosophy involves seeing suffering as evil and considering pain as something you must avoid at all costs, what will help sharpen your self-discipline is to instead reframe your view of pain as a requisite to the achievement of worthwhile goals. You can expand your definition of suffering to include those necessary to go through on the road to meaningful ends. Questions or comments regarding the podcast?
