Use dissatisfaction and discomfort to get motivated
\u201cDissatisfaction and discomfort dominate our brain\u2019s default state, but we can use them to motivate us instead of defeat us.\u201d
That\u2019s the very challenge, though, isn\u2019t it? We can choose to make this default state of our brain\u2019s into something motivating. Step one is a mindset shift, which tends to be a process, and is a skill that can be developed. The second part of choosing is simply to understand our brains and feelings. If we expect nothing less than dissatisfaction and discomfort, we can learn when and how to identify the experience and figure out our own methods and approaches for keeping focused and motivated anyway.
This podcast focuses on self-exploration and personal identity -- to help you construct who you are, and how you want to feel, think, believe, and behave for yourself. Check out our gratitude challenge for the month of November at bigselfschool.com/gratitude.
