Episode 49: Outsmarting the Human Brain

In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson explores what’s going on when someone claims to want something but then takes no action to get the desired outcome. This is almost always because the pain of taking new action is greater than the pain of the status quo. In this episode I uncover some of the most basic aspects of human motivation and share ideas on what to do to outsmart your brain if you are not taking action on something you really do desire. There are some easy techniques to reframe the situation so your brain is seeking pleasure rather than avoiding pain.
