In this episode:

• Navigating the negative side of a goal

• Pain avoidance vs pleasure driven

• Using problems to motivate us to take action

• Choosing one challenge over another

Any goal or thing in life that we pursue, does have a negative side to it. Some people are motivated by pleasure and how good it COULD be, while others are more motivated by pain avoidance or how bad will it be if it doesn’t work out. Today I wanted to take a different direction with that pain avoidance mindset & talk about problems and challenges and how we can actually pick our problems or challenges to motivate us to take action. I really think this little trick is going to be really helpful for you and I am so excited to hear what you think!

 

Quotes:

“No matter what you're pushing towards, there are problems associated with anything.”

“More money, different problems. If you make more money you’re gonna have to navigate your thoughts about making more money.”

“Choosing the problems that you want over those alternative problems or challenges.”

“I bet you, its gonna feel really freaking good if you start celebrating and identifying that you chose the problems that you have and it’s worth it in the end.”
