Unlock your innate power
Pain-Pleasure Principle
Pain and pleasure are inseparable—the key is choosing which to face first. Choose short-term discomfort, like a tough workout, and gain lasting rewards. Opt for fleeting pleasure, and pain often follows as regret. The choice is yours—what serves your future self best?
INSTANT GRATIFICATION
INSTANT GRATIFICATION
Are you more interested in eating a Snickers bar than working on getting a 6 pack?
Makes total sense.
The Snicker gives you pleasure right here and now vs building a great body which takes time and effort and will only be enjoyed in the future.
Don't be too harsh on yourself if you have a tendency to go for the Snickers bar, it's the basic instinct to put a higher value on instant rather than delayed gratification.
However, there are tricks that you can do to bring the gratification forward which will light up the dopamine centre in your brain to reinforce a positive connection between the desired behaviour and the reward.
