Motivation: Pain vs. Pleasure
from Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova Hosted by silvia turon
Each of us is motivated by either pain or pleasure. We use them interchangeably but one of them often predominates. For most of my life, I thought that it doesn't matter which one of those motivates me more as long as I am motivated and driven. As I discovered later on, there is a difference in whether we are motivated by pain or pleasure. It shows in our emotional state, as well as a willingness to go beyond limits. To understand what motivates you in life, ask yourself: "Am I being motivated by running away from something that causes pain or am I being motivated by running towards something that brings pleasure?" In today's podcast episode, I am going to teach you how to use both effectively. Tune in and learn: - how understanding your pains leads to healing - how to use the pain to your advantage - the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs and its effect on your motivation - why being motivated by pleasure should be your primary source of motivation
