Two emotions control your entire life.
Understanding their effect over your life, gives you the chance to control your psychology instead of allowing your psychology to control you.
The emotions are... Pleasure and Pain!
Here are three elements of how they operate in the mind:
1. Pleasure and pain are PERCEIVED… Perceptions can be changed.
2. The evaluation system involves - Past, Present, and Future.
Stated in a math equation: The memory of past experience + Feeling of present satisfaction + Belief of future effects = (higher pain or higher pleasure outcome) = decision.
3. Pain is a more powerful motivator in the short term than pleasure, but pain motivation can bring negative side effects when used over sustained periods.
Tune in for a few tools, to learn about how to leverage the decision-making system in your mind.
