Extend your Tolerance Control:




























                    When a task is easy (in our comfort zone), our brain thinks: ‘Yeah, you can do

















                    it!’ and releases dopamine, one of the Feel Good Chemicals, into our body.




























                  The nice feeling dopamine gives makes us want to do it even more


















                  (which is why dopamine is called the motivator).






















                  Even thinking about doing a task we feel good at (like cooking for


















                  you) can release dopamine into our system.

                        The trick is to train our brain to tolerate that unpleasant


















                        feeling for longer and longer each time so in the end

















                        we  get great at finishing even long, boring tasks or noisy


















                        places.
