1. Extend your Tolerance Control:

When a task is easy (in our comfort zone), it feels comfortable because 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.

When a task is difficult or boring, stress chemicals

are released into our body. It can give us an

unpleasant feeling.

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.

We call this great at being in the GROWTH ZONE!
