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 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 so we get great at
finishing even long, boring tasks.
We call this great at being in the GROWTH ZONE.
