Quote:
Sometimes, the motivation is more painful...like when there is a bill to pay that is just no fun at all, but at least if feels good when it's been done.
So when there is no fun involved, at least I can focus on the good feeling that I know is on the other side of the task.
"motivation is more painful"
The pain associated with reorganizing your brain to break old habits, learn new IRs. Motivation happens after you've spend enough energy that the new IRs are installed.

"if feels good when it's been done"
It was able to be done because the IRs were created. Pleasure is also created when IRs are formed. It is a balance between energy spent causes pain, and the IRs being created causes pleasure. If a higher order IRs are reinforced then more pleasure is created. If there is a totally new experience that occurs then low order IRs needs to be created and there are many more lower oder IRs to be created because it is on the deep end of the hierarchy, and so lots of energy is expended and is very tough and painful to do. But then the subconscious has been trained and so behavior/action becomes automatic after that.

"So when there is no fun involved"
No fun involved because the IRs that need to be created have not been created yet. Fun = using those IRs that have already been created.

"at least I can focus on the good feeling "
The hope. Focusing on the hope. Keeping herself high concious so she can ease the transition of creating the new IRs needed. Delayed gratification.
