  • Summary

  • In this lesson you'll learn the skill of managing discomfort in order to complete difficult tasks.

    Key ideas:

    1️⃣ Many people experience flashes of discomfort when approaching a task, leading to procrastination as a coping mechanism.

    2️⃣ Breaking the cycle of procrastination requires accepting and understanding discomfort, rather than avoiding it. Our minds are naturally prone to wandering, often resulting in negative thoughts. Focusing on the present moment is an antidote to unproductive mind wandering.

    3️⃣ Riding the Wave Technique - Discomfort is temporary and often fades if given attention. Recognizing and observing moments of discomfort strengthens our ability to tolerate such feelings.

    4️⃣ Grounding Technique - Helps divert attention from negative thoughts by focusing on one of the five senses. Touch and sound are practical senses to concentrate on for immediate grounding.
