http://mindpersuasion.com/ Most people are motivated to move away from pain, but this doesn't lead to a very fulfilling life. Instead, chase pleasure, and you'll always have a bright future. Learn More: http://mindpersuasion.com/kundalini/

1. Flip Your Script

2. There's a theory in NLP called "meta
programs."

3. It basically describes a collection of
filters that we carry around with us, to
make it easier, quicker and less
tiresome on our poor brains to make
sense of the world.

4. Scientists have known for a while that
our brains take many shortcuts in
thinking to save on energy.

5. Most people are surprised to find out
that up to 25% of the calories you burn
in any single day are from your brain.

6. Which is why you feel so tired after
studying or thinking or worrying.

7. So long ago, Mother Nature decided
that shortcuts in thinking would be a
good thing, all else considered.

8. Which is the theory behind these
"meta programs."

9. They're not quite set in stone,
meaning you can change them, but
they do take a while to change on their
own.

10. One of the most well know is whether
a person is motivated by pain, or
pleasure.

11. If you're motivated by pain, then you
only get motivated when there's a
clear and present danger.

12. If the danger goes away, so does the
motivation.

13. This is what leads plenty of us to look
in the mirror, get disgusted with our
bodies, and then vow to change our
physical shape.

14. Only when the pain of looking at our
flabby belly passes by, we lose the
motivation.

15. Same goes with making money.

16. When you're close to the end of you're
rope, you'll do anything for a buck.

17. But once you've got enough to pay the
rent, the bills, and a little extra in the
bank, that motivation fades.

18. On other hand, you could be
motivated by pleasure, rather than
pain.

19. Meaning if you've got a goal, and the
closer you get to it, the more
motivation you feel.

20. I'm sure you won't be surprised to find
that most people are motivated by
pain, and not pleasure.

21. This is why almost all advertisements
rely on building up pain, then
promising to take it away, so long as
you buy the product.

22. Then as soon as you buy the product,
the pain is gone. Until you see another
advertisement.

23. Then the whole process repeats itself.

24. I don't know about you, but making
pain avoidance your main strategy
doesn't seem like a great way to live
life.

25. If you are totally successful, all you'll
do is avoid pain.

26. If you're in pain, getting rid of it IS the
most important thing.

27. But once the pain goes away, there's
not much else.

28. Like I said, this can be changed.

29. It takes time, and effort, but it is worth
it.

30. Instead of running away from things,
you can train your mind-body system
to run toward things.

31. Things you want.

32. Things that inspire you. Things that
empower you.

33. Your higher self.

34. You may say that becoming a fully
enlightened human is learning to stop
focusing on what you're moving away
from, and start focusing on where
you're going.
