Okay.

So the brain evolved in environments where survival mattered more than achievements.

So your nervous system is still kind of carrying those priorities.

So today we see the discomfort of waking up early, the effort associated with consistently exercising or tracking food intake, the embarrassment of being a beginner, the soreness from exercise, the possibility of failure, just having to do these things when we are exhausted.

And all of those things are registering to your brain as something that it wants to actively avoid because it's painful, it's discomfort, right?

So this is how the brain kind of evaluates these decisions.

When you're facing a workout, obviously the reward is better health, more confidence, weight loss, better energy, longevity, all these things, right?

But these rewards are weeks or months or years away.

So what your brain is actually registering and weighing the cost of is, yeah, those sound nice.

Those rewards are great and they're very real.

But the pain is right now.

The pain I have to go through is getting dressed, taking the effort to drive to the gym, feeling exhausted, the physical effort of actually going through the workout when you don't feel like it.

Right.

So that pain is immediate versus the reward is very much delayed.

So the brain tends to give a little bit more weight to those immediate experiences.

So that's why Netflix oftentimes beats out going to an evening workout or the couch beats out going for a run or scrolling beats out, you know,

actually taking time to meal prep, doing these things that are essential if we want to get to the goals.

But in the moment, it's a lot easier to just go back to what is comfortable and not just because comfort feels amazing, but because discomfort feels urgent to avoid.

This is how our brains work.

Okay.
