Jordan Peterson
We were reading maps of meaning in which Jordan describes how to influence motivation.
Desire
So you pick a goal with your imagination with all the things you want.
Uncomfortable
Realize that the place you're in right now is NOT where you want to be.
Science
This experiment was tested on rats, where rats were puts in a movable cage.
On the front was food what they desired (cheese) 🧀
Depending on how hard the rat was pushing the cage you could measure his motivation.
Psychology
Later they added a cats 🐈 smell into the cage and the results of the rats doubled down
Which is incredible what fear can do to your mind and body. Together with the survival instinct which is integrated into the amygdala together with the hippocampus.
In theory, you could use this to put yourself in an uncomfortable position to get better results.
