I often talk about finding the FUN in goal pursuit – to stick with health goals, choose workouts and veggies you actually like. But what about when goal pursuit is anything but fun? My latest research w/ @ayeletfishbach in @PsychScience has you covered

▼「不快に感じるのは目標達成に近づいている証拠」って考えが成長の近道になる https://t.co/eUAP235aov こう考えた学生は、難しいタスクに対して長時間集中力を発揮できていたそうです。目標達成の過程における不快感は「もうやめちゃえ」というサインではなく、順調に前に進んでいる証拠なのです。

Achieving personal growth often requires experiencing discomfort. What if instead of tolerating discomfort (e.g., feeling awkward or uncomfortable), people actively sought it out?
