• You can decide what gives you pain and pleasure

• Outside of physical pain and pleasure, it is up to you

• You can tell yourself you experience pleasure when you eat pizza or when you eat a salad

• You can tell yourself hanging out with a crowd is painful or your favorite activity

• We are lucky to live in a world where so much of our pain and pleasure is actually a product of our own thinking

• It gives us so much power to affect and change our lives

• You can choose to be happy or satisfied with what you do

• You can also decide to associate pain with activities you wish to do less of causing yourself to subconsciously do them less

• Its a very beneficial connection

• Lately I’ve told myself that what makes me happy is eating healthy and exercising. I want to eat salads and I want to go to the gym everyday. This was a conscious decision I made and now I don’t subconsciously reach for the dessert as often

• We decide what gives us pain and pleasure

• What will you decide?
