You know those things you know you should do but you just don't want to? Exercise, eating more fiber, filing your taxes, making a dental appointment... ugh. In this episode, I teach you how to enjoy those things more, or at least make them less painful, through working with your hedonic tone.

Hedonic tone is how we feel about something in a very fundamental way - negative, positive, or neutral. Our brains evolved to keep us safe from danger - negative hedonic tone - and to seek out pleasant things, like rest and food - positive hedonic tone. Unfortunately for us, what was beneficial to our ancestors may not be helpful for us today.

The simplest way to elevate hedonic tone is to find some small thing that you enjoy about the task and amplify that. Learn some practical skills and tips for how to do that and start improving your life today.
