> we suggest that seeking discomfort as a signal of growth can increase motivation
Can someone help me understand this please? With an example? I haven't read the paper, just the abstract. I can barely understand the abstract, I am not going to understand the paper.
Per the paper, does the "discomfort" need to be in the same arena as that of the "motivation" one wants?
E.g.: If I want to learn a new language, does the discomfort need to relate to the language, or is it enough to do something like taking cold showers?
(FWIW, I have a strong suspicion that most Psych papers, including this one, have inadequate evidence. But I still like to understand what they're claiming.)
