Eg person says the want to quit smoking..they procrastinate

because the pain is too great..they can’t stand a week or two of suffering to live smoke free.

People say they want to go to the gym…the put it off because the pain of exercising is too great. Its easier and less painful

to NOT exercise!!

Same with just about anything else. The short term pleasure of not fixing the roof, or studying, or preparing the client file is much more rewarding than enduring the pain of doing it!!

Same with asking out a girl, or telling someone who you’ve secretly been in love with for years how you feel. Its much less painful to NOT go and do these things, so the person is content to NOT do them.

Of course, the long term PAIN of not taking action NOW, is much greater!!
