If you start intentionally working in these positive actions that provide tiny incremental improvements, before you know it you may be feeling more than incrementally better.
some of those positive actions and changes can be really fun, too. sometimes it’s hard to tell whether you’re going to enjoy something before you dive into it, especially when the brain is in misery mode.
It is not always easy to judge how much an activity will benefit you going by how much you want to do it beforehand. It is not always as simple as exercising and eating your vegetables either. Shit’s complex.
I describe it like each of our brains has a long, detailed, and customized user manual – but we don’t get a copy. We can choose to attempt to reverse engineer that manual if we have the right motivation.
