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.
YES!
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.
the example i am currently working on is my e-trike. i bought it simply thinking i would finally be able to get around town without relying on people for rides, and the change in my overall health and general outlook has been dramatic (well, dramatic for me. i'm a drama queen).
