"Because I want to" or "because I don't want to" should be considered a legitimate reason, not something to be offended by.

When I started seeing the gym as “I love how my body feels moving and I love getting stronger” not only did I enjoy the gym for once, but my body FINALLY started changing, like mind blowing difference. Been doing this with evvverything and not only is everything easier but things are fun, even work!!! Like omg?! This is SO REAL.

not delayed dopamine. decoupled reward. when everything is means-to-end your body stops registering the present. doing things for no reason puts you back in your body.

It’s good to be an authentic human, instead of an over-optimized machine.

The best thing about being depressed in Mexico was when I walked out it felt like being bellE from beauty and the beast walking in her town, enjoying all the smiles and greetings while at home on a big low I could come out and work on focusing on the random things I was exposed to that would make me feel like I was a teenage kid enjoying an afternoon exploring the town with other kids family that is

I completely understand and agree with you but from my point of view i consider everything as a task so that i could get surprised by my goal, the reason of it is because i might not be able to achieve that goal but i will do my best every day that i will do those tasks so that i could get a surprise from myself (at least).
