You may want to do things in life like exercise, eat healthy, do hard work, etc. When trying to do these things, one may invoke the logical mind and say to themselves ‘I should do this because ___.’ Remember this: When there is a should, there is almost always a but. I should go for a run.... but I'm too tired. I should eat this salad... but I want pizza. I should study for my test... but I want to play games instead. We have this idea that if something makes logical sense, we should do it, and if it doesn't, we should not. We know a lot of the things we SHOULD do. If you are able to do everything you should logically do, then you are quite a blessed individual. If others had that same drive, surely everything that should be and could be done, done would happen. Why don't we do things we should do? Logic can be good for knowing what path to take, but is a horrible motivator. We make our decisions mostly based on how we feel doing it. Your mind is not trying to sabotage you, it’s trying to protect and help you. The mind may tell you ‘Why go for a run? That will make you tired. Conserve energy instead.’ It’s trying to be efficient and protect you from pain. We evolved to survive in times of scarcity. In times when wasting energy and being inefficient would kill you. Think of something you should do, like going for a run. How do you feel? Many people will feel tired just from the thought of it. Isn’t that interesting?? You didn’t even do anything, you’re just thinking. Then, why do you feel physically tired? Tiredness is a signal the body and mind send you to stop you from doing something. Energy is the signal your body and mind send you when it wants you to do something. When your mind is used to being in scarcity, it’s no wonder you feel tired when thinking of things you don’t want to do. ‘Pizza or salad? I choose pizza. Salad doesn’t taste good and itd be too effortful to eat it. Pizza tastes good and it is easy to eat.’ ‘Go for a run or play video games? I choose to play video games because running is hard and effortful and playing games is easy and fun.’
