    You are assuming that I can’t decide to do option 1, when i am just sitting there fully aware of needing to do it and just frozen emotionally by the idea of doing something that could be difficult.(even if it could be easy)

      Exactly: do the task, feel either nothing or like a fraud depending on if it meets your self-imposed ludicrous standard.

        Or find all the flaws after the fact, and feel bad for not doing a perfect job.

      I don’t think that’s really a thing. It’s just a ruse to try to convince you to do more stuff.

      It’s like that “you feel great after running for an hour”. Well I ran every other day for six months, I never felt anything other than sore and sweaty. It’s all lies.

        Did you properly stretch, warm up, cool down, and stretch again? If you’re still sore after 6 months, either your form is off or you have a medical issue. Can’t help you on the sweaty thing. That’s why I prefer to swim/surf

          I was more tired than sore, to be honest. The main point is that I never got to a point where I felt good about running. It was always a chore. After a while I gave up on it because I just hated it.

          Nowadays I just walk because at least I can take in the scenery, stop to look at stuff, look at birds, take pictures and whatever.
