[QUOTE="bell, post: 40104, member: 354"] You're probably more consistent than me then. I recently got into the mind of teasing out those habits, "workshopping productivity" and so forth. I only recently started going to the gym again. Before, I would begin to unravel if I was pushing myself too hard, thinking that I'd end up crashing out in the future. I figure now that I can't project the present onto any expected outcomes later on, if that makes sense. "I will act today according to how I wish to act in the future." Since I'd never imagined myself having a future, I was in pursuit of a future that would never come, as if I were taking all the steps necessary without any justification as to what I'd achieve through them. If I work toward small victories in the present, that's good enough for me. I just need to tough it out and have faith that my future self won't give up so easily. [/QUOTE]
