I guess, I can see what you are trying to say. I don't disagree with what you are saying. But It doesn't work for me specifically.
All my "achievements"(any that I value) have only been through blood and sweat, and that is partly one of the reasons I dread beginning something new - It will be that difficult all over again.
What I assume to be equal amounts of effort as anyone else, never usually results in the same outcomes. I spent a year to learn a language, and I am still A1. Now, A1 isn't bad, but I really wanted to have learnt at least B1 by now. I know others who have done that.
I find it hard to find motivation day in and day out to do things everyday. I want to paste the Vaas meme here. I am enjoying the little things, but there is such existential anxiety that makes it difficult to enjoy even those.
So I can't just like the process as it is either.
I am not sure, but I guess I have to change what my "process" is.
I appreciate you trying to help me. Thanks.
I do understand this basic crux of tackling any problem. Unfortunately, it is just difficult to execute and implement these things in real life without burning out.
I have mood disregulation and dopamine issues which make it a lot more difficult to follow through. While I work on that I wanted to also feel good about myself without letting it tie to how others perceive me. ( In terms of success ).
