Are your desires based off of your habits or are habits based off of desiresCan you form a life you want to live based on the belief that acting in a certain way will make you desire a certain thingI ask these two questions because I feel myself having less desire to do things I currently enjoyed even though I’d know I’d still enjoy themBut if the desire isn’t there is it better to wait for it to return or can you shape the sort of person you want to become based solely off actionsLike imagining who you want to be and how that version of you would act then doing that with no desire as motivationOr is it more important to just ban certain habits and behaviors that skill prevent you from acting in a certain way / keep you too paralyzed to take action in any sort of project hobby or interest i.e. doomscrollingI have these cycles where I don’t wanna do things anymore then I return to my hobbies and I’d like it to stop and reach a state of homeostasis I have wasted so much time of my life just not doing things recently (or sometimes finding new niche interests which is fine) but I know that the “me” I want to become and be would be doing the things I used to enjoyIs this a mind problem or a heart problem
Habits can be two types, one that benefits and one that waste your time, its yours to decide but I still recommend doing the good as its beneficial for the mind and body despite it being boring and its better then doing nothing. Balance is key, just like exercising 6 days a week, a day is a rest day but sometimes when the mind is actually tired just take a few days off and then return to the good habit. Pondering of the future you or reminecipsing the past is a waste of time, focus whats now and become the change you inspire to become. Yawn*
>>34273794The mind follows the the heart, at all times. When people reverse this they become mentally ill. Usually it's people who identify with their thoughts, the type of people who have inner monologues and genuinely think that they exist in their own head like some ghost in a machine. The mind is not who you are, just a spokesperson for who you really are, the heart. The mind is a speaker for the heart, like a stereo system for music. >based on the belief that acting in a certain way will make you desire a certain thingNo. You will develop cognitive dissonance instead. Because your heart will not follow your mind, at best you just split yourself into two and you force your mind to shut off communicating with your feelings. When you do that, eventually you begin to fight with yourself and become miserable. >Is this a mind problem or a heart problem But if both but the best way to solve it is from the heart angle. It's not a complicated matter, there's no need to overthink it. The answer is simply make sure that your heart and mind are aligned at all times, the two are as one. That means they must cooperate with each other, never fight with each other. Some times life throws you tests and problems and tragedies where you have to decide there and then which to follow: mind or heart. Always do both, never pick one over the other. If you need to lead with the mind first then heart later, that's OK. If you need to lead with the heart first and the mind later, that's also OK. But never pick one and exclude the other entirely. Always be sure to use both in any life situation.
>>34273794You need to take breaks. Waste products accumulate in the brain and can affect how you feel, etc. A maximum of 10 minutes is sufficient; being tired is not a sign that you need to rest.
