Having an interest or being interested is a motivator. And "interest" is also essential to a Mindfulness Module in dbt...observing, present moment, etc. Anyway, I'll spare you the dbt talk, Sig.
I woke up pretty depressed this morning, but after reading this post and thinking about some of the other things you and others have said, something clicked. And it put my thinking into action today.
After I went to pay a dreaded bill that I've been avoiding, I jogged around the park for seven miles. It was cold and windy, but I got to see a heron in flight and cute little ducks bobbing around, and a beautiful full moon hanging over the water.
I don't often eat out, but I treated myself to a takeout at a newly opened Indian restaurant, and had a lovely chat with the owners while the food was being prepared. It ended up being, dare I say, a "good" day. I might even say that it was one the best days I've had in a while.
But... tomorrow is another day... :(
(I imagine you might be saying something like, "You did all that... after reading this? Okay, whatever, I think."). :)
