Not all your intuition is divine.
Do not listen to the voice that pops up in your head in the middle of doing something, saying, it’s not gonna benefit you, or you shouldn’t be doing this, or this is going to get us nowhere, or says any sort of discouraging statement whatsoever.
This voice will still be there even if you know without a shadow of a doubt before you got started this time or every time that it is a good idea to do this thing or whatever that you’re doing now, and that whatever that you’re doing now is of huge benefit to you or will change everything to the better long-term.
It’s not true. This voice is lying to you.
They are just bored and wanna do something else instead that is not as hard, so they discredit the reputation of the other task that you’re trying to do right now that is really good for you long-term. Do not listen to them. Do not trust them, even if they sound like your intuition or your wise inner voice.
You won’t be able to know if something will benefit you during doing it. You can only arrive at that conclusion or realize that it is of benefit to you afterwards, or after the thing is over only. You may be also capable of that before doing the thing, not while you’re engaged in doing it. Because while you’re occupied with doing the thing, you cannot think clearly about anything outside of how to get the thing done, even if it is related to the thing that you’re currently doing, like how good it is for you long-term if you kept doing it consistently.
While doing something, focus on doing it and getting it done only, like there’s no tomorrow.
Do not try to motivate yourself or expect motivation to come to you through thinking about the thing or anything whatsoever, while you’re still engaged in doing the thing and still occupied with getting it done.
