Creating is always a good feeling

Working out is rewarding

There is a half-life to mind-numbing activities, even after ceasing

It’s likely that there is tension you could ease in your body

You have more control over your comportment than you’d think

Novelty is itself rewarding

It’s unlikely that getting out of bed early won’t always be unpleasant

How things are with other people is not how they must always be

Aloneness is not a reflection of some personal deficiency

A good story can be reason enough to do something

Others’ moods are not your problem (to an extent)

It’s important to pause between activities

Something does not need a social reward to be worth doing

Learning is pleasurable

Thinking about the day as something one is losing is unhelpful

The morning, dusk, twilight, dawn, all have their own kind of beauty

Going slow can make something more enjoyable

It is often a bad idea to start something when it’s late

Winding down needs to be facilitated

Going to the grocery store is almost always worth it

Avoiding the necessary phase of being bad at something means you won’t gain skills

It can be worth struggling against forces even if they cannot be ‘conquered,’ ever

Beliefs sit between facts and emotions

Knowing when to stop is a skill, and a little early is ok

Between activities, mindlessly, is often when mistakes are made

Ideas are hard to come by and easy to forget

Getting rid of things is cathartic
