What if I talked out loud to myself in the voice I tweeted with 🤔

Getting out of bed happened pretty smoothly after I started just saying "I'm lying in bed. I'm lying in bed. I'm lying in bed." 🤔
I don't use this trick nearly often enough.

could you give a couple examples of some of the things you're saying in your narration for example?

i need to pee, i feel hungry, i want to shower, i haven’t showered today, it is 2:48pm, i am showering, i am wiping myself dry with a towel, i am thinking about my taxes, i am thinking about going for a walk to get food
from a PCT pov the key combination is awareness of present state + awareness of desired future state, so you can feel the difference between them; according to PCT this is the source of motivation
(meaning that PCT solves the is-ought problem!!!)

in this previous thread i had a small breakthrough about awareness of desired future state but it was incomplete w/o awareness of present state. may still be incomplete, will see

e.g. i was trying to get out of bed this morning. the "active" intentions i had to bring into awareness were:
go to bathroom
respond to text
take notes on laptop
at this point it was *almost* effortless to go to bathroom
eat
*completely* effortless to go to bathroom
