In my view, it’s a mistake to “make” things happen. As soon as you start to think “I must do this” internal resistance sets in. We’re taught to overthink from quite an early age, particularly in school. I tend to think we know what to do, and that thought block us.

The obsession with timetabling, rules, not looking foolish in front of peers, and punishment/reward destroys our ability to know what’s actually good for us or required at this moment, from diet to relationships. It goes right down to asking permission to piss.

Unsurprisingly, people get into terrible trouble trying to think their way out predicaments when they don’t need to think at all. They become obsessed with finding the right label, when all that matters is if something improves or impairs your functioning.
