What's the alternative then? Just succumb to your habits? And maybe life is decent now, but it only goes downhill and gets more difficult physically as we age. Do you really want the you in 10 years to hate the you now?

I like Yvon Chouinard's approach when choosing sports too, he'd chose one that's fun, do it while enjoying it and once it feels like grinding he'd just move on to another sport that's fun again.

I understand that it's difficult, but it's something that affects all other areas of your life, so you shouldn't just give up.

I mean, I have dissociative identities, so I don't even have to hate the me of 10 years ago -- parts of me already hate other parts of me in the present, with a passion... but, I digress.

Yes, of course; I have some major executive dysfunction in pretty much all areas of my life, so this checks out... I don't "just give up" per se, I just don't know what to do, and then the habits keep happening in the background. I'm mostly autopilot these days, due to the constant overwhelm (even though I don't like it).
