Yeah, so you wouldn’t say something like “I want to run”, or “I should get some exercise”. You would say “If I go for a run, then I will likely feel refreshed and would increase the probability that my overall health increases over the long-run. Possibly causing me to live longer, and certainly increasing my future life-satisfaction. At the cost of moderate exhaustion in the near-term.” then you compare the result which that action would cause to the results which alternative actions cause, choose the most favorable world-state, and perform the action which causes that world state to occur.
The world-state idea is interesting, like the shift in perception is to make the options salient (and therefore more likely to be taken).
