One of the most useful (but hard-to-internalize) things I’ve learned is that it’s good to think of your actions as choices. To frame things as “I’m deciding what I value most right now and I’m going to do that.” as opposed to “I ought to do this, but I’m too weak to do as I ought.” It’s a radical difference in mindset.

Indeed. It makes me feel much more in control and much more capable.
