Humans are not inclined to do extra work and prepare for the future ....but rather conserve energy and default to the easiest option. Human instinct is not about seeking delayed gratification but rather just the opposite. The easiest and quickest possible. This made great sense when life was solely a quest for food and physical survival. Not anymore. Turns out your mind is not actually currently designed to encourage effort...diet, exercise, restriction, moderation, sobriety... but rather assigns high value to quick returns such as caffeine, alcohol, social media distraction,...not movement and diet restriction, or discipline. Motivation is attractive, ideal, but also elusive and not a reliable trait to depend on. Habit and intention is more dependable.
Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, General Stress- all trigger the survival instinct for "efficient and easy" and make it hard to see all the choices. Sometimes behavior intended for short term- emergency use only gets created and remains in place indefinitely. This can be a form of OCD, PTSD, ADD.
Science of all disciplines reveal that motivation is not actually going to arrive and explains the logic behind why. Other arrangements must be made.
M-Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is another arrangement.
