I like doing it now, because I stopped thinking about it like a bad thing. Your brain is just a big overhyped pattern-based machine.

Except not all brains are wired the same, nor do all bodies work the same. You being able to "think" yourself in to enjoying doing dishes is good for you, but really not the answer and definitely not a "guarantee" for everyone (because there is a large range of mild to serious mental and physical illness that mean "thinking" barriers away isn't an option. Also sever poverty and daily subjection to things like racism, more things that people can't think away, have a big impact on everything in life, including processing and coping with the world).
