Hey.
You know what?
The only use those types of thoughts have in anyone's life, is to remind you of something you value completing.
Thats it. Once you've had the thought, let the next thought follow just be - Yup.
Maybe you do it, maybe not. But putting that pressure on yourself isn't serving the purpose of doing that thing, in fact, it almost always does the opposite.
So yes, Ideally, we'd have no motivation other than feeling the need to do a thing simply because its what need to do.
But its not like that, for anyone. Stop being so expectant of yourself, and instead just expect that kind of thought to come up, and then wave at it, and let it pass on by.
