like, if i’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, i usually feel better. how to maintain the usefulness of this advice without presenting it as ‘fuck your feelings’, in that usual arrogant right wing sort of way

My mantras are:
Just do it. 🗸 = stop overanalyzing, start with whatever action you can do right now
Always eat your dessert first. = start with the most enjoyable or easiest part of the task
Be someone else. = pretend it’s not you facing the tough situation but someone else who asked you to get them out of it
Woah big disagree.
Furthest errand first.
Start with the vegetables.
Dessert first means nothing else is getting done
Vegetables first means I’m going to sit here and watch them wilt.
Dessert first means I’m actually doing the hardest part by far – which is to start.
How would a vegetable wilt if you’ve eaten it? I think the metaphor is falling over.
This isn’t about starting at all, it’s about the order of tasks presuming you are ready to begin work
It would wilt cause I wouldn’t start eating it.
And this is about starting for me.
