Short excerpt from a YouTube video ("Sylas Converse - Books That Changed My Life: Give and Take #2") consisting of a first-person reflection about motivation and small daily habits. The speaker describes a seven-item daily checklist (examples: read a book, play piano, breathe for 10 minutes, exercise) that, when completed, alleviates low-motivation days. The speaker also states a core belief—that much of our suffering is self-created—and links action (motion/out-of-your-head) to improved well-being.

When I find myself in a day where, you know, maybe I'm lacking motivation and I haven't made anything, I. By the end of the day, I don't feel any better. I actually feel 10 times worse than I did when I woke up. But even if all I do is go through my little daily checklist of seven things that I have to do every single day. You know, read a book, play the piano, breathe for 10 minutes, exercise, you know, whatever it is, that little list, you check those things off. Suddenly not everything is that bad. Because I really do believe that that statement that we create most of the suffering that we endure ourselves. You get out of your head, get some motion in you, and suddenly everything's going to be okay. It really is crazy how simple it is sometimes.
