You can train yourself to like it. Fake it till you make it

I was literally about to say something along the lines of “im sick and tired of eating celery” but i noticed something....i find it sweet now. I am currently munching on celery thinking to myself “this isnt as bad as before” same stalk, same batch. I must have acquired the taste. Like coffee. I heard of a man who was shipwrecked at sea and he had to survive by eating the eyes and liver of fish (i cant remember why) and he said that after awhile he was enjoying it. Same goes for the body. I used to not be able to touch my toes and now its the first thing i do in the morning. I workout because i like to now. I used to hate breaking a sweat.

I used to have a WHAT IF YOU COULD shelf in my classroom when I taught preschool. We kept puzzles and activities there that were challenging and told kids to pretend they could do them before taking them out. There were some administration who didn't like me to tell kids to pretend they could do something, then watch them master it! 😂
It's crazy how well
mind over matter can work though.
