I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this?

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.
