Yup, that’s the word. No, the situation described in the post was with not making any attempt fight akrasia. This will sound silly but somehow I thought I had been fighting akrasia in all the other cases because ultimately I wanted to be happy. So faced with happiness as the direct outcome, I’ve somehow been expecting akrasia to not apply. Duh.
anecdata: my conscientiousness went up on the big five from one year ago to today (very significant investment in a practice program + retreat over the year).

So now that you’ve realized this, do you think you’ll be able to use meditation to overcome akrasia?
