Perhaps the “decisions” that happen in the brain are often accompanied by some change in hormones (I am thinking about Peterson saying how lobsters get depressed after they lose a fight), so we can’t just willpower them away. Instead we need to find some hack that reverts the hormonal signal.
Sometimes just taking a break helps, if the change in hormones is temporary and gets restored to the usual level. Or we can do something pleasant to recharge (eat, talk to friends). Or we can try working with unconsciousness and use some visualization or power poses or whatever.
