Thanks for posting this—reports of experience are interesting and useful. I advise caution. That style of emotional belief is useful in motivation, and is a good hint toward areas to model more closely and prioritize in terms of actions. But it’s also over-general and under-nuanced, and lacks humility and acknowledgement that it might be incorrect.
Oh, funny—I misunderstood your “a little embarrassing to admit” to mean that you’re embarrassed to admit you didn’t feel it sooner, with the implication that you expect most readers to already feel it and think you’re late to the party. Embarrassing to admit that you have aliefs, and that this one has moved to align with your conscious beliefs didn’t occur to me.
