    I recently read Gretchin Rubin's book, The Four Tendencies. It describes four personality types divided into how you deal with internal and external expectations. I learned I'm a "rebel" who resists all expectations. If someone tells me I need to do X, I will do anything *except* X. Funny that it also applies to me telling myself I need to do X.
    I have to think of it as something I WANT to do, not something I NEED to do. I WANT to have more energy, I WANT to sleep better at night, etc.

    I couldn't agree more with this!! It's really all about your mindset - getting to do something and wanting to do something are a lot more powerful and motivating than needing to do something or having to do something!

    Fellow Rebel here. And the biggest person I rebel against is my own goals and expectations. It's kind of horrible really.
