Daniel Kahneman, a behavioral scientist, claims we have two selves
Am experiencing self (the now)
And the remembering self (the past)
Often times these two may be in misalignment
Our experiencing self feels the pain of having to exercise and go through pain
Our remembering self remembers the good moments of physical health
Our experiencing self hates the mosquitos from camping
Our remembering self remembers the good memories made with friends
So which self do we trust?
Well the key is to somehow realign them
To do activities that we both enjoy in the moment and also will remember as a good experience
These are the activities we should strive to do more of in our life
