A pattern I realized recently. In the evening or the daytime, I thought of my next morning run. I felt strong. I envisioned that I would run 5KM, 10KM, ... I felt confident and kind of proud of myself.
Until the morning came, starting to run was hard. The first km was terrible. All the "power", "confident" from last night disappeared. Lazy and doubt kicked in.
And then when the training was over, oh shit, the same "confident" process triggered.
The mind is brilliant. It tries its best to make you "happy", put you in a conform zone.
You are a hero, you are a good person in your thoughts. Be careful of that illusion. It is all an illusion. The only way to find out who you are is the following day, the moment you have to put your legs on the road and make your hands dirty.
The brain has its own logic and I cannot do much about it. I have to be aware of that fact and act wisely.
