I mean its so much better for the brain to be active working doing useful things stimulating your brain or working out, we all have a reward system and everytime we finish a task we feel a sense of accomplishment but everytime you should be doing something that you know will feel good in the end you just get this urge of doing nothing today and just relaxing,
shouldnt our brain be chasing this sense of accomplishment? Where does this feeling come from

Your assumption that everyone gets a sense of reward and accomplishment in their brain when they finish a task is not right. I use up all my dopamine planning and creatively imagining the task. Doing it is almost always just a slog, and when I finish it I just want to run away and forget about it, even if I’ve done a good job, and it’s something I’m really glad I’ve done. I’m trying to train myself to stop and actively appreciate the accomplishment so my brain will start to associate finishing the task with pleasure, but so far my brain still prefers the dopamine rush of deciding to do something else instead to avoid the stress. I need a full-time coach.
