This made me think of what pjeby calls the pain brain. In short, our actions can be motivated by either getting closer to what we want (pull) or away from what we try to avoid (push). Generally, push overrides pull, so you may not even notice what you want if you're too busy avoiding what you don't.

It may be useful to explore your goals and motivations with relaxed mental inquiry and critically examine any fears or worries that may come up.
