Ask HN: How do you motivate yourself to do things you have no interest in?

I have had anxity and depression for quite a long time and just started to take meds which are helping me quite a lot. I want to do more things to help myself but I just cannot motivate myself.

This PhD from Stanford's Behavior Design Lab figured out a very simple method for how to train our brains.

i say keep going until it hurts too much. question is, how much more pain are you willing to take until you actually get frustrated and fed up with it, that you eventually start taking the right actions in dealing with things.

we respond in pain and pleasure, gains and losses, what do you respond to?
