Paralysing Monday

Sarah says:

“I try not to do any of my most favourite activities on Monday out of fear that they will become very unsatisfactory.

I see it as a preventive measure against negative conditioning of something I like. Let me explain: when a dog gets a treat every time he hears a bell, he will end up salivating every time the bell rings. Now replace the bell with … say… throwing shit in his face. If he gets thrown shit in his face every time he tries to eat, then eventually he will not like eating anything very much, will he?

So I actually try not to ever do ANYTHING on Mondays, because I fear I could connect it with … shit being thrown in my face!

See what you mean?”
