Ironically this probably isn't only because doing things brings happiness, but because more experience means more context, and more context means more understanding. The only way to gain a better understanding of your life is to have more types of experiences, sitting there and thinking about it within the framework of the experiences you've already had generally isn't that useful.
E.g. the best way to understand why a previous relationship didn't work out is to have more relationships.
- rrradical 10y agoI just went through a long period of self reflection that I found very helpful. It wasn't easy, but there wasn't really another option as I didn't have the energy to try new things. Now I am doing new things again and it is of course helpful, but I can't discount the benefit that reflection provided.
