How much do you guys actively crave doing…stuff?

Lately I’ve been thinking about what kind of _stuff_ I crave doing. I’m not necessarily talking about things that I _enjoy_ doing, I’m talking about things that I actively **crave** doing – things that my body intrinsically says “Yes I want to do that”. Things that I don’t have to give myself a little pep talk to do. I’ve come up with a few examples that I, personally, **crave** on a fairly regular basis:

* Playing video games with my friends
* Eating burritos
* Getting high and watching a movie
* Sex/intimate stuff (cuddling and whatnot)

Conversely, here are a few example of things that I **enjoy** doing but I don’t actively _crave_ doing. Things that take some mental pushing to get myself to do even though I know I’ll enjoy it:

* Hiking
* Going out with friends (i.e. going to a bar or playing boardgames; something that’s not just playing online games)
* Reading

As an added bonus, here’s a few things that I neither **crave** nor **enjoy** but I know leave me happier after I’ve done them:

* Exercising
* Learning a new language/studying something I want to know more about
* Meditating
* Meeting new people

I’ve struggled most of my life with the feeling that most of what I do falls in the second or third categories, and that I’m usually sort of pushing myself to do things rather than actively craving to do them. I see other people doing things and I wonder to myself – is that something where they’re thinking to themselves “Yess I get to go kayaking today! That is what I want to be doing right now” or are they thinking “Sure I’d love to just lay on the couch and watch TV right now, but I know I enjoy kayaing a lot so I’m going to go do that” or do they say “Sure I’d rather just lay down on the couch and watch TV, and I know I won’t be in a state of bliss while I’m out on the water, but I know I’ll be a lot happier at the end of the day if I go kayaking today”.

I’m interested in hearing from y’all where your hobbies typically fall in those categories.
