Are you the type of person who has an inner monologue that you make bargains with? “If I run a mile I can eat a slice of pizza.” “If I get home before 5 I’ll do my workout, otherwise I’m just cooking dinner.” Chances are the answer is “yes”, because you’re human (or you’re a dog who learned how to read, good job).
