I guess things are 'interesting from the start' because of a coincidental state of mind when approaching the topic. Its emotional, not intellectual?
Engaging is pretty well understood. Its putting your full consistent attention on a task, and attempting to perform it better.
I find some things interesting at some point, and not interesting at others. The thing doesn't of course change. Its all me.
Can give some practical advice or pointers about how to become interested in something? What do you practically mean by "engage"?
Second point: even though something is "only" in your head, it doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to change.
The question then becomes not whether it's possible to become interested in something, but whether it's worthwhile to put your time and energy into doing so as opposed to doing something you find interesting from the start.
