An object in motion stays in motion. An object at rest stays at rest. This is a basic rule of physics – and exercise. Want the energy to exercise? Then, exercise. One doesn’t arrive at the momentum to exercise from a seated position. Once you are rolling the momentum is self-generating.
Just aside: I think it was Nietzch who said, “Never trust a thought that didn’t come by walking” .
I think that this is one of the most misunderstood and overlooked aspects of motivation. I know I kept looking for it from outside myself. And temporarily I can probably get it that way. But, in the big picture, I am the one generating it for myself (or not). It is not being given or taken from me. When I have it, I have done something(s) to create it, and it would behoove me to figure out how I did that so I can do it again. If/when I lose it, I have done something (or not done something) to forfeit it. Likely whatever it was was initially so subtle that I didn’t at first notice that it was undermining me and diluting my momentum. It was only when it had reached critical mass and I had completely lost my mojo that I would even start to wonder where it went!
