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!
