I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?
If so… what does it feel like? Is there anything the rest of us can do to cultivate such a mindset?
I recently started and I fucking hate it. I need a ‘reason’ like playing a sport. So for now my motivation is my daughter. So I can keep up with her. And I’m going to try join the local soccer club next year as a carrot on a stick to aim for.
