How Taking Action Builds Motivation: A Gym Example

I normally never have depression.

I don't remember having depression in the last 20 years at least.

But one of the reasons for that is I start doing things.

I identify the problem, I can see a solution, and I start executing the strategy.

If you are stuck in this loop of being worried about something, nothing is ever going to

change.

And people often make this mistake thinking, oh, I should just have some rest and then

regain energy.

This is not how it works.

You gain energy by doing something.

So you start doing something, then it happens.

You feel motivated, you feel inspired, and then ultimately you do something else, a little

bit more, a little bit more, and in a few years, who knows, you may end up achieving

great things.

Going to the gym is a good example.

There are many days when you don't want to start working out.

But you have to overcome this initial reluctance, and then you get to a point that you enjoy

it.

And you think, oh my God, it was such a good idea to come to the gym today.
