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?
Two years for it to become enjoyable? What is it a JRPG?
After 2 years I couldn’t wait to get back in there each week. I felt great, looked healthy, my skin cleared up, I wasn’t depressed, was in the best shape of my life at the time. Playing video games (and later doing drugs) for 15 years didn’t exactly pay off in those areas.
I look at it like this: Am I going to be alive in 2 years? Ok, then taking on a 2 year project is worth it. Months fly by in the blink of an eye these days, 2 years will have gone by before you notice.
