Do What You Enjoy

Do What You Enjoy to Create Lasting Change

Exercise is often portrayed as a chore, a competition, or something you can do "wrong" instead of a pleasant experience. This is unfortunate — at the end of the day, exercise is just about being active and getting your blood flowing.

These are harmful mental models, as they are incorrect. Any activity is better than no activity, so be patient and empathetic with yourself when starting out.

The end goal isn't to become an athlete in a week, but to find joy in activity and have more energy throughout the day as a result.
