Hello everyone @perkyyoung here, Exercise is essential for everyone to stay healthy and strong,
but sometimes working out feels like it is cumbersome to do
every single day. In order to continue and enjoy the healthy
routine, you will need to have the right motivation.
Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit is what keeps you going. - Jim

A psychologist found that people use a wide variety of distractions to motivate themselves in trying to escape negative moods and the bad attitudes that accompany them.
They read, watch TV, go to movies, or play video games to break their thought patterns. The problem is unless you find a distraction that offers something uplifting, funny or inspiring, your mood could get worse.
They found that one of the best way to move to a more positive and motivated frame of mind was to exercise.
The same voice that says "give up" can
also be trained to say "keep going" -
A regular exercise routine can provide relatively quick positive feedback in the form of weight loss, muscle development, and exertion moves us from a low-arousal state to a state of high arousal, according to Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional intelligence.
Of course, it's not always possible to drop everything and run to the gym or track when you find yourself a little down, but there are some simple, quick exercises you can do while standing in line or sitting at your desk.
I suggest taking a sixty-second mental vacation. Close your eyes, look up, put a big smile on your face, and begin to think about someone you love or something you love to do. Hold that though, capture the moment, and begin to feel the peace, the joy and the power of that experience.
When you feel like quitting, think
about why you started.
Now you are equipped to seek your personal and professional success by using the tool in your attitude tool kit.
