I haven't had the motivation to exercise for quite a while now. I definitely believe that it helps though or at least it has for me. It gets the blood pumping and the endorphins flowing and I feel really alive. I haven't run in many years but I remember one time in particular when I got such an incredible runner's high. (I've never felt that good from any medication!) You'd think that an experience like that would motivate me to exercise ... but noooooo. I've been so lethargic and it's such vicious cycle. The less I move, the more groggy and leaden and unhealthy I feel - yet I don't get my butt out there.
