Physical and mental exercise makes me feel better

Posted by Lamdage22 on January 6, 2020, at 7:36:34

Just saying. I am now in a place where i can study 2-2 1/2 hours and work out after. I realize that some of you are not in this place but that should be the ultimate goal unless you have the "burn-out" type of depression and you are an overachiever. I am clearly not. I was more burned-out by boredom.

I am writing a paper about weightlifting in german. That is my first assignment from university.

i'm the oppsiste, because acutally during exverise ill have mood swing, or think about stuff i have to do after, and it bothers me. It's more self-disaple with me, because just doing to it thinking it's a good habit, fall off the wagon. I have to force myself, self-discipline to do mental analysis, and exercise. It does not come spontaneous, when it does it makes bad mood. Have to map out discipline, and write not to think about other things while im analysis, or training. There's a quote, the more you do something, "neurons that fire together, wire together" the more you do an activity, the more your brain responds and does it. Not with me, it's having to force the feeling of not quitting

Maybe it's because instead of changing gears, you quit?

So then quitting becomes something that has wired in?

I am not sure that I can explain what I mean about changing gears.

I am remembering some of the very early episodes of Biggest Loser where the people start to make the transition from complaining very very loudly (and not exercising much) to chanelling the complaining energy into exercising at increased effort.

It might be something to do with energy systems and tapping into different ones of those in order to change gear.

I just know that you see some people grit their teeth and keep going (and shortly thereafter *feel better* while doing it) whereas people who aren't that much into it tend to stop...

I think it is one of those spiral things... If you could tap into that then it would be self-reinforcing.
