I have realized the solution to all my life problems.

It’s funny. My problem with this is effectively that it solves all my problems. The problem with that is that I am not as motivated for the rest of the day because I feel pretty satisfied after working out first thing. So I go through seasons of not working out in the mornings or really at all (besides walking) because I actually want to want. I don’t actually want to be satisfied. I want to earn satisfaction by other means like by making progress on creative work vs. just working out. But I’ve had other seasons where it was great. Basically just went for long runs, wrote for an hour or two, and hung with family for the better part of six months during early covid. Remember it fondly.
