How I Motivate Myself

I am one of the most motivated people I know. How do I do it? Some thoughts:

  1. Go for a walk. Once you walk, *THEN* you get creative ideas. When in doubt, go for a walk.
  2. Music.
  3. Lots of black coffee.
  4. Cold showers
  5. Quick pump: Go to the park and workout, lift weights at home, do body weight exercises at home, or go to the gym and do some heavy ‘one rep max’ deadlifts or squats. To motivate your legs is the best form of motivation. Or in other words, when in doubt, always workout your legs (instead of your upper body). Assuming ‘motivation’ means to ‘move’ (literally to walk and move your legs), then your legs reign supreme.
