Motivation means to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153set into motion\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How do we set ourselves into motion \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to literally move more?<\/li>
  2. How can we set ourselves into artistic motion \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to move our feet to shoot photos, to draw, etc?<\/li>
  3. The role of your environment, nutrition, and physiology to spark your movement?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    1. Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Strong black coffee in the morning (with lots of water). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Music <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Music stirs our soul into motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve actually been experimenting: making illustrations or calligraphs based on the music I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been listening to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example BEZERK by Big Sean\/ASAP FERG inspired me to write my own BEZERK<\/a> poem, and also inspired me to draw these illustrations (I can see the kinetic energy in these images, and I listened to the song on loop):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Abundant sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When I have abundant and deep sleep (8-10 hours a night), I actually feel recharged and refreshed for the day, which actually gives me an impetus to move, walk, stretch, go to the gym, lift weights, write, and think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Boredom <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Also boredom is essential to get us to move. When I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m bored, I want to go out and explore and do new things! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Also perhaps some level of discomfort is good to get us moving. For example if my body feels a bit stiff, I actually have a motivation to go on a walk, to go do lunges, take the stairs, etc. I really like the feeling of gravity on my joints (why I like to take stairs, stretch, and do yoga movements).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. Frustration or curiosity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Whenever I got things on my mind \u00e2\u20ac\u201d this is good. Unanswered puzzles stimulate me to think, move, and do stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example a lot of modern morals and ethics is endlessly fascinating to me. The reason I write is a means of explicating my thoughts, and trying to figure out ethical and moral problems. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t write for the sake of writing \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I write to solve problems (many of which afflict me).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    7. The fun of art creation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Making art is a fun game. Do it to entertain yourself and have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
