I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?

If so… what does it feel like? Is there anything the rest of us can do to cultivate such a mindset?

    Aside from the fact that you are literally developing yourself, I really enjoy doing fitness because it doesn’t have any flow or competitiveness to it.

    I’m someone who constantly thinks of projects and side projects and things to do and improve, but I’ve seen that when I am doing weight lifting, my mind is completely there and empty of all the worries
