Attention, Awareness and Attitude

Attention, Awareness, and Attitude are fundamental. They're the rescue team and where the rubber meets the road. Without those three any effort is doomed -- not just to fail, but to do so by fading away into the pale oblivion of apathy.

I think to a great degree I have been not-exercising for the simple reason that I just don't think about it. I forget. I'm distracted. I'll do it later. Sit on your butt all day for work and it's hard to motivate yourself to do much of anything.

I find that I am overwhelmingly deadline and goal oriented. Probably a side effect of entrepreneurial work most of my life. So I'm great with those. But it means if I don't have those spelled out clearly for myself, and if I don't look at them constantly and keep them in-my-face, I'm a tree sloth.

"You get what you concentrate upon. There is no other main rule." -- Seth

I want to start exercising again. Even if it's barely anything, even if it's kind of stupid, I just want the effort of "paying attention" to exercise and my body, "being aware" of how my body feels and what I need to be doing for it, and "having a good attitude" by consistently working toward something that I know I need.
