It's different for everyone, because everyone is different. I'm not trying to be cute. Somehow, you need to find that in yourself. That spark can come from anywhere though.

We (tech people) live such sedentary lifestyles that I'd suggest just a direct command of 1. WORK OUT (at least 20minutes of raised heartbeat each day) and 2. EAT WELL (whole foods/balanced/non-processed diet)... Are you doing this now? Well, get off your lazy ASS and BIG BELLY and JUST DO IT! :)

You're totally right that everyone is different and there's no One True Solution here. Which, I guess, is kind of what I was trying to point out.

I think your 1 and 2 are excellent bits of advice, even if convincing yourself to maintain them in the long term can be tough.
