appreciate the perspective but I want to be like the people that feel pulled to "find" it at all.
The high can be way better than you'd believe possible before you try. Or if you don't believe personal anecdote.. /something/ must be keeping all those people coming back to it at considerable expense, hassle and time.
but its pretty clear what I'm asking I don't have to keep re-explaining that, for thanks for chiming in.
- aim to either meet or exceed the previous workout, and consider that a success
- count reps so you can increase them 1 at a time until you're ready to increase weight
- for cardio, increase difficulty (incline/speed) until you're ready to increase distance
- set a longer term goal, too, like a body weight bench press or a 10 minute mile
- after doing this for a while, you might notice some differences in your appearance, which can be its own motivator
Shouldn't take more than a bit of caffeine to get you moving at that point.
As to empath mode, you've just described MDMA. But it'd be nice if there were something a little less intense. That you could take weekly without frying your brain & was mild enough for family/work social situations. (And no, alcohol doesn't fit the bill).
