I was thinking about this question today, as I was working out. Whenever I feel as though nothing is going right, or the weight of the world is on my shoulders, even when the wife and kids begin to be to much, working out ALWAYS makes me feel better. No matter what is going on in my life, after a good workout I feel like I can accomplish ANYTHING! It just really gets my going, and that is when I do my best work in my online business. Just thought I would share. So what gets you going?

    My ipod. Simply put when I am feeling down and out with the need to be lifted back up, I put the earbuds in my ear and I listen to some rock music. It has always seemed to pull me out of a rut, each and every time.

    Simple meditation works

    When you have a disabled sibling...its very easy to re-motivate yourself as soon as you notice you've lost focus! Thats my inspiration

    I go for a swim - sounds simple but it works. Lets me clear my mind and get re-focussed. Sometimes after sitting around at the computer all day just getting some fresh air helps!

    I completely agree with you. Working out just takes everything off your mind and you are just there in your own little world working out, getting fitter, doing something that just feels great. No matter how much stress or problems are going on in my life working out is like a getaway personal place that gets me pumped up and gets my head thinking straight again.

      What you wrote is perfectly fine. It just seems to be alot of people enjoy working out. When I do workout, I am also rocking the tunes to keep me fired up.

    I'd have to say working out as well and eating raw living foods. Taking care of yourself is a part of success as well. It all has to be on, diet, fitness, money, spirituality the whole thing. When all phases of our life are going, it just starts to click.

    Very much agree with you on the benefits of a great workout.

    For me a brisk half an hour of walk is something that I really enjoy and look forward to daily, it really helps me to regain myself. On weekends there's nothing to beat a 30 minute meditation session, it leaves me deeply relaxed & rejuvenated.

    Cheers.

      I think that will be my next move. I hear all the benefits of meditation, but I have never tried it. Think I will start small though maybe 10 minutes. Don't know if I can sit still for thirty minutes and clear my mind.

    This guy I used to work for used to tell me it was going back to those dead end jobs that kept him going daily.
