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?
For me it’s deeply relaxing. You basically get into full machine-mode and stop thinking, just flow forward, for a few moments everything in the world is not important anymore. Feels like active meditation.
It’s mobile meditation.
