And the most common issue when it came to what I was avoiding doing was not knowing what I really had to do.
"Knowing" is a 'cognitive' exercise. "Reflecting" is simply watching . . . watching your actions and emotions . . . and in fact, even your 'cognitive' processes. Just take a step back and enjoy. You've probably heard of guys getting hit on the head or shoulder with sticks at mediation centers. They do this sometimes to 'wake' the individual from circulating within the same thought patterns. When somebody surprises you from behind a door, you're not thinking "Oh, that was funny or that was scary . . ." You just freeze, chemicals in your brain flow the way it's wired to flow . . . and only afterward justify your emotions/actions. Becoming that 'neutral observer' is the goal.
Certainly alot to think on.

very well that I just have to accept my nature in certain things until it changes or doesn't...
This is just reality isn't it? You either identify, correct, and move forward or you work with current obstacles.
This is something I'll save for another thread, that while accepting who you naturaly are is reality check worth bearing in mind; I don't think it stacks up that motivation is "Either in your nature, or not". There are people who "learn to love" and learn to "take action".
Granted, this requires a base level of "motivation" to get the process going, but the motivational levels and instinctual re-actions to the world are not the same in these people as when they started. I think we'd have to break down, what is motivation and what it consists of before we go any further.

Regarding the topic we were origonaly discussing, do you not think the promotion of better gyms and the increased availability of these gyms will help?
Supply and demand. . . and you only need one gym.[/quote]
All perfect in theory, but quite simply not the case in reality.
