Why do we run? Jog? Exercise? Did you ask this question at least once? And why in the world weight loss is or can be a creative process?
In the culture where you are judged by certain parameters, people are used to live by the standards that may be imposed on them by the society and/or individuals.
For the majority of the population, exercise is a far-from-being-pleasant experience. Usually it is associated with the necessity for weight loss. Nothing wrong with that. But this is not the only thing why we enjoy being physically active.
Before a person even attempts to go out and do something, the laziness of the brain takes over. Fears, low self-esteem and the similar companions of such “society” of feelings, emotions, and psychological presumptions play a powerful part of keeping millions from enjoying the freedoms their bodies could give them.
Every time my morning running takes me outside, I am thankful within my very few first steps that I can do it, and I can create something new in my mind, in my heart, in my soul to build my day from it. And how can’t I when peace and beauty is all over and around me?

These purple blooms seem to be blooming all year round. It is only a short breather time they take between each and very explosion of color.

Lily pads are some of my most favorite phenomena of the Everglades. The white blossoms are mesmerizingly perfect in shape and projection of its beauty.
You see, those pheromones that are released in our brain during any vigorous physical activity are the magical building blocks to anything creative, happening outside that thinking box. Thoughts, ideas flow freely composing the next successful project, party, a solution to a tough situation. And when you allow your body to indulge in a physical activity frequently, this creative process becomes your second nature.
Once you hit the road – wherever it may be, gym or outside in nature, – your autopilot shall take you to the heights that are revealed only in the moments of inspiration.
To wait for inspiration to visit you, you know what you could do day in and day out. Allow your body to express itself in that early morning jogging, in that super cool kickboxing class, or in any other outlet that you find pleasant to pursue and engage in regularly.
By starting doing it, you will have your answer to Why people run? Jog? Exercise?
They do all of the above to get connected to the most sacred of all in each of us – our creative, inspiration that is sitting inside of you and me and waiting to burst out with our personal expression of it.
Why wait? The time to be creative is TODAY.

I wish I could run! I ran in high school and loved it~ but health problems have made it impossible for now. Instead, I take my girls walking. We walk all over the place just for the simple reason of walking. My girls need to know that they don’t need to hop in the car to run to the corner store!!
Great article!
what a great post, its wonderful to be able to have someone who can give me that bit of motivation, even when i think i can’t handle it LOLL thanks
I so need to get my butt going!! I have never been an active person….so it is tough for me to get going. I need someone to kick me out the door. I do want to start running (and learn to breathe correctly) and I am doing some yoga for my lower back pain…I need a workout buddy.
Sofia,
The laziness of mind keeps us from doing and accomplishing what we need and desire.
To Start something is the most important thing you could do at times.
Yes, having a buddy to support you is an amazing thing to have.
When you don’t have someone close by, just reach out and tell me, I would love to be your Support Team!
I have never, and I mean never gotten inspiration from any kind of physical activity! Back when I had dogs I used to walk them minimum 3 times a day for over an hour each time–now that I no longer have a dog (due to apartment regulations) I have a cat and my days of walking are gone forever!! It is really not safe to walk around where I live. My inspiration comes when I can go to a wooded area or a park and just relax–sit at the edge of a body of water–my body has to be perfectly still for my imagination to take hold and inspiration to flow. Perhaps if I lived where it was really safe to walk in nature I would still enjoy it-I do so love to watch nature preform her miracles!
Michele,
We gotta allow ourselves the moments where creativity gets hold of our state, breathing, living. And if it is your “still” position, do it. By all means.
We also gotta try different ways of tasting life.
Never would I imagine that my most creative stuff would come out of my jogging and power walking! Now, it is flowing with more and more ease.
I also appreciate my “breathing,” quiet moments when I “empty” my mind and just BE.
With love, anything is possible. Open mind is an empty vessel and accepts things we don’t usually think of.
This is a wonderful post. I’ve been searching for motivation to start exercising and you have just helped me. Even if it’s just to start my day off with the positive outlook and a boost in self esteem….I can do this. You are so right about the laziness of the brain taking over too…my brain does this to me all the time, with everything I need to do. I have to kick that habit.
Mary,
We can support each other! Just come here and ask for it when you need it!
What I do almost every morning is dress us and get out of the house for my walk, run whatever I feel like. Today, I went to the gym and had a super pumping cession. Felt soo good!
Take one day, one step at a time.
When you’ve done it frequently enough (sounds funny), you’ll need to do it as part of your day, of your new lifestyle!
I’ll see you tomorrow! Come and tell us how you boosted your day!
