If you had just stayed in that a motivated state and waited for it to go away or done something like cleaning up that for whatever reason , felt like it required less friction . When I say friction , I mean , limbic friction , your limbic system is always in this dialogue with your forebrain and limbic friction goes two ways . Limbic friction can be you're tired and you don't want to do something .

Limbic friction can be you're tired and you don't want to do something . And so you have to quote unquote , motivate to do it , energize yourself to do it or limbic friction can be that you're nervous and scared and anxious to do something and you have to calm yourself in order to lean forward into action in order to do that thing .
Limbic friction can be you're tired and you don't want to do something . And so you have to quote unquote , motivate to do it , energize yourself to do it or limbic friction can be that you're nervous and scared and anxious to do something and you have to calm yourself in order to lean forward into action in order to do that thing . Despite the anxiety , I realize this can be a little bit confusing as a concept .
Assuming you've taken care of all the baseline stuff , all the foundational stuff we talked about earlier and you're just not getting in gear and you find yourself , you know , checking your phone or maybe you're tending to some tasks . Obviously , those things are quote unquote easier for you , meaning they cause less limbic friction than engaging in exercise . The typical advice would be just exercise for one minute , ok .
So for instance , if you're sitting around feeling a motivated or you find yourself tending to tasks that are irrelevant to the goal that you really should be focused on . You need to put your body and mind into a state of discomfort quickly . And the way to do that is to either engage in some tangential activity , meaning an activity not related to your goal that puts your body into a very different state .
