An active lifestyle doesn't come easy; you can't just sit on the couch and expect it to happen; you have to work for it. When you are in the middle of, or even after doing something physically active, you have to examine the experience, and then look to recognize the peace and joy that accompanied that experience. Then your brain starts working for you instead of against you. Your memory triggers to the healthy activity, and within an instant you want to do it again. You may even want to take the experience further, where you think even more outside the box. Now instead of just going on a hike up a canyon, you are now thinking about running up that canyon. Now instead of just sitting at the top for a few minutes, you are now thinking about meditating, taking pictures, and maybe even building a fire. These are just examples, but the point being is that you need to allow your mind to become creative during such physical activity, where you then look to follow through  with its creative impulses, which will then ultimately lead you to finding joy in other avenues of the experience. Or in other words, your mind will expand to a whole new level of understanding concerning how to get high through being physically active the more often that you act on your creative impulses. Go on hikes; shovel your driveway; chop wood; go on a walk; go running; lift weights; plays sports; go skiing;  go fishing; work in your yard; play catch with your kid; clean your garage; be physically active in all aspects of your life; do whatever physical activity that you can think of that might make for an incredible experience. Make being physically activity into a spiritual experience. Talk to yourself, meditate, and then look all around you, and learn to be thankful for the blessings and opportunities you have in your life. Be thankful for the experience you are currently having by trying to  live in the moment. Be thankful for the wonderful gift of physical activity, for without it, who knows where you or I'd be.Write about, and even discuss this concept...
