Best for: hard starts, low motivation, procrastination
Motivation, in the research, tends to follow movement rather than precede it. Rather than waiting for enthusiasm to arrive, you'll wake the body in small specific places — the hands, the soles of the feet, the ribs widening with the breath. Then you'll bring one small thing you've been putting off lightly to mind, and notice the millimetre forward lean that turns availability into direction. The first move after is small, specific, and soon.
