In my opinion, motivational energy works a lot like financial investing. It grows and shrinks exponentially. You have to spend energy, to get more energy (or even conserve it) but the return is uncertain. The optimal strategy is to invest an amount relative to the energy I have, to avoid draining my reserves. To escape the effects of depression [alongside medical treatment] I have to invest my energy wisely, and ultimately I can (and have, in the past) achieve motivational abundance again. And I must adjust the investment strategy to my current capital. Exercise can be a very rewarding way of investing energy. But it can also be really hard at first.
