Stopped training for a year, and realised how to not lose motivation when coming back

I often play video games, and it struck me, sometimes I finish the campaign with a super high level character, but then choose to go back to the beginning and do it again.

But this time, I know all the secret locations, all the shortcuts, the best combos

Going back to the gym, every time you do a new stint, you’re doing another playthrough, and each time you do it, you get the chance to progress faster, do it better, and closer to the perfect run.

Hope this thought helps others as it’s helped me.
