I’ve been reflecting on how to approach discipline and motivation in a way that ties into my fascination with epidemiology. It feels like there’s a natural connection between the persistence needed in public health research and the consistency required for personal goals. For example, tracking progress in fitness could mirror how epidemiologists track disease patterns both require patience and a long-term perspective.
Has anyone tried framing their fitness journey as a kind of “case study”? I’m curious if breaking down goals into smaller, measurable outcomes (like weekly milestones) could make the process feel more engaging, almost like analyzing data trends. Or maybe there’s a way to draw inspiration from historical public health efforts, where small, consistent actions led to massive change over time.
I’d love to hear if others have found creative ways to blend their interests with their fitness routines. How do you stay motivated when the bigger picture feels far off?
