You can make choices that make doing the right thing easier.
Walking five miles on a treadmill is hard. That's over an hour of walking! If you get tired or bored and want to pack it in, you can stop at any time. There’s no cost. Just step off the treadmill.
Even walking around a track doesn’t take much commitment. You might feel an obligation to finish the lap you’re on, but there’s no reason you need to finish all 20 laps. If you want to quit after 17 or 11 or 5, you can.
But if you spend that initial burst of energy hiking 2.5 miles out, you’re committed. You can’t quit. You’ve got to keep going. The easiest thing you can do is finish what you set out to do.
