The motivational mechanics that I have used to carry out these activities, is to use any of them as encouraging of the others; that is to say, to begin the exercise thinking that at least I will walk 1000 feet and that I will have to take advantage of them to read two pages, and to think that if I can read up to ten of them, the better. This will encourage me to walk a little more. This practice has never failed me, because reading -which personally motivates me the most- invariably is the activity that drives me to walk. But for another person it could be the other way around, or the motivating writing. I become so absorbed in reading that I do not feel the time running and when I become aware, I realize that I have traveled a lot more than 1 mile and read more than the two pages that I proposed. With writing the same thing happens to me, although it is less propulsive (for me). At the end of the day, the four activities interact with each other and can be intra-stimulated.

This can be a kind of commitment for those people who are convinced of the need of any of the four activities and do not have enough enthusiasm or motivation.
It often happens that while walking with pleasure, we say to ourselves: “if I am already walking, I will take advantage of it to read some pages”. This self-motivation to take advantage of the time of the walk and at the same time to read or write, generally works and moments after doing so we find ourselves developing these activities enthusiastically and we did not even realize that a long time had elapsed and with several pages of reading or writing. This also happens the other way around: reading -or writing or drawing- is sometimes the activity that promotes and encourages the walk.
You can find more information in this other writing that I wrote: HOW TO WALK WITH ENTHUSIASM?
We must use any motivation that drives us to take the first step, or to read the first word, the rest comes by itself.
