The activity you enjoy is easier to return to than the one you endure for appearances.

Anything sustained over years runs on wanting to do it, not on believing you should. The activity chosen for how it looks, the impressive sport, the respectable hobby, needs a fresh act of will every single time, and eventually there is a week with no will available. The one you actually like has a much lower cost of re-entry. That difference decides which is still happening next spring.

Ask honestly, about anything that has lapsed, whether you miss it or only miss the idea of being someone who does it. Put your limited energy behind the one you would do without telling anyone.
