Why is it more exciting to start something new than to work on something you already started?

You start a relationship/course/activity/sport/etc and feel happy and energized, but then overtime things become less interesting. Why?

    It all depends on what you left behind. If what you left behind you love, there always is excitement in picking it up again and again.

    It is completely norml you lose your drive for certain things...

    for example a self-project.. it may be interesting to you at a time but

    then as time goes on you feel drained and unresponse to it. so the easiest and

    simplest thing to do is quit and start something new..

    same with relationships.. you get excited about it and first .. but then feel drained

    The best way to keep yourself going is to, before enetering somehting write down your goals.

    and when you feel discourageed ot look at your list and get the idea why you started it in the first place
