Other people have had some good suggestions wrt exercise options. I'll answer on a different tack. As ever the case for free advice from random internet people, use your own judgment in applying to you.


I notice a lot of the things you're looking for from exercise aren't about the exercise at all, but about you.
What youlike, how youfeel, what fitsyour your particular dynamic needs and abilities...
There is no particular exercise that will all these qualifications (and at the same time, there are numerous ones that might work), because you're not describing what you need from an exercise, but what you need from your experience of exercising which is more than half about you --the attitude, effort, and abilities YOU bring to the relationship.

Patience, ambition, feeling of failure, feeling of enjoyment, bypassing executive function limits, those are completely independent of the type of exercise you do; they're more like skills or mental habits of their own. You may do better if you address those separately from the habit of getting X minutes of movement per day.

This guy has a lot to say about forming "sticky" and effective habits. If you're open to thinking of exercise in those terms, have a read:
