Completely unmotivated you have to think about why you started and if you don’t go now you’ll miss the opportunity to change your behavior and yourself. You made a promise to yourself to change and in getting up and out of bed is the first step, then put clothes on, listen to some pump up music and start putting one foot in front of the other. It’s not easy, if it was everyone would do it. Consistency is key, doing it everyday will be become routine.
Jesus P.
It helps (1) to picture how good I will feel afterwards; (2) to put a specific tangible goal that can be reached by doing this.

Reframe your mind:
1: remind yourself it’s a blessing to be alive and “get” to exercise
2: it is a treat to have time to yourself FOR you
3: Commit to something even if just 5 minutes or 3 sets of push-ups. Something is better than nothing
4: Take a moment to mentally recalibrate and focus on what the reward is of exercising and how you will feel after
