I know this isn’t a self help group and what not, but I’m trying to eat better, make a better living, change and create better habits, be motivated to work out and stay disciplined to tasks and a schedule.
Im just an average middle class joe, not in a bad spot and my debt is revolving (paid off every month). But I want to reach certain goals for years but can’t seem to find the motivation to reach those goals.
Biggest hurdle is WANTING to go to the gym in the morning. Need to prime my mindset somehow but default mindset is that gym is burden rather than gym is pleasure.
I use a white board that grids out simple goals like Make your bed, floss, play sports, read, journal, and clean room, and then goals that cater to me like body weight, no fap, muscle dimensions, and photography. I have a box for a week and make it like a 9 week thing and the first week i just try to do as much as i can then next week i try to beat if I cant thats ok cause then next week i try to beat the previous week I dont look at my best week and compare I just try and beat the previous week and move on when i cant. Progress takes time and understanding that is key, be humble and understanding with yourself.
I need to start doing this again. When I had a schedule written down, I was following through. At some point, I fell off track (probably travels) and was easier to not continue that process. Didn’t realize the impact it had until it was too late
