Motivation

[Anonymous]

ALSO, I'm cheap and not making DCUM middle class money so if I'm paying for a fitness class I'm going to be sure I get my money's worth! That's motivating for me.

You cannot rely on motivation. You will never be consistently "motivated". If you decide that fitness is a priority in your life, you will fit it into your schedule, regardless of whether you "feel" like it.

I wasn't able to make fitness a priority when I was in the thick of child raising and career. Just not enough hours in the day, with broken sleep leaving me without energy to do anything more than the bare minimum. Now that my kids are more or less self-sufficient, I have the mental space and physical energy to include exercise. But it isn't "motivation" that gets me to the gym. It is knowing that exercise is what I need to do to keep my body working for the long-term, and something that I just "do". Kind of like brushing my teeth.

Discipline is hard too. Doesn't work for me and possibly OP, but what the person above you suggested does.

That person just explained discipline. "you need to..." "commit to" "make yourself"
