Just getting dressed into exercise clothing can be enough to make you think, \u2018Well I\u2019m dressed for it now, I might as well go for a walk\/ run\/ gym session\u2019. If the thought of a sweaty training session doesn\u2019t get you out of bed, break it into smaller steps.

A grilled or pan-seared salmon fillet with steamed vegetables takes about 10-15 minutes to go from sitting in your fridge to sitting on your plate and, by the time you have prepared your meal, you will feel not only a sense of achievement, but also rightfully proud not to have slipped into choosing the easy option.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-beb1745 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"beb1745\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-538e6ce\" data-id=\"538e6ce\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79e0dd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79e0dd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">However, all of this becomes a whole lot easier once you have cemented some healthy habits into your life.

It could be as simple as lacing up your running shoes or putting on your gym gear, or even just forcing yourself to roll out of bed when your alarm goes off.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Choose an activity that you enjoy.<br \/>Or at least choose one that you think you might enjoy. It\u2019s much easier to overcome a lack of motivation if you are looking forward to whatever it is you have planned.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Incorporate something you already do.<br \/>For example, if you stop for an espresso at your favourite coffee shop on the way to the gym it\u2019s easy for the whole routine to become a habit. Or turn your dog\u2019s morning walk into a run together \u2013 your dog will love you for it and you\u2019ll have an enjoyable healthy habit that you never want to shirk.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Write down your goal.<br \/>Or your commitment to yourself (for example a pre-breakfast walk on 4 days this week) and stick it somewhere you will see often, such as your bathroom mirror or fridge door. Seeing it first thing each morning and last thing at night will help you remember why you started and to stay focused.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Be flexible.<br \/>If you had planned a killer leg day at the gym but you feel like you have no energy, make a deal with yourself to go to the gym and just do 2 sets of any given exercise. The way we humans work, it is likely that you will end up staying longer but, if not, at least you have done something towards your goal. If it\u2019s raining and you had planned to do a run outside, consider using a treadmill instead or even switching to a gym session or fitness class. Something is always better than nothing and consistency (moving in some way each day) trumps perfection every single time.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Recruit a buddy or even a team of buddies.<br \/>Some people prefer to exercise alone but others do better with company. If that sounds like you, recruit a friend to be your exercise buddy (but be careful not to use it as an excuse not to go if they cancel on you one morning!) This works in all kinds of settings, from going to the gym or yoga together, to regular weekend hikes or bike rides with friends or family.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Outsource your motivation.<br \/>For many people, especially those with a busy lifestyle the fastest way to learn how to motivate yourself, or how to build those habits that allow you to do so is to make a commitment with a professional coach.
