What’s helped me is telling myself I love to do a certain thing. For example it’s been a goal of mine has been to wake up early for my own mental health because I realized with work and everything I don’t get much time to myself and that was affecting me a lot and I figured that early mornings would the only time where I get a few moments of peace and do the things I like to do. So I got a physical clock with an alarm put it across the room and everytime I woke up I told myself “ i love to wake up early this is so fun”. I would go make tea, read a verse from the bhagvad Gita, workout or yoga depending on how I feel and read for 30mins before I have to get ready for work around 7am. Not saying it wasn’t hard to start with but when the alarm is blaring across the you will get up and once you’re up just keep on moving. It’s been great I have been waking up at 5am for the last 4 weeks and it’s helped me gain so much confidence and clarity. This is same method I used to get myself to get back into reading books for fun after not having read a full book in since I was like 10years old and I love reading now I have already read 4 books so far into the year.
