For me it took a loooooong time of mostly failing to get out of bed, but occasionally convincing myself to get up and do something. Like half a decade. Once I get up and start there is almost always plenty of energy and it feels good, but the prediction you make when you’re lying in bed feeling shitty is that exercise is gonna suck and you’re gonna feel crap and what’s the point in even trying. It’s like I had to un-learn the prediction and train whatever makes those predictions to expect what really happens. I still fail sometimes, but those days are by far the minority now. I do think this advice on its own is mostly /r/wowthanksimcured because the advice people really need is the how of setting up a situation where they will actually get out if bed and get started. And I don’t have an answer for that because I think I did it the hard way and kinda got lucky.
