>physical exercise gets almost impossible to self initiate. This. The only solution I found is to force yourself to "just do it" first thing you get out of bed, no matter how much you feel mentally you can't do it. No checking phone, no opening the laptop, no making coffee, no eating breakfast, no staring out the window. Once you remove or block any other potential distraction, there's only one thing left you can do to get on with your day, which is to grab those dumbbells sitting on the yoga mat and get at it. It has to be my number one priority when I wake up, otherwise it falls down the list of responsibilities over the day and then never gets done.
