Exactly! Discipline is the word you're looking for. Don't expect the block to go away, instead accept it will exist and you're going to go through it every day. I've worked out nearly every day for 20+ years at this point. It's just something that happens.
Another thing to think about is that people tend to avoid being uncomfortable. It's a super power to become comfortable being uncomfortable. Look for opportunities to train yourself to be uncomfortable, however small.
- HPsquared 2y agoA great trick for being "uncomfortable thinking about doing something" is observing when it happens. Like, consciously observe "oh, I'm feeling uncomfortable about this". Often the signs are really evident from paying attention to the body - tension in the back or stomach, for example.
