Motivation is trash, until you have the discipline you’ll always fail at it.

Most of the shit posted in this subreddit is bad advice. My ADHD having would have done this if it could. There's no off button. You can try meditation but that takes time and concentration to master, of which I have none. The only thing that came close was the ketamine I took for my depression but sadly it was only temporary.

It sounds like you're wrestling with a bout of depression, I would highly advise you to get in touch with a therapist. If I'm right it's probably the last thing you want to do, but the longer you put it off the more these feelings will manifest and become harder to handle. It's best to try and nip it in the bud.

I don't do gyms. I prefer hikes and vigorous walks on my property. I live in the mountains so they can be pretty strenuous. I do these because I like being outside, but that's as far I look for motivation. Maybe you'd rather do something other than the gym, but after that it's all in doing the activity. Somedays I don't feel like doing it and I do it anyway. Motivation is a lie. It's a myth. If you look for motivation you'll never do anything. Regarding discipline, you don't "bring back" discipline and you don't find it. You develop it by doing the same thing over and over no matter how you feel. That's literally what discipline is.

Just ask yourself, “who’s gonna lift the boats”

I have to reward myself. Sometimes it’s 10 peloton rides for a new video game or 1 ride for an ice cream sandwich. Is it the most healthy way of getting it done? No. But it works for me.

Love the results and recognize a hobby that you belong to. If you are good, you will know. Cardio or lifting

I was excited when I got my peloton tread back in 2020. It didn’t get a lot of use for several months and it wasn’t until I joined some peloton FB groups that I was motivated and then disciplined to make it consistent. I also bought their bike. I’m sharing activity with some neighbors and that is motivating. There’s been many times that I might not have wanted to work out and then I see the neighbor finished a workout and then I head upstairs and just get it done. Last year I earned over 20,000 minutes and I’m over 4000 minutes for the year so far. I’ve dealt with some overuse injuries, which is frustrating because I haven’t been able to lift weights in awhile. It just takes some time to develop the discipline.

There is no answer. It’s just your own discipline. Be disciplined.

It’s not meant to be fun or motivating. It’s just supposed to be a part of life like brushing your teeth. When you get to the point that not going to the gym feels off, that’s a good sign.
