have more self motivation

Any suggestions?? I can list the things I want to do:

exercise
study
clean the house
have a party
get caught up on errands
etc.

but actually getting the motivation to DO them is a different matter. I try and talk myself into action “You’ll be happier when the errand is finished”, but it doesn’t seem to work very well.

So 43ers, how do you motivate yourselves??

to exercise and do some of the things I need to do. Part of my secret is that I have to operate on auto-pilot. If I think about what I am supposed to do, I come up with lots of justifications as to why I shouldn’t do them at this point in time. Crazy.

It’s the foundation for many of my other goals. As the weather is nicer, it’s easier to be more motivated. I am so dependent upon the weather for my energy.

And go outside and run or bicycle or just walk. Hmm, a walk in the mountains sounds like a plan. Let’s see if I do it.

I just don’t seem to have the motivation to get moving on them. Why is that? I’m not lazy. Is it because I can’t stay focused on a goal long enough to get motivated?
