Hi, I've recently fallen into a slump of laziness and procrastinating/rationalization of important tasks. Fortunately I know how to fix most my issues but when it comes to working out, I struggle miserably.
I use to exersise upwards of an 1½ hour more each day, doing HIIT, strength training and cardio. I had a set schedule for every workout and rest day. I was always doing it on time, no matter what I felt like. Unfortunately after being off on vacation for a week I started to fall behind, my 2-3 month streak was reduced to nothing.
I think this was due to an underlying reason such as not having a good enough/shallow goal or overworking myself. I started doing 6-7+ hours of programming with ab 2 hours for Spanish learning and my workout time was always early in the morning. As a way to escape and obtain more free time I kept rationalizing why it was okay to skip and how I'd do it the next day with maximum effort. Unfortunately this wasn't true and I could barely do 20min without giving up out of boredom or desire to get other work done or have free time.
Now I'm here, only being able to get out bed for a few minutes just to crawl back in. I tried implementing new routines and making things fun. I tried remembering my goal and why I needed to do this. I tried lots of techniques I learned from videos and habits and focus. But I just couldn't stick to them, I no longer had the mental fortitude to face physical challenging work.
