My Excuses and Their Solutions
i have no motivation
i am too tired
cant be bothered
dont have time
its too hot
i have no energy
a solution for them all is for me not to think about it and just do it, just like i get up when the alarm goes off at 5am i should get on with exercise without any thought or excuses!
External Excuses Within My Control
its too late
i dont have time
im too tired after work
Solutions
as above just do it and dont think about it, it should be a reflex action to exercise rather than a choice.
External Excuses Outside My Control
Looking after the children
starting work at 6am waking up at 5am
Solutions
work around the time i have to look after the children and maybe get up at 4:30am and work out then.
there you have it, all the dumb excuses i came up with not to exercise, looking back they are so lame and stupid, i think now of how good i would be had i exercised instead of making excuses, but from now they end, excercise will be a natural act, like breathing.
I love how you've listed your internal dialog and some of the positive reinforcement you've identified for each.
