How do you motivate yourself? I have good reason to with a trip to the tropics in late March but I just can't find the energy. I'd rather lurk and now shitpost on gamefaqs. Just do nothing after work.

Go straight to the gym after work. If you go home first, chances are you're not going to leave again. That was my biggest problem when I was struggling to get motivated.

You don't motivate yourself, you just do it. Even when it's rough. Aside from injury you have no reason not to do it. You can be like most people and just "wait for when the time is right" or you can get up and do it and take some sort of control over your life and stop blaming anything and everything but yourself.

Motivation is fleeting and an excuse to not do things. Rely on discipline instead. Just do it even if you don't want to unless you're injured or legitimately need rest. It gets second hand after a bit and you feel bad not exercising when you have it down.

This is good.

I also used to keep a bottle of whiskey in my gym bag and pregame before a workout.
