As Lisa says in her article https://readmedium.com/how-to-get-yourself-to-exercise-ccc5330d6a83

Do yourself a favor. Don’t do it for someone else. Do it for yourself. No one benefits if you don’t start. If it means you get up a bit before everyone else that is OK.

Be ready. Make it a habit. Do it every time you get up. Keep the habit going. If you need that power nap Take it. Think of it like the handoff in a relay. Hand it off to yourself. Look at it as your second wind and GO.

Don’t start over. KEEP GOING.

The best practice is one that is Easy.

Keep it simple.

Keep it basic.

Do yourself a favor. Get in that habit and keep it going. Don’t wait for someone else to go first. Say to yourself

Let’s go.
