Go to the "mindset" section in the "classroom" tab to find the course I uploaded on motivation. I've also posted it here for your convenience! What good is setting a goal if you don't actually go out and do it? I've got you covered on how to fix that 👍.

"I'm waiting for motivation, then I'll do it!"
You've got it backwards!
You get motivation from results, and you get results from action!
The secret is to aim low. I mean super low. If you're struggling to get workouts in, your goal should be to just get dressed for the gym.
If you're dressed for the gym and have your shoes on, you're more likely to get into the car. If you're in the car, you're more likely to drive to the gym. If you're at the gym, you're more likely to warm up. If you warm up, you're more likely to exercise.
In this example and in the video I'm talking about physical activity, but you can apply this to everything. If you aren't motivated to weigh out your food, just set the food scale on the counter with a plate already on it the night before and try to just weigh your first meal of the day. You'll be more likely to weigh lunch if you do. If your goal is to go to bed earlier, try to go to bed just 5 min earlier so your routine doesn't have to change that much. If your goal is to eat more vegetables and you hate them, try to just eat 1 broccoli or baby carrot or whatever your most tolerable vegetable is with lunch. You'll be likely to have 2-3 more.
The hardest part is just starting. Make it super convenient to make that first step happen for you. If you can just put in the effort to accomplish a small task that gets you started, you'll be much more likely to follow through with the goal at the very end.
Watch the video to explain what I mean.
Here's a graphic to summarize what I mean as well.
