I'm bad at self-care, but I'm better at process and routine.
I've been East-coasting for the past 3 weeks, and have been hit hard with how inadequate my processes and routines are wrt exercise, attention to diet, and core strength.
Something's got to change. For me, if the change involves going to a gym, then the going to the gym has to be scheduled, routine, and not interrupting anything else. Also, if I'm going to a gym alone, it's super unlikely that I'll keep going.
The real downfall, though, is how I put conditions on it, such as: - "if it's just once a week, it's not enough, so it's not worthwhile." - "if it's worth that much money, I should be able to do it myself."
>:-| There has to be a solution, and I'm certain to be blocking the solution by misconceptions/resistances I already hold. Dammit.
