Jake Burhans says the trick to going to the gym consistently is shifting your identity. When you wake up believing you're a healthy person, your thoughts and emotions align with that identity, and the resistance to exercise disappears.
You have to change the identity. 'Cause think about it, I've always identified as a healthy person, right? Or not always, but when I was like, you know, younger and I was overweight, I'd made that switch. So when I wake up, I am like excited to go to the gym. I'm like, yes, this is who I am. Like there's no resistance for me to want to go to the gym. So I get up, I do the thing and I get in the car because I wake up and I'm like, the thoughts are positive, right? So the emotions are elevated. I have energy. I wanna go to the gym. And that drives my behavior, drives my actions, and does all the things.
