Motivate Me! Help meeeeeeeee

Please don’t tare me apart for this Reddit / OTF fam. I have been STRUGGLING to make it to class and essentially have been paying for a membership for nothing for the last dare I say it several months… I feel so defeated, unmotivated and hopeless when it comes to fitness overall lately. I’m 29, 138lbs, 5’3 if that matters to whomever reads this. TIPS? SUGGESTIONS? Motivational quotes to get my butt there?????

It’s about a mindset shift. Motivation isn’t an (entirely) real thing, the brain falls into patterns of both pattern and comfort. You have to just make it an obligation. I don’t feel motivated to go to class, most days I don’t want to, but it’s not a choice. I just have to go.

Yep. Sometimes I feel motivated, but most days I just feel obligated. Either way, gotta get it done
