| I have to leave the house for work at 7am. I get back sometime between 6 and 8pm. When I get back I'm mentally and physically shot. I mean, yes I could get an easier job that pays less I suppose, lose the house etc. |

| ▲ | jimnotgym 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | That sounds like a good plan, thanks. It made me think an exercise bike right where I change from work, would make me remember to actually do it! Thanks again |

| It's also pretty insulting to assume that everything is equally easy for all people. |

| ▲ | nradov a day ago | parent [-] | | No one is assuming that. Everyone has their burdens. But gradual improvement is always possible. | | |
| ▲ | Forgeties79 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Your prior comment makes it sound like you assume it’s generally just about willpower and that external factors aren’t generally an issue. Is that accurate? | | |
| ▲ | nradov 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | No, is generally about discipline and building good habits. Willpower or lack thereof is largely irrelevant. I'm not convinced that willpower is even a real thing. | | |

| > People would rather blame external factors and not take responsibility. In my opinion the first step to taking responsibility is acknowledging reality. That reality can includes brains and bodies being different, sometimes extremely so. If someones brain or body is different but they deny it, stick their head in the sand, ignore it, then they are at a disadvantage when they try to take responsibility for something and may fail due to failing to acknowledging reality. |

| You can actually just choose to lock in.
And you don't need a perfect streak. Waking up early, working out and eating a nutritious breakfast is a perfect morning for probably 90% of people but our society is so broken that being healthy is associated with being either a grifter or a fascist. |
