All good tips otherwise. I would add a somewhat controversial one: sometimes you need to make up excuses for people who insist that you should be doing something else.
Some trivial (and usually correct) "excuse" like "it helps me stay fit/improves my mental health/etc." keeps it from sounding like "I just don't want to do more work/chores, I want to do something useless instead" to those people.
It also adds an implicit question for those people: what are you doing to stay fit/sane etc. ;)
Thanks for noticing the typo, fixed now! Great tips also. I didn’t even think about the excuses cause I don’t have kids or any such people around me needing attention and convincing me to work on something else. The other tip is also great for changing the mindset to a one where you realize you are working towards your own body and happiness. I’ll definitely involve this in practise next time I need a pep talk.
