Exercising isn't as hard for me today as it was four months ago when I started my [**healthier me**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/how-jess-got-her-groove-back-the-beginning/) journey. But there are days when I really delay putting myself in the correct frame of mind and I find creative ways to procrastinate. 

Today was one of those days, when I just wanted to lazy around. But I did workout - even if only at 2PM, but still - and here is what I did:

- I get out of my pyjamas or [**loungewear**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/chic-comfortable-affordable-loungewear/) and **put on the workout clothes**. Even if I go sit in the couch right after, only by wearing it, the workout mindset comes crippling in

- I **dry brush** \- it's best before a shower or a workout, so it also gets me in that frame of mind. I learned all about it with this [**beauty-from-within brand**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/wellness-my-experience-with-french-beauty-brand-aime-skincare/).
- and then I listen and read out lout words of affirmation to self motivate, such as:

> I am thankful for my body and all that it has allowed me to do throughout the years. It has permitted me to grow and has kept me overall healthy.

By body craves exercise and it is getting stronger and leaner every day. I am healthy to exercise and I must honour that privilege. I am my own priority. Working out is for me and my self improvement. It is a part of my routine. I have a strong disciplined mind in a strong disciplined body. I will not give up. I will keep pushing, have fun in the process and celebrate all my progress. Let's go!
