I highly recommend reading a book called Atomic Habits, one of the things he pointed out was instead of saying to yourself, I "have" to do this thing instead say I "get" to do this thing. And instead of focusing on a specific goal, try to become the type of person that reaches that goal, focus on the identity. Also I know the times when I don't want to do something and I end up doing it I feel a thousand times better. discipline is doing things you know you have to do when you don't want to do it.

Example: personally I'm running to get in shape for a marathon I have to switch the goal in my mind from goal oriented to the identity of a runner. I completely understand his point of view because when I did my first half marathon in 2021 I got in shape I ran the marathon and then I got lazy because I didn't have a goal, so now with my mindset of having the identity of a runner in my mind it's much easier to train.
