I got moving by running errands. I felt sluggish and did not want to move, but after I felt accomplished.

I walked my dog today after breakfast. I typically feel sore and tired when I first get out of bed, but after that, those symptoms are reduced, and I feel more energized for the day.

I did some self-motivating, self-talk before starting my yoga session. I feel fatigued, tired, and stiff before I start, but after my spirit and mental health feel lifted and I feel motivated for the rest of the day.
