If you wake up early everyday and have a set routine. Enjoy a cup of water after you wake up to get a little motivation. Take at least ten minutes out of your morning  to exercise. Exercising will help you get motivated and to be more healthier. Take the time to go to the gym maybe three to four times a week. or take a Zumba class, or simply do workouts at home. Personally Zumba is my favorite. It helped relieve stress, it has gave me more motivation to push harder for myself. It's not for everyone , everyone prefers to do what they are comfortable with.
