Got my dad to do the same. I actually made him start with just 1 minute of each. He is upto 10 minutes after a month. Plus has started weight training. He is 60.
I guess the main takeaway is do the smallest possible interval you can ( have no excuses to not do) and don't beat yourself about it. Build it up gradually
2. Meditate - 15 minutes
3. Write - I usually write "3 things that I am grateful for" and "3 things to focus on that particular day"
Muslims pray when they wake up, pray in a meditative mood, and when praying, think about the things they're grateful for, and what they hope Allah will let them achieve.I find what you do and what they do sound similar to some degree.
It sounds kind of corny, but it's effective. The idea is to get your brain to automatically associate a new habit with a really tiny action that will instantly give you a reward. So if you wanted to create a habit of brushing your teeth after getting up, you'll do it without much though even thought you only consciously brushed one tooth when you were trying to create the habit.
