Where is the “smallest nudge” sufficient to give you the momentum you need?
For instance, while struggling to exercise, I found that just going and physically touching my treadmill each morning was enough. It was a small enough commitment that it didn’t take much energy and didn’t meet much resistance, but it caused me to consciously reconnect with my desire to exercise, each morning, such that I found myself more naturally thinking “okay, when today might be a good time to do this?”
Yeah, my first suggestion is some kind of (extremely) low-effort ritual, early in the day, that causes you to notice the potential for taking a walk, without any pressure to do anything about that fact.

This is interesting. Given that I do not have a treadmill, and want to go for actual walks, what would be your suggestion? Perhaps touching my shoes?
