How do YOU do it?

Just say to yourself "do it now" and do it. No hamstering, no rationalization. It takes time to internalize it as a habit, but believe me after couple of months it becomes second nature. Applies to everything.

A long life of not doing anything and not getting my dreams realized. After realizing nobody's gonna hand anything to me I know that if I watch a movie instead of working out (or whatever else) I'll have failed myself.

Starting a new habit demands willpower. Youve only got so much willpower to expend on a given day. Take each change, focus enough willpower to make sure that just that gets done along with the existing habits of your life. When the new habit is built into the order of your life, start again with a new habit. This also helps for addictions. Maybe youll find you can take 2-3 news habits on successfully for a week, but the idea is to give your willpower a load that it can manage

As a person who suffers from depression, it's my cure to not feel like shit through the week.

You will come to a point and realize you can't lose the progress you've made in the gym. The only thing left is to keep climbing higher, and push new PR's, which greatly helps with depression, and confidence.

Make it so not going to the gym is going to make you let someone down. My advice is get a gym buddy. Then you feel bad saying you can't go to the gym 1 day because you'd be making your friend go alone.

For waking up early, it's the same thing. You might need something pressing in your life to wake you up. Besides a job, one thing that can get you out of bed is having pets. My cat always forces me to wake up and feed it by jumping on me at 6. A dog might be better, because you can go for a quick morning walk with it and clear your head, meditate, and think about what you have to do the rest at of the day and how you plan to do it.
