Schedule It
Good habits must be scheduled. They are not part of your normal, everyday routine, so there is little chance you will spontaneously feel like engaging in your goal behavior.
Habits are built on the inertia of routines. This new habit has no movement yet, so you must force the situation. By scheduling the event, you build your whole hour, afternoon, or day around it, which improves the likelihood of you completing the target behavior.
This also allows you to employ a number of tools to remind you of the event and reinforce the behavior. Setting a series of alarms, reminders, and notifications will make you aware of the scheduled activity and more likely to tackle it on schedule.
Why are you so emotional? It can be really hard to tell, so take practical steps to assess your physical and mental wellbeing.
