Just do something.... and then don't think about it. A few sit-ups, a short walk, whatever... on some of the days.
Then you'll adjust a bit and then do a little more of something. I do 12 hour shifts and it takes a while to adjust to. Once I stopped beating myself up about not meeting certain goals, working out a certain amount, fitting in whatever, and just did something when I felt I could and nothing when self-care was in order, and outside of that stayed just cool and neutral as much as possible.. it was like it crept up on me. Being able to do more and better and prioritize and such.
That's just me, one example, though, saying what I would say to myself looking back... I can't be sure we are all so similar but I think keeping it positive and not being disappointed with yourself and accepting yourself as human is a good prerequisite for anyone.
