With exercise I'd like to say that you shouldn't treat it as a daily quest in an MMO. You know "I have to do this today", if you forget you forget. Group activities with a fixed time slot are a bit better, because they create a greater incentive for a person to go out and do them. Sometimes there's also an after hour hanging out at the nearest pub, provided people can take the time.

Not to go too much into psycho analytics, yes, there is a trade off with time and energy for it... if you're starting out and always dropping out it's a sign that you're unwilling to go through that exchange of time and energy (or perhaps unable). But if the goal here is to simply a bit healthier you don't need to do much. Take it step by step, day by day.

I will echo on the self expression, that's an area I always low key suppressed thinking it's foolish but it's not. Frame that 80's Japaneses poster, buy that DAP player or vinyls, because the ambient of the room and aesthetics of cloths and accessories we use do matter. It can be a simple thing of simply getting a key chain for your phone or a sticker for your laptop. It requires come curation but I can honestly say that it feels nice. Perhaps it asserts a certain agency, as opposed to 1001 of soulless apps on a big screen all overseen by the big AI.
