Hype gets you started. What you do after the excitement wears off is who you are.

Excitement is real, it is just not fuel that lasts. The first week of anything runs on it, then week three arrives with no soundtrack and you find out what is underneath. Most people read that flatness as a sign they chose wrong. Usually it means the novelty spent itself and the actual work has started.
Decide now what the boring version looks like: twenty minutes, three times a week, no build-up. Write it somewhere you cannot miss. When the flat stretch comes you will not have to feel like doing it, only follow the plan you left yourself.
What did you keep doing after the excitement wore off?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
