You just need to do something enough times that you can identify a positive feedback cycle, and then go from there. Don't expect to wake up one day and consistently start running every morning, that's a really absurd bar to try and hit out the gate. Just try and do it 3 times a week whenever you can and build on that. The overwhelming majority of people who've come to rigid early routine have come to that point either out of necessity, optimization, iteration, or habit, and what clicks is going to vary between people.

People who don't go to the gym at all think they'll sign up at the beginning of the year and from zero make a life-changing routine change by the next week; gyms know this and take advantage of it to the point that many would go out of business if not for people failing to motivate themselves in that first month enough to start doing one of the hardest daily activities first thing in the morning 5 times a week.

If you don't like running, just do something else, sometimes; running sucks if it sucks and doesn't if it doesn't. Optimize if the nature of the activity seems like something you can find doable/enjoyable/rewarding.
