For me it's sometimes a matter of finding out what disrupts me from Doing The Thing.
I have exercise goals too, but right now I have a pretty random schedule which means working out at random times, which in and of itself isn't bad! But I'll get wrapped up in a task and forget to workout. For me a good trick is to set a timer to snap me out of my task so I get up and go exercise. I'm still working on remembering to set the timer but hey, baby steps are still progress.
So my advice is to think about the things that stop you from Doing The Thing, in this case exercising and going out more. Even if they seem stupid or that you should just be able to ignore them, pay them their due if they derail things, it's often the small things that end up being the most difficult so don't be shy in admitting something like 'I hate the color of my gym socks, I got them because they where on sale but now I hate them.' Wear fuzzy socks with adorable baby lamas on them if that's what works!
The point is to figure out what does work for you, and does not work for you, and lean into what works.
