I definitely suggest that you start out small if this is a hard thing for you. For example, instead of making a commitment to getting up at 5am, make a commitment to get up 5 minutes earlier than you did yesterday. You can slowly build up to a level of greater self-trust.

Our commitment to do something is our mind/heart's determination to stick to our principles, to not give up in the face of adversity. These things, in my opinion, are what compels us to get things done.

Internal commitments allow us to create the lives we want without the fear of outside factors. The prospect of losing weight, for instance, should dismiss the fear of the seductive chocolate cake because that is outside of us, and the strongest reality is the one that we, ourselves, create.
