This.
Personally, I find physical activity the best way to combat this. Last year I biked 4,000 miles commuting and on long weekend rides, lost 30lbs and feel super healthy physically and mentally. Now I attack situations in my business and personal life like a big hill climb. I know I am going to get through the pain, I try to embrace the pain because I know if I don't give up I will be stronger because of it.
- noir_lord 11y agoLost 60lbs last year and got back to a semblance of decent shape (used to be a exercise nut) that had a big effect but not the largest effect. That came from sorting out my sleep, I set an alarm for 8am and no matter how tired I was I got up at 8am, after 3-4 days I naturally fell into a proper sleep pattern (head down around midnight, asleep by half past). I've struggled on and off with insomnia since I was a teenager and this "up at 8 every day" approach has worked really well so far, sucks getting up at 8am on a weekend when you have nothing to do but tight sleep pattern is worth more.
