Vacations don't help. They are periodic relief from everyday stress that you feel guilty about. Vacations should be a treat, NOT a relaxation.
To relax every day:
1. Work out. I get up between 3-4am and (edit: low intensity) work out. 7 days/week. Improves my mood _every single day_.
2. Find something that relaxes you and do it every week. Golf? Do it. Massage? Do it. Sex? You get the idea.
The point is that the only person who can help you get what you want from this world is you. No silver bullet exists.
- expertentipp 9y ago> Sex? heh good one, where and how do I get it? On a serious side though I agree about finding a physical activity which make one feel positively and constructively tired and relaxed.
- cheez 9y agoIf you can't get it easily for free, or it would take too much time, pay for it. This goes for everything. I could easily have my girlfriend massage me, but I choose to get a professional. If my girlfriend is too busy for sex, I'm not going to bother her and/or beg.
- rorykoehler 9y agoWhat time do you go to bed at?
- cheez 9y agoBetween 9 and 9:30 most nights.
- rorykoehler 9y agoThis is fairly important information. In my experience most people go to bed much later so saying you get up at 3am is, rightly or wrongly, automatically associated with too little sleep. You get around 7 hours of sleep per night which is quite healthy and probably a more meaningful data point.
- cheez 9y agoMy alarm is actually set for 4:30 am, but my internal clock wakes me up between 3-4 for some reason. I do think I can use better sleep, but I think diet affects that significantly.
