Everyone is different. I can't say what will work for you, but don't forget to exercise, preferably outdoors. I started jogging because I was feeling down; a friend called and asked me if I wanted to train for a marathon with her. I didn't think that was feasible, but she convinced me and I started jogging. I trained with a running group that was made up of a large number of beginners like myself along with some good runners thrown in. I started by running one mile, not too fast the first group meeting. I settled into running with other beginners like myself. As time passed, I would run about four days a week. One run every week slowly grew longer and longer and the other three runs stayed about the same sorter distance for my entire 8 or so months of training. It turned out it wasn't too difficult with an organization that set our courses and suggested runs. I ended up losing weight and being in the best shape in my life at 50 years old, and I slept well every night. Importantly, it really changed my mood and I felt great. I had made new friends, had time to reflect on things while running, and had the satisfaction of reaching goals. At 55, I ran a qualifying time that allowed me to run in the Boston marathon. I have had other friends that despised running; they took up swimming or biking. All of these can produce positive effects.
