As a man, never neglect your mental health. Get that haircut. Hit the gym. Hang with the boys. Take yourself. Watch that game. Play that video game. Take that road trip. Spend time in nature. Get some sleep. Don’t get so lost in the grind that you forget to live.
How to get your spark back
- Go to the gym
- Buy new clothes
- haircut for men / new style for women
- travel somewhere you haven���t been
- Get closer to God
I'm 37. Instead of regretting that I can't wake up age 18 again, I pretend to myself that I'm 90 and I've woken up age 37 again, and that I get to magically, wonderfully have the next 50 years again.
My therapist dropped a gem: you can't spend your life avoiding heartbreak or bad things from happening. You have to condition yourself to have appropriate emotional responses but learn to keep moving forward.
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist.
If you're an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don't make everything a matter of life and death.
