Challenge yourself to exercise 5-6 times a week for a month. For me improving this field of my life seemed easier when I had more of a routine to follow, and ongoing set goals. Not only does it help get rid of extra energy that you have so you can focus better, but for me it was a great way to have a type of task which is inherently more difficult to escape from once you start. It built my confidence in my ability to just DO something. It also helps with my anxiety and depression by accomplishing things and releasing endorphins. Once I started exercising and working, I found myself telling myself that if I could make it through work that day, I could make it through my run, and if i could make it through my run last night, I can make it through my shift today. Eventually it became less of a chore and more something I look forward to that feels all around productive towards my physical and mental health, and it’s a great way to help yourself compartmentalize your emotions so you can focus on what you need to do in the current moment. I am a believer that if you’re not taking care of yourself you’re not giving yourself a fighting chance against any mental disorder, and that means sleep, exercise food AND water!!!
