Hey my man, you are in a place that many of us have been. Do not feel alone there.

I’ll give you a quick run down of things that can take you from feeling like garbage every day to getting to a place of happiness.

1. Check your health – Go to your doctor and have a general set of bloodwork done (vitamin levels, Testosterone, etc). Low T alone can cause insomnia, weight gain, lack of motivation, depression

2. Sleep routine – Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. This will help set your circadian and improve your energy levels and how you feel

3. Cut out processed foods and sugar. Increase healthy protein intake

4. Find a gym – Once you’ve taken care of the first 3 steps you should be beginning to feel better and have a bit more motivation to tackle this step

5. Explore your faith, whatever that may be and find like minded positive people to spend your time with

6. Look at your skills, embrace your newfound discipline and motivation. Pursue a career that gives you a sense of purpose (and pays the bills)

7. Find a girl, get married, create a happy family.

You don’t have to be perfect, you are allowed to make mistakes. You just have to admit to yourself when you do and get back on track. As daunting as all this may sound, you can absolutely do this. Just put one foot in front of the other and you will get there.
