@YS.
Now that is how ya give advice!
I know Chase had a really great post on depression that I need to read again but I think it is a mixture of a mental and physical problem but more of what
@Skills was on and what you are on. I know I have some form of depression or testosterone problem right now.
I have also really taken up drinking in the past couple of years, like getting really drunk! I think that might be an issue.
I kind of agree with others that you need to execute on the advice. (It doesn't matter whether you executed on advice in the past. The time is now, champ.)
I think Speed of Implementation could be the single greatest indicator of success.
Do a 3+ point action plan for all the advice you got here and start executing on it. FAST. Because you had like 5-10 threads in the last month or so asking advice on similar problems and people are pouring their hearts and minds for you trying to help you. It's a little disheartening if you don't act on it and then come back and put up a similar thread a few days later.
I don't wanna call you out and get you defensive, because from my experience that usually makes people lock-in even more but I understand why some people would do that. It's out of love and frustration.
I hope you get my point brother!
Some actionable shit:
- Read some macro life self-help books and execute on everything. Again my faves are Tony Robbins and Stephen Covey.
- Go deep and do some self introspection. Write about your life, visions, desires and goals and why you would have them. (You would automatically do this if you read TR or SC. Start executing bro.
- Do 3 things this week that will better your life and happiness. (read: Do fun nourishing shit that you like.) Call up friends/family, watch some movies, take up a fun hobby, read a great book.
- Start meditating. I like the app Insight Timer but if you're a beginner Headspace is always a good starting point.
- Do a no-negativity challenge.
- Start writing a gratitude journal. 5 min journal is a cool start, it's like 20 bucks.
- Make it a point to call friends or family. If you don't have any, make it a point to try to find some. Reach out to people, have a plan of doing it.
- Join a gym / do home workouts. Disciplined and planned. At least 3x/week.
- Get your diet in order. My fav books are the Ultramind Solution, the Mood Cure and the 150 Best Foods on Earth.
- You can get your bloodwork/aminoasids in order. T level stuff I don't know much about but if your diet and lifestyle is off your T levels and AA levels will be off also. CAUTION, because this could become an excuse of your inner game issues. But something to look out for. I take a lot of supplements for stuff like it. You can read about this shit in the Mood Cure. Get vitamins and basic supplements.
- Get your sleep in order. A good book is Sleep by the physio of Man United and Real Madrid, forgot the guys name but you can Google it. 7 to 9 hrs. PITCH BLACK. (Get a mask.) No alcohol 3 hrs before. No caffeine 6-7 hrs before. Get some sunlight when waking up.
Most of all, start DOING shit. Any of these would help you.
Much luck and much love bro!
