@freeze sfc415 Last week was bad for me. I was stressed, depressed, paranoid, anxious and just drank so much beer to mask everything. I'm actually sick of drinking beer and I love craft beer I woke up Monday and said **** it. I don't want to gain 10-20 pounds from this. I've been using my treadmill ever since. I'm using some of the free time I have after working from home to learn web development. I'm trying to encourage some of my friends to do the same. I'm trying to save Netflix and whatever else for the weekends before I run out of **** to watch.
I understand, and I haven’t been drinking for that reason too. Just for me personally, having goals during this time helps me not focus on the stressful situation as much. Almost everything I’m doing daily outside of work is to achieve something 3-6 months from now. In my head I’m trying to trick myself into thinking I’m like Adonis in Creed 2, where he just goes to the desert for a few months to get back in fighting shape
It’s helped me a lot to maintain a “regular” schedule and maintain discipline too. Wake up early, get ready as if I’m leaving the house, work, exercise,study, cook, clean a different area of my place each day,catch up with friends before going to bed. I bought a few video games but haven’t even touched them outside of the weekends; I keep myself so busy that I just don’t have time for them.
