I would suggest to you (and I think many therapists would agree) to make get your body moving again. You know that. Get your muscles and sinews engaged, start pumping endorphins, get some pink in your cheeks, and you'll start yourself on an upward spiral. Is there a running group near you?
(Also -- I am such a landmark forum ho -- but I think you might really enjoy doing the forum weekend. It's pretty remarkable for getting everything you want in your life. d'oh! I don't WANT to proselytize! It's just that I found it so valuable in my life, and I think you would, too.) |
Thank you, Angela.
Life purpose -- whoooo, tough question! I'm still not sure on that one, which is why I avoid those threads, lol. I've always wanted to live my life so that I put a smile on a person's face, even if that person is a total stranger. My priorities are creativity, adventure and human interaction. However, save for cheap thrills like hitting the arcade or a local open mic night, I'm trying to curb my adventurous streak until I get my responsibility in order -- primarily financial, career and social (i.e. I don't want to go into debt, lose my job, fall out of touch with my family and lose my long-term relationship in order to take a spontaneous backpacking trek across Asia... though it's very tempting at times!).
And you're right, I know I need to get my butt out and to the treadmill/sidewalk for a run on a regular basis. It's just hard when I'm already tired from demotivation, crash dieting and lack of sleep. However, finding the local Roadrunners club is a wonderful suggestion. I've suggested the same to plenty of people in the past but haven't actually done it myself. I'll put that on my list of things to do.
LOL, I'll take a forum trip, too. I find myself doing forum stuff in streaks. Maybe this is the beginning of another streak.
