Muscles 03/02/21 3:11:12 PM #1:	Started losing weight when I started my job a bit under 2 years for the fact that it was more physically demanding than my last job (its not that bad but my previous job was super easy). Last year I also cut out sugary drinks and about 3 weeks ago I cut out pop and energy drinks in general. I also started working out again 2 weeks now that we have an elliptical at home, I have started feeling better but it made me realize how shitty I felt before. --- Muscles Chicago Bears \| Chicago Blackhawks \| Chicago Bulls \| Chicago Cubs \| NIU Huskies <cite>Muscles posted [p:951260367] in What else ...

JigsawTDC 03/02/21 3:14:20 PM #2:	If you don't already, start taking a fish oil/omega-3 supplement and a vitamin D supplement. Most people don't get enough of either and both contribute significantly to the functioning and health of your brain. Meditate, practice mindfulness. If you've never done it before there's a pretty decent show on Netflix called Headspace that can get you started. They also have an app. <cite>JigsawTDC posted [p:951260487] in What else ...

Maybe try some things also more directly related to keeping your mind healthy (not that exercise doesn't do that). Meditation and mindfulness like TDC suggested.

I'm pushing off starting the series myself because I've been burned by both GRRM and Patrick Rothfuss and I'm hesitant to start another incomplete fantasy series, but I've also heard these are largely standalone even though it's a series...

JigsawTDC 03/02/21 3:34:03 PM #15:	Muscles posted... Sorry, I have tried meditation before but never got far, I should look into it more though I was teasing no need to apologize lol. But yeah, meditation can seem difficult or boring at first to many, but it really can go a long way to helping improve your mental state. There have been studies that show people who regularly meditate have certain areas of their brain that are more developed. It's like working out, but the "muscle" (organ really) you're strengthening is your brain. <cite>JigsawTDC posted [p:951261235] in What else ...

BADoglick 03/02/21 4:44:33 PM #20:	In addition to vitamin d and fish oil, you should take magnesium if you were consuming too much sugar. It helps regulate your blood sugar levels. Just don't take more than the recommended dosage or you'll have some strenuous poops. If you're feeling low and under stimulated, try tyrosine. It helps to increase dopamine production.
