How do they do it?
Hello all. I've noticed people around me that are able to jump out of bed each morning and get ready and be energized and get through the whole day without taking naps or feeling exhausted and in general they seem so happy and I am wondering how do they do it?
Getting to a place of being less depressed/anxious is a big part of it. I'm not one of those high-energy people, I always want to keep hitting the snooze button, but my physical and emotional energy levels got way better once I got in therapy and on antidepressants. I used to need a lot of alone time to relax after spending time with people and I had trouble making plans outside work and a big part of that was that just a huge amount of energy was going into anxiety.
Also, sleeping and eating help a lot. I get really tired if I stay up too late (obviously) but I've also noticed that sometimes if I'm not eating regular meals it manifests more as extra sleepiness than feeling extra hungry.
