Quality of life improvements

Cutting back on drinking helped me tremendously.

Here is what i did that worked for me, YMMV:

1) change careers (jury still out on this one)
2) eat healthier
3) do some form of exercise
4) get involved in something
5) get some accountability
6) get more sleep
7) get your testosterone levels checked (mine were double digits before, now Im in the 750-800 range and a complete 180 from how i was feeling)

Personally my wife and I decided to move to a smaller town (Waco) for the quality of life improvement. No traffic, no 2 hour commutes daily on 635, home by 5:15 each day which allows us time with our kids and to get them involved. Started eating healthier, got back to being active and got involved. When we lived in the metroplex sure we made more money but we always got home around 6:30-7pm, ate, got the kids in bed, then crashed and it was a never ending cycle. Weekends were either crammed with activities or sleep sessions to catch up.

I cut back on alcohol a good bit. It has greatly helped mental clarity and my waist line. I don't sleep as well though. To fight that I try to hit the gym hard when I go. It helps me get a little better nights rest.

Simple things, like regular sleep patterns and increased water intake does wonders for me.

Take up photography and actually learn to use the camera. Start really digging into the history of your town or area and go visit those spots.

This is a good thread, lot of good ideas in here. I'm about to be 32 and I have been feeling the same way for a while now. I stopped drinking any kind of soda, and only drink water now, with the exception of an energy once in a while.

I think exercising will help too, so I'm either going to start working out or running again. I'll probably stop drinking so much alcohol also. I'm getting divorced right now so I feel like this would be the perfect time to change.

Have you identified what is causing you to feel drained? sounds like you're in a rut and need to try something new.

Not exactly, the caffeine thing really seems to effect me. Between having a family, another child on the way, and trying to work on my racecar in the wee hours because I need to spend time with the family, it's kicking my ass. But even when I'm not dealing with that I don't have much energy, I was running and it was great but my knees have been hurting pretty bad so I am trying other things. A friend of mine really got into yoga, any here tried it?? no homo
