I’ve came to conclusion that I should do the things that will improve my mental health.

Like I do an intense run at night so that it’s easier than running in the sun. I will do a consistently challenging run that always gives me consistent but not intense pain. It’s working out and just a great way to practice mental fortitude.

I guess I just decided novel things are great

    I think the key to mental health is having firm and effective boundaries and ensuring your needs are met. Rip the bandaids and get toxic shit out of your face basically ha

    There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. For me, I stay positive by regularly weight training, eating home-cooked meals, meditating when I feel overwhelmed, and reading Marxist-Leninist theory. The rest of my life, my hobbies, relationships, job, etc. all are ways I find purpose, meaning, subsistence, pleasure, etc, but the bedrock described previously helps me better carry out the latter.
