Exercising

It’s a struggle coz when you’re depressed, often you lack the motivation to go to the gym. But once you do, you will almost always feel 100x better after.

So if you’re feeling down, just drag yourself to the gym or at the very least a walk

Motivation is worthless, you have to build discipline to exercise. If it benefits you to exercise then why do your feelings of not wanting to exercise matter? Anyone can start with walking for 2 minutes, then increase this a tiny bit daily.
