Thanks for this, Chris. I'm glad you speak openly about these challenges; it makes a difference for people like me, who share a lot of them. Setting what I see as an impossibly, stupidly low goal helps TREMENDOUSLY. It lets me check off a box and amaze myself by surpassing it.

Really good strategy. For me, getting outside is also imperative—I have dogs so that helps in that area. I also have the same issue with perfection & exercise. Also meds make me gain weight so it’s a struggle when I’m on them for the winter months.

Thanks Chris. I have a similar story. I used to be on serious anti anxiety meds that I chased with vodka in between drags of Marlboros. 15 years ago i started going to the gym every morning. Sometimes lifting, sometimes walking, sometimes just stretching... but i went everyday 1/

It became my routine. If I had a terrible day, I went and walked slowly on the treadmill. Eventually I quit drinking and smoking. 10 years ago I was able to slowly wean myself from meds. I lost 70 pounds. I still get anxious, but the exercise keeps me from crashing like before
