  • For the immediate symptoms, moving your body changes your mood. Take a 30 minute walk twice a day around sunrise and sunset to avoid the heat. If you have a dog, bring them along! Or just turn on some good music and dance it out until you’re out of breath. The point is, find a way to move without it feeling like the chore of a workout.

    Also drink water. Lots of water.

    To tackle the larger issue, figure out what your ideal life looks like day-to-day. Do you want to travel or be a homebody? Interact with many different people, or a close-knit team, or no one at all? Move your body a lot or sit at your desk? Own a penthouse or would renting your own apartment suffice?

    Once you know what your goals are, it will be easy to find a career that fits all the pieces. Then simply work backwards to determine what steps you need to take to get there. For example, maybe you want to be a homebody who works mostly alone and sits at a desk and owns a penthouse. You can then research what remote jobs pay a high salary and find the qualifications needed to land those jobs. Maybe it’s a certain college degree and 10 years of experience in certain job titles. Congrats, you now have a road map to follow. Go do it.

    Not gonna lie, I had no idea until this post that “mansplaining” was strictly considered male behavior. I’ve had women do the same thing when I’m in spaces or situations that are traditionally female dominated, and figured that “mansplaining” was the appropriate descriptor for that. TIL.



  • This was a big struggle for me at first. It used to be that I’d wake up on Saturday, knock out any chores, then go sit at the bar all day. I’ve found that my weekends are so much more interesting and full now, and feel so much longer.

    For example, I’m off today and took a nice walk with my dog. We saw several cute cats then chatted with neighbors. Then I went shopping and got a new book, and they gave me a coupon for a coffee so I sat in their café and read for a while. Grabbed some food then charged my car. Got home and beat an absolutely amazing videogame (Spiritfarer) and it’s only 2:30pm - I still have half a day to do whatever I want! I’ll probably hang out with a buddy for a while, take another walk with the pup, maybe cook a nice dinner, and videochat with a crush (we have a date tomorrow).

    It does take time and effort to get your mind out of the cycle of just doing things to get them done so you can go drink, but trust that life is so much more fulfilling once you get there.





  • Strong disagree. You can absolutely be friendly with coworkers and enjoy working with them without crossing the boundary into your personal life, and this is usually the best for long-term happiness at work. This is especially beneficial whenever people change roles and move to management - it’s exceptionally difficult to be a manager to a friend.

    Any company culture that expects you to be friends with your coworkers is a dumpster fire. Run quickly.

    I’ve worked in my current office for two years and don’t know the first thing about any of my coworkers beyond their name and specialization. No clue if they’re married or have kids, or what they do on the weekend. We never chit-chat. I am infinitely happier here than anywhere I’ve worked in the past.
