I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I wouldn't take any of these responses seriously. You're a lot more likely to get good answers from /fit/ or maybe /adv/. We're not a health board we're a finance board.

Having said that, do you exercise enough? Do you sleep enough? Do you have a consistent schedule?

Make sure you know what you are telling them though. They might try to push some other useless drug on you instead.

Stress.

You can influence your subconscious slowly and over time by limiting stressors in your life and changing your source of motivation from the "stick" to the "carrot".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressor

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning

Someone exposed to negative reinforcement, especially during childhood, will see an increase in the part of their brain responsible for fear and anxiety, the amygdala. Most visible in people with PTSD.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3181836/

I am far from an expert, so let's not jump to any conclusions about the source of your anxiety. However it is useful to try and understand the science.

Imagine someone who has only experienced negative reinforcement. What happens when they escape their drill instructor and are left to do things on their own accord? Will it stick? They're not going to punish themselves when they do something wrong, they will have no motivation.

What happens if positive reinforcement was used? They will associate the work with positive emotions, their instinct will be to work then reward themselves with a beer after work.

>more energy from exercising

Nope that shit makes you more tired.

I think diet is a much better approach. Try eating different ways and see what works for you. I personally have noticed some pretty paradoxical shit where I have more energy when I eat light (1700 or less calories a day) and make sure that I spread that out over the course of the day. It can be uncomfortable because my first instinct is to eat till I'm stuffed but it works. I think eating a lot in one sitting fucks with your insulin and also putting a big digestion work load at any given time makes you feel tired.

And one more thing, make yourself wake up at the same times every single day. Work day or not. When you get in a good sleep rhythm it makes waking up way less taxing.

6-8 hours of sleep. I personally take 6 because anymore and i start to have nightmares and feel more tired if i take 8.

Put your anxieties away, most people have shitty childhoods but you need to move forward if you want anything to get done.

Remove all demotivating people from your life. Anybody who procrastinates, diverts blame or practices parasitism needs to go. I'm sorry if these are your loved ones but its the only way.

Organization is key: Write a list of things to do the day before. I like to do it the night before so its fresh in my head when i wake up. Be constantly aware of your mid term goals and make sure your small term goals are steps towards them. Personally i don't worry about long term goals, they are malleable and every one pretty much has the same ones. (that is the people competent enough to have them) Keep things neat or at least try to. Look in every Politicians, CEOs, hell most white collars homes and you'll notice that everything is in its proper place.

Turn your hobbies into rewards. Instead of playing games, watching movies or anime for 4 hours a day, give yourself 1 hour for electronic luxuries a day.

Do something physical, like exercise (start small like walking or swimming, or even pick-up basketball)

Also develop a vision of your life goals, like how you would like to impact others in the world or something, while also meeting economic needs. For example, I want people to be more motivated/inspired, and driven toward success, so I want to one day create a non-profit that does that for people an a large scale, using ads, street art (i.e. Banksy), etc. Ideally, I would like motivational billboards in high-traffic commuter areas for people to see before they start their work days, maybe some free online courses on motivation/self-discovery, etc. Therefore I'm pursuing a career in marketing and consulting, blah blah blah.

If you come to the realization that your job/career has nothing to do with life goals, don't be afraid to look for a new job or something.
