Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When the afternoon slump or a wave of anxiety hits, my reflex is to grab my phone, another coffee, or a snack
- The low mood has settled in and stayed, and I’m looking for something that actually shifts the underlying weight of it over time
- Around mid-afternoon my mood and focus just crater and I keep grinding at the desk trying to push through the fog
- My mood has been low and flat and I keep being told to go for a run, but I’m wondering whether picking up something heavy a few times a week would actually lift the cloud
- The low mood has me convinced I’m weak and incapable, and I need something that gives me hard proof otherwise
