Dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins explained for men who feel flat - twenty concrete ways to rebuild energy, drive and momentum.
Anxiety often grows in the space where responsibility is avoided. Face what is yours to carry and the anxiety loses its fuel.
Five simple rules I use to reclaim time and energy from noise and obligations, and spend them building the life I actually want.
You are a victim. You're not to blame. Everything happens to you. Lack of money to fulfill your dreams is the fault of the government, oil prices, and rising rents. The reason why no one understands you is people are stupid. And why do you occasionally explode with anger? Your parents' fault. They didn't teach you how to deal with emotions.
Fear of failure kept me from starting for years. One remarkably simple reframe made trying cheaper than waiting - and things moved.
Do you remember when you resigned from asking her out because you were scared? You were sweating, thinking about what to say, and fear stopped you. I did that constantly, and asking girls out was my smallest problem.

You hate your life if you hate your job. Hate steals your mojo. You'd think it's only bad when you work, but it's a lie. The attitude you have for your job spills over your life.

We made a mistake when we took responsibility for our creativity. Now, whenever the results are not as planned, we feel doomed. And if we have succeeded in the past, we torment ourselves with thoughts like, "What if my great success is behind me?" However, if we assume we are the creative spark, there is no other way of thinking.
My life sucked because I was a basic bitch. I wanted what society wanted: Big house, new car, a lot of sex, and only fun. I've never considered what I wanted. Do the same, and you'll feel lifeless.
I felt like a gun shell. A bullet was fired a long time ago. Now empty inside. Without potential. There was no meaning in my life. The existential dread kept me up at night. I was afraid of going to sleep. Because of the fact I did nothing of value. And if you can’t sleep, you never fully regenerate. You become that empty shell.

Your brain filters reality to match what you focus on. Train it to spot opportunities and you start enjoying life now, not someday.
