Age-old case of everyone else on the internet wanting you to be specific, but I’m open to the idea that you don’t exactly know what it is either and just need a starting point. I don’t know a thing about remedies for the psyche, but have you been taking good care of your bodily health?
Get some good sleep every night. That doesn’t mean the 05:00 grindset, but just something you can stick to every day, even if that’s getting up 90 minutes before your job or obligation if that’s what it takes to be consistent. Go outside for a stroll, however aimless, get your blood flowing and maybe bundle that with getting the mail or whatever. And perhaps eat well by cooking something you like, even something home-made that seems slightly indulgent won’t be as bad as the processed junk out there. Just things that will be good for you and will help you feel in charge of yourself.
Read books. Read entire books. Read a bunch of books that are on different subjects and genres. Try to read physical books over something that has a screen. If you want digital books try to get a device that does nothing but books.
Degrading in terms of physical capabilities? Mental capacity? Hearing? I think you’ll need to be a bit more specific here if you want any useful replies.
Yeah, my initial take was self-degradation. Interesting to see the variety of interpretations.
And in case self-degradation is what OP meant, I tend to remind myself “would I say that in that way to my bestie?” Pretending I’m mentoring a vulnerable kid/teen is also working.
What do you mean
