Tired of empty

I'm going insane. How can I stimulate my brain? I need to have the ideas flow and absorb information.

Give your system a jump start.

- Exercise. It generates mood boosting endorphins.

- Read funny stories and watch funny shows. Humor also generates endorphins.

- Eat healthy, and enough of it. A healthier diet will boost your immune system and is also good for your mind. Skimping on amount of food leads to depression, crankiness, and being more prone to get sick.

- Get enough rest. Being tired leads to depression, crankiness, and being more prone to get sick, too.

- Listen to and/or play music. This is mood boosting.

- Take courses, either in person, or online. Some of the online ones are free. The in person ones are a good way to meet people.

- Volunteer. There are people worse off than we are, who would really appreciate the help. It's also a good way to meet people, and boost your self image and mood.

- Take up a hobby or join a club. These are good ways to meet people who share your interests.

- Get involved in community activities. Attend town meetings, events at local libraries and other local organizations. Attend local sporting events, fairs, and art shows. Attend and/or participate in local theater groups. These are all great ways to meet people and boost your self image and mood.

- Employment/or self employment. Great way to meet people, boost self image, put money in your wallet, gain experience. Since you have been having trouble finding work as an employee, perhaps you should consider self employment. There are many types to choose from.

Now, get off your duff and go do something!

Go to alison dot com. They have a large number of free courses, including free diplomas. Math, science, health, IT, business, etc. I should point out, these are actually courses you DO, and are tested. Alison seems popular.

1: I'm taking a math course and it's devouring all my time. I hate math and would rather be watching football, and I hate that sport.

2. I try excersising, but there's a motivation issue. This raises another question about where to get the energy.

3. I do have a hobby. Magic: The Gathering. I also read and write but I have this mental block. I can't concentrate on either and new information can't stick.

4. After all the math I'm doing in one day, I like taking the night off and prefer to make it last.

5. I feel as if eating healthy eventually gets repetitive.

6. Employment's not very common around here and where I could be hired, I'll just end up standing at cash register with no interaction other than with customers.

7. I don't enjoy getting involved with my community. I always get made fun of for my condition.

If you want free courses, you can also go to http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm and take any online course from there. There are so many courses from all disciplines!

Or, you can draw stuff, like me!

Now stop making excuses for yourself and get cracking.
