For a second I thought--except for the Roger part, because I don't know a Roger--you had invaded my mind. That sounds exactly like my internal dialogue. Great list of tips, too. I have found them very useful ... when applied. Love your opening, Mark. For a second I thought–except for the Roger part, because I don’t know a Roger–you had invaded my mind.

Yes exercise is equally (if not more) effective than antidepressants-and, of course, without all the nasty side-effects. My caveat would be that too much exercise ("chronic cardio" every day)needs to be avoided as when we consistently over-exercise we end up with more stress hormone in the body (just the same as when we depress)but lots of walking, gentle jogging, weight bearing exercise, yoga and such like constitutes a very effective "antidepressant life style" Mark Hi Nitin and thanks.

When you don't feel like exercising, commit to doing it for just 10 minutes knowing that, if it doesn't feel good, you can stop. Anyone can handle 10 minutes. It breaks the inertia and most people complete their full exercise routine. In the event that they don't, 10 minutes is still better than no minutes and they can feel good about it.

They say that whenever you think about doing something do it. OR whenever you see a new productivity tool, just go and knock something off your task list. Great advice. The first tip is a great one.
