This is to answer a personal question of mine, as I've went through a burnout. Bummer but I'm knowing it's the weed and probably denying the fact that I'm juggling a lot.

Any tips out there? For people trying to be all you can be, or learning new skills. Whats up?

Nice thread OP, hopefully brehs can drop some jewels...

Lately, it just feels like I'm in a battle with time. Before, I was able to do some many things all at once. Now? This 9 - 5 Monday to Friday work life has really taken it's toll on me. I don't have the energy I use to. It also doesn't help how me and shorty been arguing nearly non-stop...yesterday we nearly ended things...

I've been riding my bike around the city, which I'm happy about. I bought it last year winter, determined to be riding by the time Spring was here. I'm happy of that achievement. But there's so many other things I love to do that I'm not doing anymore. Writing, reading, running, lifting weights, playing music, etc. I want to begin meditating.

I genuinely believe there's enough time for it all, I just haven't been giving myself a chance. Each day passes so quickly. I'm trying to slow time down but I can't.
Is this what your mid 20's feels like? :mindblown:

Have achievable end goals that give you something to look forward too.

Also have more immediate rewards that give you stuff to look forward too to get you through the day to day/week to week grind. Something like a concert you really want to go to or a weekend trip somewhere. Try to have one planned once a month.

Sleep enough so you don't need coffee. Work out. Eat healthy.

Don't give a fukk what the opposite sex thinks about you. When the right person comes along all you'll ever have to be is yourself.

Re connect with nature. That's our natural habitat as a species. Not concrete jungles or suburbia.

Respect bruv, I'mma try to get us all knowledgeable because this isn't spoken on as much.

How long have you been in your job for? Do you enjoy it?
You should start with the meditating, that's what clears my mind, when I get caught up mentally in everything. I lose myself ever so often and find myself lost for a couple of days. Try to do 10 minutes of meditating in the morning. You might need to tell shawty you need a little bit of designated space throughout the day.

It feels like it breh, I'm 24 and I'm trying to find reason and logic to all this. I think it's because we're going through that turbulence stage of our lives. Developing a conception of life while trying to do the things that we'd like while realizing the duties appointed to us because of our age.

I rock with this.

I need to do that plan a trip somewhere, especially during the summer.

I don't have a day off because I got school or work everyday.

True that about the opposite sex, and maybe that's what I need the nature, take some dro smokeout and leave my phone at home. Or no smoke and just exist in time.

Been doing 9 - 5 non stop since last year August. It's not that long ago (I was also in school) but only recently have I begun to take a day off here and there. The endurance behind school/work has always been tough for me. I feel it's critical for me to have some freedom. Time to just do me. Doing the same shyt daily seriously crashes me over time.

My meditation use to come in the form of running in parks. Something about pacing your body/mind, the trees, water, views, etc.

Turned 25 in February. Summer is nearly here. But yes, I should try meditating, even if it's a little bit. Recently I wrote out my perfect ideal day, printed it, and taped it to my wall. The fonts too small so I barely look at it. But I want to hold myself accountable and follow through with it. See how I like it. Gonna print a larger copy.

About to read your link now breh. Let's not let this thread go unnoticed!

Like 7 days a week nonstop? Dang. Word, well what do you do? Are there options to reduce your workload on either sides? Because perhaps you want something in life and don't need another. Are you trying to progress through the company?

Nice, yeah meditating is ok. And that's ok if it's little, honestly get used to taping things on yout wall like that, because we need those reminders of what we want or what we think or even what others think.

Anyway thanks.

I'm gonna post some inspirtng videos and stuff in here, let's achieve greatness as well as peace and indepeadence from the poisons of everyday life.

Some morning inspiration from some of the greats.
The-Real-Gatsbys-JP-Morganr.jpg

The Morgans were ‘the Rothschilds’ of the United States and, like the legendary European family of bankers, encouraged investments in the expanding industry through their loans and connections. John Pierpont Morgan was also one of the founders of Chrysler, the American automotive company. Today, JP Morgan is one of the biggest banks on Wall Street. Morgan legacy includes the prestigious Morgan Library in New York, and the exclusive Metropolitan Club. John Pierpoint also owned Matinecock Point in Glen Cove, on the fashionable Gold Coast; however, the estate, shimmering beneath the distant towers of Manhattan, was demolished in 1980.

The real Gatsbys: Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie & Co
