Hey everyone, my name is Tony and I write about living a more active lifestyle to battle depression and anxiety.
During my middle and high school years, I was an overweight, sleep-deprived, and depressed kid.
I lacked self-confidence in myself and would do things to please others, which led to people regularly walking all over me.
Because I didn’t want to be a burden on them, I would sit there and take EVERYTHING people would say about me.
It led me down a very nihilistic path where I wanted to end my life.
I hated how I looked, felt, and thought.
It was not until I hit the lowest point, however, that I started to make some changes.
I was unhappy with how I looked, so I started working out.
At first, I hated it... and then I noticed a couple of things.
I slept better.
I felt better.
I thought better.
And eventually, I started to look better.
After these changes, I was hooked.
My sleepless nights stopped.
My suicidal thoughts went away.
I became someone different.
An active lifestyle saved me: it helped me discover who I truly was beneath the depression and anxiety.
For years after, I would use exercise to manage my stress levels with college, my corporate job, and onwards.
And while I worked that corporate job, there was an entrepreneurial flame within me.
I wanted to help people out on their journeys.
And I discovered what my calling was in my experiences, my story.
I wanted to help more live actively to battle depression and anxiety.
Living with these things suppresses who we truly are as people.
They can consume us.
If I could help you, even just a bit, with a more active lifestyle, I will be doing my part.
And as such, I decided to not only write about this but create a movement around it.
I created Reforged to help others live a more active lifestyle to battle their darkest monsters.
Our mission is to help people discover who they truly are through activity.
An active body makes a more active mind.
And to me, movement has meaning.
Active movement can bring about meaning in your life.
Years ago, I realized I wanted to live when I was running my nearly 13-minute mile gasping for air.
Today, I want to show you that your life has meaning, and there's meaning in the struggle of pursuing to be greater than you are now.
I can’t wait to see what you’ll become.
Until next time!
I used to not be a morning person.
At the start, I often felt groggy and unmotivated, dreading the start of each day.
I experimented with various methods like waking up insanely early, yoga, and affirmations.
These things didn't bring me the positive boost in mood and energy I needed.
However, through this trial and error, I learned that the key to maximizing my morning energy lies not in rigid schedules or extreme measures, but in cultivating a balanced routine that prioritizes energy and a better mood.
In this post, we will explore five effective strategies you can add to your morning routine to boost your morning energy levels.
