I swear by Eastern techniques and methods of balancing that get me out of this consume-everything + try-to-feel-"happy"-all-the-time shallow nonsense promoted by our culture. From yoga to meditation to tai-chi, many of these practices are based on bringing balance to the various forces at work in your body and preparing you for the onslaught of external forces. I have tried meds (diagnosed bipolar) and they make me woozy and unenthusiastic.

Tried herb for years but that -- long-term -- doesn't help other motivation areas and can make you pre-disposed to schizophrenia. Only thing about changing routines and cognitive behavioral therapy is that, like anything, it can become another obsessive hobby if not moderated. Try to take breaks, write in a journal, spend time with my thoughts and process DAILY.

Anyone have similar experiences?

How long do you stick with these regimens when you find something that works for you? Consistency is key.
