I just couldn't stop smiling as I read this piece. At the peak of my freelancing days, it got to a point that I barely had decent clothes. There was no reason to buy clothes since I spent most of my days on singlets and briefs.
I eventually stepped out last April to get a job when I had issues with the outsourcing company I worked with. Now, I've sorted my issues with them but I'm scared of quitting my day job to go back to staying indoors. I planned to quit the day job last month, October, but here I am still with them, extending my stay till December.
Take early morning exercise serious - I do jog about 1 hour back then. Also, get involved in sporting activities. If you play football, look for a football field around you and play even if it's on Saturday mornings. If you don't play, go over there and watch others play. It is therapeutic; it worked for me.
This exercise bit is actually helpful. I used to do my workout routine indoors, but now I'll start taking it out of the house. Also the football part is helpful. I don't play, but most of my friends do. I can spend some time watching them.
Thank you for this.
