As marketers, how do you take care of your mental health?

"You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers."

I'm talking about minutes spent exercising ok...

For me, a good workout keeps everything in place, 30-40 minutes doing some fasted cardio and then hitting the gym for around 60 minutes will always work its magic on me.

i wonder if other professions have mind warrior forums.

e.g. do terrorists have mind warrior forums?
and if terrorists dont have them do we really need one?


Being a terrorist is a lot more difficult than being an IMer in general.

I want to be snarky and ask you to understand that waking up at 4:30 and doing a list of motivational and productivity boosting thing . Before doing any work make it so much more stressful to make money working from home.

The lazy people who wake up a six take care of the three s's make breakfast and start working between 7 or 8 . Are just not as committed to success.

That's odd. I feel the same way.
Early on, maybe in my early 20s, I felt committed to being the world's greatest vacuum cleaner salesman (saying that sounds weird now).

But for the vast majority of my adult life, my commitment has just been to doing my job (whatever that is), and all the rest is just whatever itch I feel needs to be scratched. And mostly, just doing what I want to. Usually that involved getting paid. But it could have been art, philosophy, a hobby.

I thought about this last night, after I posted.

Some people have real, serious mental health problems. Schizophrenia, for example. Compulsive disorders. I didn't mean to make light of those problems. Some people have real struggles.

But most people don't. And those are the people I was talking about.

I don't see a success culture at all.

Individuals may want a lot for themselves, but in the vast majority of jobs, everyone just wants to do their job, and go home. People who are really focused on their personal success are exceedingly rare.

I almost never meet anyone that is focused on their success. Unless "Success" means doing the job they are paid to do.

As far as "working conditions grind down people and break people.". I don't know where that is...so far, I've never been to a place like that.

But nobody is forced to work there. Right now, employers are begging for workers of all kinds. You can take your pick of jobs and levels of stress. Or choose not to do any of it.

If I pay you 4$/hr, could I please install a rootkit on your PC?

I am not going to argue with you . When the lockdowns started. My position was because the government was telling people they could not work the government would have to give them money.

Now the argument is the government gave people to much money so they do not want to work.

You may have been fine working as a card dealier in a casino. But not every job in society needs that amount of observation.

And just because you where willing to to go through that. Does not mean everyone else should go through it.

I'm sorry if I assumed you were dealing cards in a casino. But what else would require that level of observation way way back

You have never said anything about working in casinos. So the intense observation you where under that you explained had nothing to do with gambling

Shifting the message pre Covid much of the work force was in jobs they did not like but they had a job. At the same time it has become ok to quit jobs you don't like for what ever reason and find a better job. That may pay better money.

I make sure i listen to at least some motivational speech each day to keep me focused
