Sometimes you have to log off, step outside, and figure out what’s actually keeping you sane. On this episode, the guys talk about beating the after-work slump, why men’s mental health deserves real…
Wize GrazetteHostAlexHostKevinHostI have been trying to get over what I believe a lot of us experience, which is the after-work slump.
Now, you put in your time at the job, you use mental, you use physical and damn sure emotional energies for the whole day.
When you dealt with traffic and getting home, if you don't got something that is a sure need to do it more lately than just catch yourself, sitting around, relaxing, trying to recover from the day.
And having now been in a 95 job rather than a Monday to Friday situation, as opposed to shifts, I found myself in recent times just like getting it from work.
I said no, and yes, do wasn't all.
Just, you know, let it run twice, teach you where it's going, or get up and try to figure out what you're going to do.
Let it run, let it run twice, back to bed.
So, yeah, I found out I had to fight a little bit when I come out after work.
You're tired, you still want stuff to do.
So it's like, all right, if I do it now, I'm going to have less to do on the weekend instead of just force everything on the weekend.
So that has been my activity that I've been trying to, Like, you know, get going.
And it's been pretty good so far.
You've got to talk to yourself a lot, because I'm one of the guys that's been needed.
But I'm sure
that we ain't get no, yeah, we ain't get that point no.
Because sometimes you get to, as they say, a flow of state.
You get past that first, though, a whole stress in the hump or whatever.
You get into motion, you know, two hours, you get a good set done.
And you still got the rest of your night to figure out, you know, how you can build things.
Right.
In a few better ways.
So I've, I've found that I felt better in doing, doing those things after work.
Mm-hmm.
