Rigorous exercise seems to get me out of any ruts I'm in. I typically hike 5-6 miles x 3 days a week, and throw in a 11-12 mile over strenuous terrain. By the end of that, your mind will clear, your body is exhausted, and you'll rest easy that night.

Other than that, eating well, having plenty of great sex, and interacting with as many people as possible. OH most important, SLEEP, a full solid night of it. Naps are awesome too.

I can attest to this. I've struggled with anxiety/depression/insomnia/adhd for years, and over the past couple years I've learned that careful attention to exercise, diet, and sleep are the most reliable ways I can ensure a healthy baseline.

I used to run a couple miles in the morning and evenings, on streets, until I injured my leg. So I switched to hiking after my leg recovered. Short 2-3 mile hikes turned into 12 mile stretches, which turned into short trail runs, and now I'm running 5-6 miles of trails 2x a week and 12+ mile runs/hikes on weekends (I'm secretly training for an ultra). I'd always thought I'd hate running, because it was too strenuous or something, but I haven't looked back. Maybe I'm just literally running away from my problems, but, it's far more rewarding in any case.
