Looking for advice!

In a little over a year I'll be 40. I'm unmarried, single, childless, and friendless. I'm depressed and overweight. Overdue for a promotion. Still renting. I've been working on all 8 things for the past 5 years, trying to make some improvement, but I'll make a few steps forward and then take several steps back. Why??? My life is not as terrible as it seems, btw, but what gives?

It sounds like you’re trying to improve your life and you’ve had some success but it doesn’t last. From what you wrote, I get the impression that you are doing things that used to help you but no longer do. My advice, is to experiment. Clearly the way you are trying to achieve your goals is not working the way you want it to. Try to think outside the methods you are currently practicing

@QueenOfZaun Yeah, you're definitely right. The old motivators don't work anymore. The old techniques don't help. I have tried different things over the years, but you're absolutely right. I need to think outside the box.
