I'm finding getting some morning exercise, like a 20min fast walk, and trying to view things as positive as possible, have been helping me a lot lately.

I was quite relieved myself to know there is a reason for why things are more challenging. If I look at it like it's a challenge then I can train myself to win everyday!?

right? Like runners train with goals. We can make daily reasonable goals. Baby steps.
Of course some days are better than others.

I'm glad you are finding some answers. Take care.
