Kudos to you @help4meandu for finding the will and motivation to join a gym. Yes, it's a good social outlet, gets you out each morning and you get to enjoy the benefits of exercise. I love making exercise a habit so that I don't even question whether to do it or not. When I get up, I put on my workout clothes and that's have the battle. Once I'm dressed, I figure I might as well exercise or at least go for a walk. Has it become habit for you and you just do it?

Yes exercise has been part of my morning routine after I stopped working (due to a merger was downsized) and helped with stress of being caregiver to mother, husband and brother. I really missed it during pandemic and tried to use a fitness app but I benefit from the encouragement of group classes.
I divide my time between 2 locations and now back in NY I need to get the momentum to join a local gym here.
Otherwise I roll out the yoga mat and at least try to stretch.
My sleep is a big problem for me and I know how important it is especially when fighting depression. Lifestyle -diet, exercise and sleep all so vital to our wellbeing. Also social connections that unfortunately I have too few of. So much to work on. Then I get overwhelmed so just tackle small incremental goals.
