How to go from being a low-energy person to being a high-energy person? I tend to sit around and smoke/drink too much. I hate exercise (though I do force myself). And I wonder at times if my mattress is toxic or something because I just feel sluggish very often by comparison to other people. Other than exercising (which I am forcing upon myself) what else do I need to do concerning my habits, diet, attitude, psyche, household, whatever? Anyone else here ever tried to make this change, suiccessfully or not?
