After facing countless rejections from women, stuck in an inescapable friend-zone with co-workers and attractive female friends, & never being taken seriously by others/always being taken advantage of, it's hard NOT to feel beaten down, chewed up and swallowed by life.

Consumed with anxiety, depression, and oftentimes fear, to many men lose themselves here and never recover.

A crazy truth about depression and negative momentum is that although you may think it's only happening to you in those moments, it literally happens to everyone!

It doesn't matter how much money one makes, how many girls a guy has slept with, how awesome a relationship a man has, how good-looking a man is - all of that shit is completely irrelevant.

Depression, anxiety, sadness & fear don't discriminate.

One of the best ways to break free from depression and negative momentum is to rapidly shift gears, shock your system, and start taking action right away.

BIG action.

One thing that I occasionally recommend to guys I work with is to wake up at 5 am, grab an INTENSE workout, take a nice 3 - 5 minute cold shower, and start the rest of the day with a gratitude meditation.

If you're in a rut right now, try it out!

No matter what though, just remember: this shit happens to everyone.

The richest of the rich, and the poorest of the poor.

The healthiest of the spartan race runners, to the donut-eating couch potatos.

Realize you're in the rut, acknowledge it, and take some action to start building back your positive momentum.
