 Hello everyone,

Three years ago, around late March of 2018, I started "brisk-walking" outdoors in my neighborhood for one hour per day six days per week.

It has revolutionized my life.

I had mild-moderate undiagnosed depression, low GPA in high school, a video-game addiction, a Porn addiction, anxiety, and other problems. I started walking originally because I thought it might help me to grow taller since I read that exercise can increase one's height.

Two months after I started "brisk-walking" - walking outdoors at roughly 3.5 mph for an hour straight without stopping - I suddenly had the urge to quit video games. I began to believe that video games are a negative influence that have hurt me throughout my life and given me nothing - or very little - in return.

So, I quit video games over the Summer of 2018. Consequently, in my Junior year of High School, which was from 2018-2019, my GPA was much higher, I gradually overcame my depression, and fought against my Porn addiction (without successfully quitting it, though, honestly).

If there is a single Life Hack that will help you to get out of the dark pit that you are currently it, "brisk-walking" for one hour per day for six days per week may be it. Your life may improve in other ways as well in addition to overcoming depression.

So, give it a shot. Start out small, perhaps, and just try going on a one hour walk for three days every week. Then, eventually, scale up to six days per week.

I found this lifehack roughly three years ago, and I feel that it would be remiss of me not to share it to as many people as possible who are struggling.

Now, you may be thinking, "well, isn't it possible that many of the positive effects you experienced, such as quitting video games, a higher GPA, a lessened anxiety, etc, would have happened anyway? Whether you had walked or not? How do you know that walking is what caused your life to improve... could it have been something else?"

Well, for all I know, yes, it could have happened regardless of whether or not I walked consistently, or my life-benefits may have come about because of something else I did. So, to share further, other things I have tried (and currently practice now) are: NoFap, eating a healthy diet, reading fiction and non-fiction books in my spare time.

Let me know if you have any questions; I would be happy to help you.
