Sadly I don't have much experience with being a n introvert. I tend to be energized by social interaction and time alone is a chore I put up with until I find something else to do!

I did however find a lack of passion emerging after a few solid months workouts out. I decided that it could no longer be simply about passion, it had to be discipline to get up and do my time in the gym despite not really wanting to.

In that note, I achieved that by seeing the gym as a place I could control, and sort of be at peace. I'd have my headphones, do my routine and mentally unwind. It's not an aggressive iron orgy for me - it's how I take stock of the week that's been and what's to come. Perhaps this mindset might be of benefit for you when you're feeling overwhelmed by the crowds, the pressures of academics etc. It'd be two birds with one stone, attending workouts and allocating some time to establish mental acuity.

Just a thought!

Thank you. I might want to give it a shot. Haven't ever tried it, though heard lots about it.
