It makes working from home enjoyable and a bit more sociable. I do one day a week from a co-working space, too.
I used to be the same way. Wake up at 5am, meditate, exercise, and shower before starting your day. Stop eating processed carbs and sugar. Get off the computer at 9pm and sleep at 10pm. Clean your room. Schedule sprints of work for yourself, drag yourself over to your chair, and force yourself to start typing anything. Talk to your friends more often. Set 1-3 large goals at the beginning of the day and explain to you…
This goal is too hard to achieve! It is like the 10x programmer, it is just too much to be a realistic goal. I mean, good for you if you can wake up every day at 5 am and meditate. But aside from the 0.0001% of people on the world that can do this, most people can't. This is a way of life which seems like living in a monastery to me. Totally unrealistic.
I’m a natural night owl, but I routinely (80-90% of the time) go to bed early and get up at 4am. It’s really not that hard.
Without knowing anything specific, lets check the basics - Sleep: Do you sleep around 8 hours per night and shake that rhythm up sometimes (go party once a month or whatever to give you some change)? - Sport: You should definitively do something, like go running half an hour twice a week. - Diet: Not following anything specific doesn't say much ;-) I mean, when you say that, I would assume you are probably eating mor…
Re: therapist, years ago it was estimated that a good, listening friends has about the same effect as a good therapist. So maybe cheaper (if you can find one at all).
Ah, well, then...
These are all things I struggle with as a solopreneur.

You say your job is easy, but feel miserably, so it looks like your body is telling you it needs something you are not providing him.
Let's review the basics: -Do you sleep well? -Do you eat well? -Do you exercise regularly? You answer that question, no. -Do you have friends, wife, partner or children? -Do you spend too much time in front of a computer? -Do you spend too much time sit down? -Do you see the light of the day every single day or work in the dark?
Normally someone will postpone a job that is tedious or hard or makes you suffer(mental). If that is not the case, odds are that it is just a physical thing.
When I started working at home I had to be in front of a computer 8-10 hours per day, but I could not be more than 1 or 2. So I bought a stool, put my screens at eye level while standing up and started going out in sunny Madrid every single day to exercise.
After one year of doing that(it took training of my muscles to be able to work standing up) I could work for more than 8 hours in front of a computer without issues.
There are things like the lymphatic system that needs movement of the body in order to work. If you do not move your body will alert you into stopping whatever you are doing to fix this issue first.
