I finally have a job where I can focus on my goals (CPA and working out). I have much more time now and am finally out of PA. How the heck do I get back into it? Any tips are welcome!

I have depression and anxiety so getting out of PA was the best thing for me. I’m also trying not to overdo it though.

Take it one day at a time! I'd study a few hours every day if I had the time. For working out, perhaps find someone to workout with you if you like? Maybe take some classes? Those are always fun! Try to workout 3 times a week, or less than that if needed. When I was super depressed in college, I began to work out with an acquaintance of mine who helped me stay accountable. Now we are pretty much best friends! Congrats of leaving PA btw! Wish I have the courage to do the same one day!

Did I misunderstand the question - are you asking how to get back in to PA? I did just that after 14 years in industry.
