Lift weights, lots of water and protein.
I drink water
I lift weights four days a week. It really has helped me with a lot of inflammation issues and I really have so much more energy. It’s not every day exactly, but four days a week I’m lifting for about an hour and a half each session. My life significantly improved after about the first six to eight weeks.
Drinking a hot tea for breakfast while lookong the landscape from the balcony.
Sex in the morning.
A shower in the evening.
Riding the ebike to/from work instead of driving.
I’ve been doing some stretching in the morning, and I have a small weight set that I do a little bit of lifting with. As you get older your body no matter its condition will start to break down. It’s good to have a better pan and diet as you get older.
I am not needlessly cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals living in atrocity several times a day.
I think of three things for which I am grateful every day. Reminders fire on all my devices and I don’t dismiss the reminder until I complete the task. That might be first thing after I get my senses after waking up. It might not be until 7pm. But I do it every day, almost without fail (unless ill or something).
I greatly reduced how much news I consume per day and it’s done wonders for my mental health.
I chose 2 sources of news that I trust and then I block news everywhere else in my life. Every morning I read the news from the two sources I picked and that is all the news I will consume for the day.
If I notice that I am consuming news elsewhere I will block/ignore/hide that source.
As an example, if I notice a community here post too much news I will just block it. I use Discord, so if one of the servers I’m in has any political or news channels I will mute them, etc etc.
Doing this, I find that the news I read is more relevant to me because the sources I chose are local news networks. In addition, because I am not getting news from social media, the news I read is much less sensationalized.
It really makes my morning news reads boring and I think that is a good thing.
What are the two sources?
dance
listen to music
make my home a better place
sleep
Serious upvote here. This is a game changer, it’s right in front of our noses, and it’s free.
Hardest part is figuring out how to make yourself actually sleep - just lying down in the bed isn’t enough.
I sleep and eat almost every day.
Some people are able to sleep at the same time everyday and eat three times a day. I’ve never understood how.
Routine. If you do it everyday for a while your body get used to it
Edit: that’s what they say
If that were true, I’d actually have gotten used to people telling me “you just need routine”, but yet it still annoys me, after all these decades. No offense.
I was in the army. Doesn’t get much more routine than that. Didn’t do jack shit for the problems. In fact, made them worse. Want to see the several hundred pages of different lab results and doctors statements?
Lol no, I understand completly. I’m medicated now so that’s why I able to adapt to routine. Just assumed you were not like me.
Also I was lucky because I changed jobs and i now have a job that somewhat matches my body sleep window.
I’ve also gone through like all the medications.
What I actually found to help for the first time in my life (been literally complaining about these problems my whole life, GI-issues and sleep mainly, but up to actual seizures a few years ago due to the exhaustion… or smth, no explanation to them either) was a GFCF diet, a gluten- and casein-free diet.
But I have so many other issues now that it wasn’t clear to me whether I could do a routine when sticking to that diet. Hopefully. I’m back off it because you have to be on gluten for celiac testing and whatnot.
The only job I could do for longer periods (I was in it for four years) was when we were allowed to freely change our shifts between workers. Because I don’t have really any sort of rhythm. So I would do a lot of work but suddenly sometimes I just couldn’t sleep and that would just build up.
Then they took away our scheduling, because of overtime hours weren’t being attributed correctly and whatnot (we just did the shifts of another person, but even if the hours matched the pay often didn’t, as you’d get more from a nightshift than a dayshift), so then I had to quit there as well.
I should’ve just stuck there to be honest, I’m sure I would’ve gotten disability by now because they wouldn’t have been able to fire me for being sick. But nooo, I had to try to not be a problem.
But yeah if I could tell my kid self my dietary requirements I think my life would look quite different.
for every 15 minutes I work, I take a 60 minute break.
Masturbate.
The realest life hack.
Meditate. It was difficult in the beginning but since doing it consistently every day I’ve found a way to “dissolve” almost instantly.
A good 30+ mins jog, especially for ADHD enjoyers.
Actually seems to help with general anxiety too
