Thought about it, snce it’s near New Year’s.

In my opinion, exercising/training/stretching atleast once a week would be a good thing for most people.

    Reading books on daily basis. It’s a qualitatively different experience from reading websites or consuming other form of media. If you have trouble getting into reading, I recommend picking a particular time and place, then reading at least a few pages every day. Eventually, it will turn into a habit and you’ll be reading for longer periods. Another thing I recommend is finding books on topics you’re interested in, be it fiction or non fiction, and don’t feel bad about abandoning books if you find you’re not enjoying it.

    Set a timer for when you’re sitting at a desk and working. Every hour, I get up and do something or go get some water. It helps

    Make a list of all the tasks you want to do for the day, every day. This is so important for me if I don’t do this I just never get anything done.

    Also always plan to do something productive every day even if you just feel like relaxing. You will feel so much better relaxing if you know you’ve done something your proud of.

      The amount of people I used to meet through tinder back when I was single that seemingly or self-admittedly did none of that, just brushed once a day, was very concerning. Still is.

    Checking up on your friends and asking how they are. It never hurts to be there for your friends when they’re having a bad day! ❤️

      I stopped doing this with some of my friends. They were always happy to hear from me, but the relationship felt one sided. Once I did, I found out I was right.

    I spent all of 2024 tracking my spending and saving. I didn’t “budget”, just had a spreadsheet and wrote everything down week over week.

    I would recommend it as a habit people may benefit from just to understand where their money goes.

      Yes, track the dollars even if the outflow is greater than the inflow. Then you will at least have an idea of where to start

      Also, generally avoid alcohol consumption. It’s weird that this drink, when consumed regularly, has the ability to hijack and reprogram your biology so much that stopping can kill you. Just best to avoid it.

      I imagine it would be useful as a learning experience, even if that level of tracking didn’t go on forever.

      I’m thinking of how tracking calories feels analogous; the time I spent dedicatedly tracking the calories of my food consumption was super helpful in recalibrating my intuitive understanding.

      The first few months were a lot of effort because I had to do stuff like putting a bowl on a weighing scale and add what I considered to be an appropriate amount of cereal, and working out how many calories were in that, then doing similar for the milk. It was shocking to see how many calories were in some of the typical things I ate, but beginning to be honest about that and logging my reality was necessary to starting making positive changes. Because I tend to slip into disordered eating when I try to lose weight via calorie counting, I’ve found that I need to take a more freestyle approach and go for more qualitative goals like “eat more veg”, “cook more meals”, “drink glass of water before snacking” — goals that can be specific and towards being healthier, but don’t require too much number crunching. However, I wouldn’t have made as much progress without having spent a decent amount of time tracking things, judgement free.

      The judgement free part is the hardest part, and I imagine that applies for tracking spending too. Did you ever have instances where you saw how much you were spending on a particular thing and cringed so hard that you found it harder to be truthful in your tracking? I know that I struggle with guilt a lot, and that can make it easier to put my head in the sand.

    Waking up at the same time every day, no matter if it’s a weekend or a weekday and no matter if you stayed up too late and won’t be getting full 8 hours of sleep.

    As obvious as this might sound, this has really helped me to regulate my sleep schedule, something I’ve really been struggling with for pretty much my entire life.

    Learn stuff, don’t eat processed foods and get exercise - gardening and foraging are good places to start for most people. Stay far away from negative, manipulative and lying people.

    Just go for a walk. Calling it exercise scares people into thinking about running, cycling or the gym but for the last month or two i just make it my mission to go for a long-ish walk once a day. Nothing strenuous, some days I walk a couple of kilometres to the nearest big supermarket to pick up some stuff, or i’ll get something delivered to a post locker thing or I’ll just go for a nice walk around the nearby park and bring my neglected camera with me to take pics of some birdies.

    You would be surprised how many calories it adds up to and how much better your well-being can get from some sunlight and fresh air.

      That’s it! Walking solves so many problems automatically, it’s possibly the best general answer.

      I’ve been trying to motivate myself to go out for walks more. I really enjoy hiking, but especially over the winter, the weather is always an easy excuse not to go out (I’m in the PNW, so winter means rain).

      I just bought some nice waterproof hiking shoes that will take away at least one excuse. I’d get wet feet using running shoes, and cleaning mud off was a pain too. Having the right equipment can make going out way more pleasant. (Also it can be exciting to try out new shoes or whatever it is)

    So many people don’t care about how their behaviors affect others. They are loud on the public transport, interrupt others when they talk, act like they are better because they got good looks, and a bunch of other things.

    I really think people would get along better if all of us were more down to earth and listening and relaxing.

    Be the opposite of what you see in reality shows.

    Eating magic mushrooms. Did you know they are not addictive, and tolerance levels are quickly built up. If you try to trip on shrooms daily they won’t have much effects after 2-3 times and takes almost two weeks for your tolerance to go back down. Probably best to avoid eating poisonous mushrooms. 🍄🍄‍🟫

    Learning how to say no, how to do it politely and how to do it firmly. I’m better at the latter but being able to do either is a goddamn superpower, it’s incredible how many Americans cannot regardless of their situation, title, age, wealth, etc.

      I’m divided on this.

      In one hand, when I haven’t done my habits for awhile it seems like everything goes to chaos.

      But many days I dread all the annoying chores I do making everyday feel the same.

    Learn to eat healthy, in good portions, not too much, not too little and fast once in a while.

    It’s a pain when you’re younger but gets easier with age because you start losing or degrading your sense of taste (like all your other senses) anyway.

    If you get that habit early in life, you’ll keep it forever. And if you take care of your system early in life, your older self will thank you for it. Otherwise if you abuse yourself, and you do end up living a long life, you’ll be miserable for the last decade or two of your life and probably won’t know your name or where you’re from.
