for every 15 minutes I work, I take a 60 minute break.

Riding my bike to work

having at least 10hrs of sleep

I am not needlessly cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals living in atrocity several times a day.

I have a few things I've picked up recently.

1. A couple of years ago I quit drinking coffee, so now I almost exclusively drink water. I find the water first thing in the morning is a brilliant way to wake up
2. In the evenings I go for a bike ride, giving me some fresh air, sunlight and exercise. Some nights I go for a 20 mile intercity route, some nights I just do an easy 5 mile route in town
3. After my bike ride I'll eat some ice cream, shower, then relax with a book in bed (my phone stays on my dresser and out of reach from the bed) before going to sleep

The right morning routine and evening routine really makes my days feel so much more fulfilling even if I haven't been particularly productive that day

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 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.

I hug a tree. I dunno if it makes life noticeably better but it’s a vibe. I lost quite a few trees in a storm last year and feel like I’ve under appreciated them for way too long. No more!

sleep

Masturbate.

Lift weights, lots of water and protein.

Leave slack DMs 15-20 mins before answering

not giving a fuck

still giving to much fucks, but at least i'm tying

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 makes the news that I read boring and I think that is a good thing.

I set aside 20 minutes in the morning to journal. It's become sacred to me. It helps me clear my head and set my focus for the day.

To be honest even my go tos are not working very well. Walking, bathing, nature.

dance

listen to music

make my home a better place

I drink water

Make a cocktail before dinner. Not saying it's the right thing for everyone, but it brings joy, relaxation and a nice moment of quality couple time with my partner.

Get up at the same time every day, even when I don't have to. Having a nice solid circadian rhythm makes me feel much better in several ways.

Stretch for 15 minutes 2 times a day

I chug a tall glass of cold water first thing in the morning. Wakes me up a bit, gets the guts moving for a morning shit, and obviously helps rehydrate after sleeping.

I take 100mg of welbutrin every morning. Seems to do a decent job of making my life better
