for every 15 minutes I work, I take a 60 minute break.
Masturbate.
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!
My wife does the same, and after we tried shoots the first time, I do the same now. Lost our second biggest tree last year in a storm, fell due to to much water, so the roots came with it, but it happened where we don’t need to trim it, so now it’s just laying there. We’ll let nature take it’s course. And we have enough firewood.
Edit: shrooms dammit.
not giving a fuck
still giving to much fucks, but at least i’m tying
Good approach
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.
Leave slack DMs 15-20 mins before answering
It took me a long time to realize slack responses don’t need to be immediate. I usually have a slightly emotional reaction, but given 5 minutes I can gather my thoughts and give a much better response
My immediate emotional reaction is usually some degree of “have you misplaced your brain?” So it’s good to pause.
Same reason I have a 3 minute delay for outgoing emails.
😃 Approved… On my side more depending who is trying to talk to me…
dance
listen to music
make my home a better place
Meditate. It was difficult in the beginning but since doing it consistently every day I’ve found a way to “dissolve” almost instantly.
I am not needlessly cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals living in atrocity several times a day.
Username doesn’t check out.
A good 30+ mins jog, especially for ADHD enjoyers.
Actually seems to help with general anxiety too
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.
To be honest even my go tos are not working very well. Walking, bathing, nature.
Proper sleep?
I try but that is the one that gets goofed up first by life not being great.
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.
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.
Swapping to water for 95% of my fluid intake has been a complete life changer. I wake up feeling better, I sleep better, I can handle the heat and cold better, I’m more alert and able to focus throughout the day. It’s insane what just drinking mainly water does for you.
I stopped needing to use chapstick every 20 minutes
