It could be physically, mentally or in some cases spiritually
Read for 30 minutes before sleep. Not just articles, but a real, paper-bound book. Helps with sleep, learning, and reading comprehension in the future.
This combined with the other guy’s “get a proper night’s rest” is a tough one. I always try to read for a half hour, but end up getting absorbed and reading for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I think I need to start reading drier books.
And write down every word you don’t know.
I have an anki card deck of all those words and I’ve greatly expanded my vocab doing that for 1 minute every morning while I have coffee.
Learn how parentheses work.
They look matched to me… I think it’s a programmer typing habit (maybe).
That’s not the issue here; try rereading the sentence as if the section in parentheses didn’t exist
Okay, on second examination I agree… that is some weird syntax.
I have this habit too, it’s like a thought bubble in my head that adds context on top of the original sentence. I wonder if it’s a trait for something but never thought it might be programming related.
Exercise. A little every day will make a huge difference.
Get good sleep. Despite it seeming like a waste of time, sleep is the most important part of our health routine, and here we are cutting out one or two or even three hours a night just to please our bosses, basically meaning our jobs won’t adapt to our own humanity. For our ability to perceive each others’ vocabulary, grasp our feelings, mull over complicated ideas, react to split second surprises in time, and generally be healthy physically, an hour of sleep can spell the difference between having the performance of Alexander the Great and the performance of General Custer, in fact guess which one was infamous for valuing his sleep?
Sleep deprivation is the single most cited factor in why Chernobyl happened, and fate punished us by making sure thirty square kilometers of land will be unusable for ten thousand years. Just think, we’ll be in other solar systems before we can step foot in Chernobyl again, all because some bosses somewhere said “I don’t care about your circadian rhythms, get in here on the dot without error or you’re going to the gulags”. The whole “early to bed early to rise” thing is BS and one should know the guy who said it was quite fond of sleeping in.
While eating place your utensil down, or the food in your hand like a sandwich, and then chew what’s in your mouth into a smooth paste before swallowing.
This slows down your eating process, correctly prepares the food for maximum absorption by your body, and gives you time to allow the feeling of satiation to develop.
You’ll eat less and naturally lose weight without counting calories.
Don’t be a dick. Just not being a dick everyday is a great improvement and it will make no only yours but everyones lifes better. In todays society this can be a big chalenge so don’t be a dick tl anyone, not even to a dick
Especially while driving. I found that if I felt bad for idiot drivers as their lives must be much harder than mine due to their latent impatience, rage, or incompetent, I was much less stressed. Just let them get on with it, slow down, and get home safe.
Now I almost never drive and that has helped even more.
Shower
Respect yourself and accept what achievements you’ve made and struggles you’ve overcome. Everybody is fucking amazing and while you shouldn’t think you’re more important than other people you should acknowledge that your story is unique.
Great advice. It’s hard being kind to yourself if you’ve beaten yourself up all your life. I’m still working on that.
Meditate even if for only 5 minutes
Sing to yourself. You can have a much wider vocal range with just a little bit of practice. It doesn’t have to be anything challenging, even a simple “row row row your boat” is already a nice exercise.
Personally I find it very soothing and it helps me focus when I’m doing something on my own. Plus I love how my voice can sound when I put in a little effort :)Don’t push too hard when you poop, or stay on the toilet too long. Your sphincter will thank you.
I’m a bit of an asshole, so whenever I start feeling kinda sad I just let myself cry & try to think about others during that feeling, in the hopes that it’ll make me less of an asshole over time.
Not really something I do everyday, but I definitely allow it when it presents itself.
