Alcohol. It was not a positive change.

At least 20 mins of daily yoga. My body is aging & the pandemic definitely didn’t help. It’s helped me lose weight, become more aware of how stretching really helps w a WFH lifestyle, and has taught me to use breath ctrl to help with stress.

Keeping the dish drying rack empty. If it’s empty, it is much more likely that the people you live with will wash their own dishes.

Also, if I am having a rough start to my day sometimes just grinning like a maniac into empty space for a minute sparks a better mood and motivation.

Capturing everything that came to me into a notebook, task list or whatever. If it’s something I should do and I think I’ll take less than two minutes to complete it, do it now.

Basically started implementing part of the GTD process. For me it has been night and day.

I have always exercised but gaining weight and lifting weights increased my bone mass at an age that it is supposed to be impossible to do that. I would rather be skinny, looks-wise, it was my identity and now I am so fucking medium sized but feel better, sleep better, and presumably will hold up better.

So, oddly enough, eating regularly and doing heavier exercise.

Keeping a gratitude journal. Every day I think of something I’m grateful for. It could be big or small. And I write it down. I keep them different (a text file I can search helps).

It has given me a more grateful mindset. Because now I’m on the lookout for things to put in my gratitude journal.
