I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

Don’t read the news as much I do.
If you see a problem you can fix, it’s best to fix it right away because very often it can become way worse if you leave it for later, costing more time, effort, and money to fix than if you just took care of it immediately. Everytime that little voice says “you can fix that later” you tell it to stfu.

Similar: the five minute rule. If you’re struggling to get started on a big task, do it for five minutes. Best outcome is that you keep doing the task, and it gets done. But even if you’ve had enough, then at least that’s five minutes’ worth you don’t have to do later.
Try to eat healthy and perform a minimal workout every day. Eat more fresh fruits or vegetables. It’s quick to make a simple yogurt bowl with fruit and granola, or a salad with lean meat or chick peas. Start with a few push ups, crunches, reverse crunches, and at least a 30 minute walk. Small changes gradually will help you feel better with how you look and feel with a small time investment.
Preach. Get a food scale!
I counted calories for a bit to eat healthier and balance my nutrition.
I stopped after 3 months but I quickly realized that serving sizes ae WAY smaller than you’d think.
A bowl of cereal or chips could be 2 or 3 servings. Donuts and muffins are garbage. Ham and cheese? Triple the ham and cut the cheese in half. Mayo is horrible but plain mustard is 0 cal.
I didn’t eat any less but I made my meals healthier and lost weight without changing my workout.
I also ate bad stuff without cheating. Chicken salad for dinner and a scoop of ice cream for a late night snack under budget.
If you use q-tips to clean your ears, first use a wet one, and then a dry one. Did wonders for me.
Oh my goodness I just tried this. Thank you so much, stranger.
About the shower, I hang my towel just outside of the shower and get it before I step out. I get myself mostly dry before stepping on to the shower mat.
If you use fresh ginger root, you can use a spoon to scrape of the brown skin. Scrape the edge over the skin and it will just peel off.
I didn’t believe how easy this was when at first I tried this.
Take a few drinks if water first thing when you wake up.
I take a mug of electrolytes instead. It does wonders for my morning energy levels
Keep an eye on your own morale. You’d be amazed how much even a strategically placed snack will do for your future.
If you hate everyone, have a snack. If everyone hates you, have a nap.
“Strategically placed snack” is hilarious, lol.
Snacks can be extremely fateful. You could argue a sandwich played a very important role in starting World War 1. Imagine all of the unsung snacks that put some world leader in a slightly better mood and omnicide was averted.
Uhh… on second thought I won’t be leaving precarious war-mongering snacks like that around my house
Eat them for the good of mankind
Take a lunch break, both of those things, lunch and a break. Do anything other than work and sit down to eat something so you can enjoy it. Take a break in the middle of the day, you’re worth it and you deserve it.
One of the hardest things for me. My relax space is home and I can’t make it there on my lunch. My brain doesn’t wanna switch out of work mode because then it could take way too long to switch back.
Can you go for a walk about? When my brain doesn’t want to turn off work, I’ll either watch something in netflix or listen to an interesting podcast while walking.
Smalltalk starter pack:
- (during the day) “So how’s your day going?”
- (in the evening) “So how was your day?”
- (before the weekend) “what you up to on Saturday?”
- (before the week) “what’s your week looking like?”
Easy small repeatable things that open people up. I use it on everyone, and I make sure that I care about the answer because I’m genuinely curuous
Some of us have a habit of listening to that nasty little voice in our heads that says we’re a failure, that we’re weak, that we have to work harder than anyone else to just be.
Next time you hear it starting to list all the ‘bad/wrong’ stuff you’ve done, tell it to shut up … and keep telling it to shut up every time you realize you’re listening to it. Then think on a good thing you did for a friend or neighbour.
Self-flagellation should never be our bestie.
If you shower at the gym, you don’t need a whole bath towel to dry yourself. A regular hand towel is sufficient, and it takes up way less room in your gym bag.
Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.
Wow!!
There is nuance to nearly everthing that exists. All of life happens with the grey area- perfectly balanced between the black and white boundaries most people refuse to look away from.
Ha, ha! I already knew this one!!
Hide an extra roll of toilet paper somewhere in the the bathroom, use for emergencies, tell no one. I smash one flat and put it up behind the false drawer covering the vanity sink.
Ah, the turkish cigarette trick!
We called it that back in the day, because turkish cigarettes were the absolute worst smoke you could have. But in need, a friend indeed…
God I miss smoking. I quit near as not 20 years ago after a parent died of lung cancer, and still every once in a while I could f’kin eat one whole. You can “quit” but the craving never really goes away.
Forgot my vape at home while out in town a few months ago. Stress and shit happened. Bummed a dart off the guy working on my truck. And it was like I never quit. It was so good. Words cant describe. Shit was amazing. But it was just the one. I’ve stayed quit. Only because of my family tho. Not like risk of lung cancer really matters anymore. WWIII, climate collapse, etc. Very few of us are gonna live long enough to die of natural causes.
Do people really consider vaping as not smoking?
As a smoker who quit before ecigs, if you do quit nicotine, it’s hard. But it gets easier every day. Now it’s just a long forgotten memory.
If you are vaping, then did you really quit?
I quit the tar and arsenic and 100 other odd chemicals in american cigs. I didnt quit nicotine.
As someone who mixed his own vape fluids and slowly lowered the nicotine to ~1.8mg/ml and then went cold turkey first on nicotine and then also on vaping. The craving for a cigarette full of tar is still there once in a while when drinking or when completely stressed out.
Most of the time it’s my brain wanting “5 minutes of fresh air” while working on a problem or thinking back about a good time such as a beer, a smoke and good company during a backyard bbq. I can do those things without the nicotine, and I do.
It’s rare now though, especially compared to how it was when I was still vaping nicotine.I was a pack per day for almost 20 years. Switched to vapes 5+ years ago and stepped down the % and then stopped just like you. Haven’t had a smoke/vape in probably 2 years at this point. I still get a craving now and then but it passes, fuck cigarettes and paying lying tobacco companies to kill me.
I’m just replying to this because I wanted to see what color came after purple in Voyager…
Edit: It’s pink!
