“If you’re trying to lose weight, eliminate alcohol from your diet.“
“When I was 16, I made the life changing discovery that if I sleep 8+ hours before school, it will s#ck less. Been doing it ever since“
“Buying one color of socks and undershirts saves so much time on laundry“
“When you’re stuck in a rut of not being able to take care of yourself – I pretend I’m a Sim and someone is controlling me to fill all my bars back to green. For some reason it works. It even works with cooking and doing the dishes. It’s kinda fun to feel like you’re leveling up in cooking or writing or something, too.“
“Care less. Leads to less stress, generally makes you better at what you’re doing. Also care less tends to help set boundaries, you’ll say yes to less nonsense when you don’t care.”
“Go to the Dollar store. Buy 3 or 4 cards you can write “I love you” in. Randomly give your partner one every once and awhile. Bonus points if you put them somewhere they’ll easily find them when you’re not there.“
“Automate everything you can. Bill pay, calendar reminders for taking the garbage out, schedule the dentist a year out etc. Not having to spend mental energy remembering to do stuff makes life WAY better.“
“Same sleep schedule everyday no matter if I work or not. I fall asleep right away and get better sleep from it.“
“Streching before sleep“
“Metamucil! Even with a cr#ppy diet, bathroom time is uh…as “clean” as one could hope for. One wipe and on with the day!“
“Not really a hack, but carving out a couple hours on the weekend to clean out my car and place. Cleaning it all. Really made me feel better about myself“
“Understanding most of my anger issues were actually caused by anxiety. Lack of control of a situation doesn’t mean I need to mentally produce a solution, and act out emotionally when the situation doesn’t go the way I expect.“
“Instead of talking to myself like I’m myself, I try to imagine what I’d say to a friend dealing with the same struggles and imagine what I’d say to them. Then I tell that to myself“
“”I’ll get gas in the morning” is the worst thing you can do to yourself.“
“Express gratitude instead of remorse, whenever possible. People enjoy gratitude and generally don’t know what to do with remorse (and kind of feel like they’re now responsible for making you feel better). I.e. don’t say “Sorry I’m late,” say “Thanks for your patience,” don’t say “sorry for bothering you,” say “thanks for your time”.“
