We always hear about people’s bad habits but what’s your good habit? Mine is whenever I have a meal that has vegetables in it I always eat that first. That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.
Make my bed every morning.
Brush my teeth no matter how tired or sad I get.
Genuinely asking, why is making your bed a good thing?
Makes you feel tidy, visually less cluttered, it’s a great small action to do to warm up your mind in the morning that won’t aggravate you to stir your brain awake. It just feels good to have a nice made and good looking bed when looking at the room and coming home for the day. It’s one little aspect of feeling like your better organized. For me it works.
Interesting. For me it kind of doea the opposite. I get it about keeping the room tidy, and I agree with that. The bed though, it just makes me feel unwelcomed. Like you’re only supposed to look, no touching allowed. Whereas my bed feels inviting and welcoming.
Self-study and exercise. I read Marxist-Leninist theory (as well as scientific articles and other non-fiction that interests me) every day, and work out 4 times a week. Both have significantly improved my life.
How have they improved your life?
Reading theory helps me understand the world around me. It keeps me realistically optimistic, without spiraling into doomerism or naive optimism. Reading scientific articles on space, tech, etc keep me curious and ever-learning.
Working out makes me feel better, have more mental clarity, and more energy. It’s self-satisfying. It isn’t necessary for everyone, but I enjoy it and the feelings it gives me. My attitude and mood improves with it.
Sounds nice! Thanks for sharing
No problem!
Doing sport, regullary. It keeps me fit, healthy and sane. It gave me some pride in my achievements and more power in the long run. Even if it sometimes stressy to fit time for it in my schedule, it is worth it. It also taught me that I am able to do more than I thought, a very valuable lesson for me.
Amazing. for me it was plants that inspired me to do daily exercise. Plants are always growing. No goal no nothing. All they think and all they do is growing, getting taller and stronger.
This is such a nice view! :)
I never hit snooze. I get up once my alarm goes off.
Probably helps that I sleep like absolute shit and was already tossing and turning anyway lol
oh dude, me too.
Sad high five o/\o
Sad high five indeed lol
I never get up without snoozing at least once, even if I’m already awake
I’m good with general personal upkeep. Always do the dishes right after every meal, always shower daily, brush my teeth twice a day, etc. I also try to have vegetables every meal, but sometimes I will skip if I’m too lazy to cook vegetables (I’m also not too sure as to what constitutes “eating your veggies” tbh—do onions count? What about tomato sauce? etc)
I do yoga twice a week
Not looking at my keyboard when typing. I switched to colemak last year, and since then I’ve managed to get into the habit of typing without looking. Which is very useful now that my keyboard stickers are starting to come off so it shows some letters twice and others not at all 😅
I always finish what I sta
Oh shit, it’s Candleja-
Is this a wild Candlejack reference? Better tell everyone to avoid saying Candlejack. Hey everyone! Don’t say Candleja–
Variants like “scandal jacker” also trigger it and-
Candlejack Candlejack Candlejack
I’m gonna need more rope!
I’ve gotten better at saying please and thank you often, I guess
I sprint stairs. Always. 3-5 a time, always have always will (until that future fateful day…)
Sprint up or sprint down? Cuz 5 stairs at a time up is mad talent
Five stairs at time down would break my ankles
Sproingy!
Telling my kids I love them, regularly and randomly. My parents only told me they loved me after yelling at me (or worse) and it took a long time for me to understand the toll that’s had on my relationships with them.
Out of the 31 meals i eat per week, i usually cook at least 27…most of those from scratch.
You’re eating 4-5 meals a day? Bodybuilder?
Sounds like your kids are gonna be alright!
Heh. Yeah I guess I did my math wrong there hahaha. Let’s quietly subtract 10 and forget it ever happened…
Always finish a shower with cold water!
I usally walk everywhere(if its further away than five km i would go by bicycle)
Assuming that I’ll forget something and setting a reminder of some type to make sure that I don’t forget.
I do this often
I always put stuff in the same spot so I don’t have to look for it or think about where it is. Everything in my wallet has a place, everything in my pockets always goes in the same pockets, my work ID goes in the same place when not in use, my sunglasses have a spot on the counter at home, and on and on. Greatly simplifies things and reduces stress not having to think about where stuff is or might be.
I have bowls. One near the front door for all the change in my pockets, another for keys and wallet.
