for every 15 minutes I work, I take a 60 minute break.
Every email I send means a half hour break
I hug a tree. I dunno if it makes life noticeably better but it’s a vibe. I lost quite a few trees in a storm last year and feel like I’ve under appreciated them for way too long. No more!
My wife does the same, and after we tried shoots the first time, I do the same now. Lost our second biggest tree last year in a storm, fell due to to much water, so the roots came with it, but it happened where we don’t need to trim it, so now it’s just laying there. We’ll let nature take it’s course. And we have enough firewood.
Edit: shrooms dammit.
Shoots?
From context I’m guessing it’s “shrooms”.
Leave slack DMs 15-20 mins before answering
😃 Approved… On my side more depending who is trying to talk to me…

Stretch for 15 minutes 2 times a day

One of my favourite activity
Make a cocktail before dinner. Not saying it’s the right thing for everyone, but it brings joy, relaxation and a nice moment of quality couple time with my partner.
A good drink can help to get back the good mood 😀
I do aperitif half the days of the week, after making supper but before eating it, and when weather permits, sit on the front porch or back deck to drink it.
It really is a nice pause. Not so necessary now I am working from the office again, when we had to work from home a drink was the absolute best divider between work day and personal time. Just one.
I’ve been doing some stretching in the morning, and I have a small weight set that I do a little bit of lifting with. As you get older your body no matter its condition will start to break down. It’s good to have a better pan and diet as you get older.
I chug a tall glass of cold water first thing in the morning. Wakes me up a bit, gets the guts moving for a morning shit, and obviously helps rehydrate after sleeping.
Swapping to water for 95% of my fluid intake has been a complete life changer. I wake up feeling better, I sleep better, I can handle the heat and cold better, I’m more alert and able to focus throughout the day. It’s insane what just drinking mainly water does for you.
I stopped needing to use chapstick every 20 minutes

I greatly reduced how much news I consume per day and it’s done wonders for my mental health.
I chose 2 sources of news that I trust and then I block news everywhere else in my life. Every morning I read the news from the two sources I picked and that is all the news I will consume for the day.
If I notice that I am consuming news elsewhere I will block/ignore/hide that source.
As an example, if I notice a community here post too much news I will just block it. I use Discord, so if one of the servers I’m in has any political or news channels I will mute them, etc etc.
Doing this, I find that the news I read is more relevant to me because the sources I chose are local news networks. In addition, because I am not getting news from social media, the news I read is much less sensationalized.
It makes the news that I read boring and I think that is a good thing.
What are the two sources?
As I have to go back to the office I am reading a book now in the bus. I also try to avoid news but sometimes, it is a bit hard as I am not aware if something has changed. It happened to me. For example: the price of the bus ticket went up. I just discovered it when I got in… :( So, I filter.
I lift weights four days a week. It really has helped me with a lot of inflammation issues and I really have so much more energy. It’s not every day exactly, but four days a week I’m lifting for about an hour and a half each session. My life significantly improved after about the first six to eight weeks.
Four days in a week in a row or you take in between some rest days?
I take off Wednesday and then every weekend. I appreciate sleeping in on Wednesday like you wouldn’t believe.
Actually, having a Wednesday off is so great. You can go around the city, it is empty, you can enjoy the streets etc. I have always recommended my team to experience at least once a Wednesday off
dance
listen to music
make my home a better place
Drugs.
