I wanted to try to live better, so I’ve been doing the following:
Walk more. Specifically in the morning. When I was in school, I did a lot of walking. Even though I’m not taking nearly as many steps now, I hate the thought of sitting at home all day long. So now I walk and listen to a podcast at the same time.
Floss every night. It took a while to build this habit. For a time, I didn’t. Then I would but forget on occasion or get lazy. Now I’m finally flossing right after I brush my teeth.
Stay hydrated. I drank so little water in high school, I was probably close to being dehydrated half the time. I pay greater attention my liquid consumption these days, especially as the weather warms up.
Go to bed earlier. I think sleeping has been one of my biggest challenges. I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. As I get busier, I find myself sleeping later. I have a morning routine, but I don’t have much of a night routine. Once upon a time, I slept earlier and woke up at a decent time. I’m doing my best to do that on a consistent basis.
Practice mindfulness. I’m not perfect, but I like living in the moment as much as possible. I put my phone away while I’m eating. I also check in with myself throughout the day when I have some time.
Even though I feel like I haven’t been that productive, I have been living a better life. And that’s something I’ll take every day.
I’ve been walking more as well. Working on the computer all day does no good for anyone. Except I haven’t really walked in a week or two because we had a heatwave. But good job! I’m glad you’re making these changes.

Exactly. I don’t want to sit and stare at a computer screen all day. It’s been really hot here too. I hope the weather cools down soon. Thanking you.

If it was healthy to be on the computer all day, I wouldn’t mind, lol.
