Eating 2 meals a day instead of only one in the evening.
I’ve been working irregular shifts since 20 years and eating my daily calories in one evening meal. It’s not good, I don’t mind hunger and can ignore it but my body is on survival mode until next meal.
So I’m starting to have breakfast in the form of homemade smoothies (with everything you need in it) in order to get use to have a breakfast. Next step will be solid food but there’s no rush.
Wow, impressing. I know some people that eat only once a day, but I never thought it could be bad for them. Are you feeling better now?
I’m not sure yet, it’s only been a week.
What I know is that breakfast always been my favourite meal (French… patries and/or baguette with butter and jam) so eating that again would be really good for the moral.
Going to bed on time.
… Don’t look at me.
If you were already good at it you wouldn’t be “trying.” Remember to be kind to yourself. When you finally get to bed, remind yourself that sleeping is an important and valuable task you’re doing, and resting with your eyes closed accomplishes a lot of the same physical repairs so don’t fret if you don’t feel asleep enough.
Going to bed at a reasonable hour.

Listen more, talk less. Ask better questions.
Physical: jump rope everyday. I’m trying to do 100/day. working my way to 100 continuous, then I’ll track time. I work an active job, this is less about cardio/strength, and more about co-ordination/rhythm and joint health
Creative: practice singing everyday. I’ve always been a sing-along-er, so I’m not starting from nothing, this year I started lessons. I’m early days though, I think my teacher is still trying to make me comfortable at being bad boldly.
ADHD makes habit forming hard, a teacher adds accountability, but practice is still easy to skip. For each, I thought about tracking progress with Loops to add more accountability. But it isn’t something I’d watch, so it would just be a micro-vlog.
Regularly initiating social interactions with my co-workers. It’s hard because I’m anxious about rejection.
Not saying or thinking disparaging shit to myself
Weirdly, this very pro mental health song started playing just before i opened the post lol: livin’ it up by Bill La Bounty
Not being too nice, in other words self perservation from others
Cooking healthy meals by default
