I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.
Try to eat healthy and perform a minimal workout every day. Eat more fresh fruits or vegetables. It’s quick to make a simple yogurt bowl with fruit and granola, or a salad with lean meat or chick peas. Start with a few push ups, crunches, reverse crunches, and at least a 30 minute walk. Small changes gradually will help you feel better with how you look and feel with a small time investment.
Preach. Get a food scale!
I counted calories for a bit to eat healthier and balance my nutrition.
I stopped after 3 months but I quickly realized that serving sizes ae WAY smaller than you’d think.
A bowl of cereal or chips could be 2 or 3 servings. Donuts and muffins are garbage. Ham and cheese? Triple the ham and cut the cheese in half. Mayo is horrible but plain mustard is 0 cal.
I didn’t eat any less but I made my meals healthier and lost weight without changing my workout.
I also ate bad stuff without cheating. Chicken salad for dinner and a scoop of ice cream for a late night snack under budget.
If you use fresh ginger root, you can use a spoon to scrape of the brown skin. Scrape the edge over the skin and it will just peel off.
I didn’t believe how easy this was when at first I tried this.
Take a few drinks if water first thing when you wake up.
Take a lunch break, both of those things, lunch and a break. Do anything other than work and sit down to eat something so you can enjoy it. Take a break in the middle of the day, you’re worth it and you deserve it.
There is nuance to nearly everthing that exists. All of life happens with the grey area- perfectly balanced between the black and white boundaries most people refuse to look away from.
If you shower at the gym, you don’t need a whole bath towel to dry yourself. A regular hand towel is sufficient, and it takes up way less room in your gym bag.
Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.
Wow!!
Use a whiteboard eraser to clean the dashboard offgas gunk off the inside of your windshield.
I have a wand thing with microfiber pads. Not only does it allow me to reach the the windshield in front of me, I can clean the passenger side as well.
Ha, ha! I already knew this one!!
For the love of God. Get enough sleep. That shit will catch up to you when you’re older.
After dealing with babies who didn’t want to sleep or sleep for long for a few years, I found nothing that can reverse or help with the effects. Fuuuuuuuck. Get it where you can.
That shit will catch up to you when you’re older.
Especially as one of the risk factors for dementia is sleep deprivation
This would be concerning to me but I’ll forget it in 15 mins.
I’m a runner and I can definitely tell that the largest determining factor for my physical performance isn’t diet, days off, etc; it’s sleep. Sleep is SO important.
Edit: The others are still very important, but sleep is paramount.
I used to not get enough sleep. Now I drive every day. Huge incentive to sleep 8 hours a night.
Get mental help, especially if you are a man. It’s ok to cry, and doesn’t make you any less of a person
And I’m going to add something that helps me talk to my therapist: “If it’s mentionable, it’s manageable.”
After you’ve tried to deal with something yourself and haven’t succeeded, telling someone about what’s going on, no matter how unimportant or embarrassing or burdensome or shameful it feels, is the first step to living a life of contentment.
Protect your head when doing contact activities,sports, etc. Brain injury and seizures are a terrible thing to live with.
And cycling.
Ditto on the cycling. I’ve only ever gotten in one bad accident on my road bike, but if I hadn’t worn a helmet, I wouldn’t be here today. I got ran off the road by a car overtaking another when they shouldn’t have, went straight for a tree, used the roots as a sort of ramp to launch myself 5ish feet in the air, and landed helmet first on the road again with my bike landing on me soon after. I’ll never get on the bike without a helmet unless I’m on the trainer, no matter how short or safe I think the ride is.
Yikes! Glad you’re ok. A friend of mine had a much less dramatic hit by a car but landed on her head and had a lot of difficulties from it.
If a child gives you anything, anything at all, blade of grass, shell at the seaside, whatever - take it with real, heartfelt thanks. It is all they have to give.
My older sister gave my dad a dead bird she found when she was little. It ranks among the highest I’ve ever heard anyone shriek.
Always keep stock of water in an extra overhead tank or atleast an extra lid bucket bathrooms for emergency when tap water ran out. Just make sure to change water every two weeks to prevent bug parties in it.
If you don’t have kettle then have a lot of water bottles especially that can store warm drinking water for long time, to never run short of warm drinking water in winter.
I try to always keep 30L to 50L of water safely stored in the food cellar.
If you store it properly it can stay safe and drinkable for years, I replace it about once a year though.
The ability to admit fault and learn from your mistakes is the most important quality that separates a grown person from an actual adult.
This is what puts a stop to most legal disputes as well. These company manners are always worked about the LIABILITY! Of course attourneys are going to tell you to never admit fault, they want to bill for as many hours as possible. Just sitting down and apologizing goes a long way.
Oh, this is a great one. I agree
I’ll take your advice one step further: after you’ve hand-squiggied yourself, do a quick towel dry in the shower. Dry your feet as you step out and you won’t get any water on the floor
Then what’s even the point of feeling yourself up? But you’re right about the floor! I have a textured faux wood floor in my bathroom and I don’t even own a
Batmanbathmat. (Sadly, I also don’t own a batman. ☹️) It’s never slippery after I shower.You should invest. Nothing gets you dry better than a good Batman.
