("Atomic Habits" inspired) What is the smallest / easiest things you can tweak about your daily life *today*?

Hello!

What a lovely post.

To answer your question, I think I can make time to go for morning walks. I think that will help give me a boost!

Thanks for the post! <3 🌿🌺

I'm going to take out 10 minutes to exercise each day.

It's not a lot, but it keeps the momentum going!

Making my bed in the morning really helps me with my mental health by setting my mindset for the day 😌

What is the smallest /easiest thing you can tweak about your daily life today for the better?

Reduce screen time

@Helpingheart23 posted one of the best suggestions in this thread...I have to agree. Reducing screen time would benefit me greatly. Yesterday I erased Instagram from my phone. It's not the first time I've done that; have abstained from my account there for weeks at a time. But the last time was a while back...might need to again. Less screen time = more time to do other things, less time watching news about horrible events that are beyond my control, & hopefully a bit more sleep. (That last one is unlikely but a man can dream, can't he?)

Awww, thank you 😊 I'm glad you're doing something that helps you focus on other things that are important to you, while improving your mental health. On that note, I hope you get enough sleep soon.

Starting with small, manageable goals works well for me. I try to take into account my mental state too when setting goals. You still need time for yourself to do something that doesn't feel like a chore. :)

At this point, I would be starting over with many of my goals. So, I would want to take it slow so that I don't get overwhelmed, just start procrastinating, and not do anything at all.

I think something many people may not take into account when setting goals is time. Time moves very fast, which can be an advantage, not a disadvantage in this situation.For example, it will be three months into the future before you know it and, at that time, your goals may have (stress-free) doubled or quadrupled if you start small and work your way up in small increments. At the end of last year, I was accomplishing A LOT each day, but that's only because I worked my way up very slowly so once I got to that point, it did not feel like A LOT. It felt like a normal day. :)

My weight loss and health coach advises everyone to read this book! ❤️ All of the ones I see listed here are good ones for me. I would add, going to sleep at a decent time. For me, that’s getting in bed around 8, reading for an hour and then still having an hour to fall asleep by 10, because that’s how long it takes me 🤷‍♀️
