    The older I get, the more i don’t really care about other people’s opinions, or remarks, and it’s refreshing to say the least!

      I’m with you on that, i have a very manual job, im pretty much on my feet all day, and so i know the importance of looking after your back, it’s not fun to put your back out while stooping over picking up an empty box!

      It’s surprising just how good water is for you, i literally just used to drink coffee everyday, now im fast approaching the big five-oh and I’ve cut right down with the coffee intake and started drinking water more frequently.

    Daily walks.

    Nowadays, I take long walks (I will walk at least 6 or 8 km) but I started with really short ones, as back then I was barely able to walk at all — because of my bad physical health. How short were those first walks? Well, I celebrated the first time I managed to walk down our street and back without being exhausted for the entire day ;)

    When I’m looking for something, and find it after searching, then I put it back in the first place I looked. Because that is apparently the most logical place where I expect it to be, and that is also where I would likely look for it next time.

    Not buying a car so I have to walk everywhere. Not only is it great for the environment but also for my health.

    Meal planning. I eat better, save money, and minimize food waste. It’s nice to look at my weekly chart and know exactly what I’m eating for dinner, no thought required beyond my planning sessions on Sundays.

    I’ve gotten back into recreational reading. Started by reading very easy material at a designated time (young adult literature and manga before dinner). Also got into the book review side of YouTube for inspiration of what to read next. The former practice built up the habit and the latter gave motivation to read some of the great works out there. Just finished War and Peace and I’m now going tearing through my science fiction backlog.

    For each hour or so using the computer, I stand up and stretch a bit. Legs and feet; shoulders, arms, hands; back, neck; eye exercises (rolling eyes, focusing far and near). It’s a great way to combat drowsiness, and it improves my articulations.

    Brush my teeth with an electric toothbrush for 2 minutes every night and do simple exercises while brushing, like squats and leg lifts.

    Cycling everywhere. Too broke for a car. Had excellent credit until last year and depression and alcoholism and ptsd consumed most of me. Public transport exists here but ain’t nearly enough.

    Today I went to do laundry. On the return trip, I let the ADHD navigate and I followed some trails in the woods along the river and noted some cool points worthy of further exploration. Including some sort of abandoned, partially demolished plant with a still standing huge brick tower. I normally hate that bike ride to the laundromat, but I’m looking forward to the next trip in a week or two.
