Riding my bike to work

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 2 days ago

having at least 10hrs of sleep

[-] flubba86@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Bruh... If I get less than 7.5 hours sleep, I'm tired all day. But if I get more than 8.5 hours sleep, I'm also tired all day. There's the magic window of time in the middle where I wake up relatively refreshed.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

you can get groggy, if you oversleep.

[-] Olkiss@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The aim which is hard to achieve

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 8 points 2 days ago

I have a few things I've picked up recently.

  1. A couple of years ago I quit drinking coffee, so now I almost exclusively drink water. I find the water first thing in the morning is a brilliant way to wake up
  2. In the evenings I go for a bike ride, giving me some fresh air, sunlight and exercise. Some nights I go for a 20 mile intercity route, some nights I just do an easy 5 mile route in town
  3. After my bike ride I'll eat some ice cream, shower, then relax with a book in bed (my phone stays on my dresser and out of reach from the bed) before going to sleep

The right morning routine and evening routine really makes my days feel so much more fulfilling even if I haven't been particularly productive that day

[-] shamrt@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Is the ice cream just a treat, or...?

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

Yup post ride ice cream to as a treat to cool down and replenish sugar after sweating a bunch. I otherwise avoid treats/excessive sugar, but something about ice cream after an intense workout just is amazing

A couple of years ago I quit drinking coffee, so now I almost exclusively drink water. I find the water first thing in the morning is a brilliant way to wake up. It is actually the best thing every to do in the morning. A glass of water. I read some articles about that it helps nicely, softly to wake up the body and also to prepare the stomach. And obviously to be hydrated. I do the same. Glass of water (quite big one) + Vitamins C, Zinc

I’ve been doing some stretching in the morning, and I have a small weight set that I do a little bit of lifting with. As you get older your body no matter its condition will start to break down. It’s good to have a better pan and diet as you get older.

[-] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

I lift weights four days a week. It really has helped me with a lot of inflammation issues and I really have so much more energy. It's not every day exactly, but four days a week I'm lifting for about an hour and a half each session. My life significantly improved after about the first six to eight weeks.

[-] Olkiss@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Four days in a week in a row or you take in between some rest days?

[-] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I take off Wednesday and then every weekend. I appreciate sleeping in on Wednesday like you wouldn't believe.

[-] Olkiss@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Actually, having a Wednesday off is so great. You can go around the city, it is empty, you can enjoy the streets etc. I have always recommended my team to experience at least once a Wednesday off

[-] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Lift weights, lots of water and protein.

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago

I hug a tree. I dunno if it makes life noticeably better but it’s a vibe. I lost quite a few trees in a storm last year and feel like I’ve under appreciated them for way too long. No more!

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

My wife does the same, and after we tried shoots the first time, I do the same now. Lost our second biggest tree last year in a storm, fell due to to much water, so the roots came with it, but it happened where we don't need to trim it, so now it's just laying there. We'll let nature take it's course. And we have enough firewood.

Edit: shrooms dammit.

One of my favourite activity

[-] ptc075@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 days ago

Serious upvote here. This is a game changer, it's right in front of our noses, and it's free.

Hardest part is figuring out how to make yourself actually sleep - just lying down in the bed isn't enough.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Sex in the morning.

A shower in the evening.

Riding the ebike to/from work instead of driving.

[-] DaniNatrix@leminal.space 5 points 2 days ago

I set aside 20 minutes in the morning to journal. It's become sacred to me. It helps me clear my head and set my focus for the day.

[-] 7EP6vuI@feddit.org 32 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

not giving a fuck

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 26 points 4 days ago

To be honest even my go tos are not working very well. Walking, bathing, nature.

Make a cocktail before dinner. Not saying it's the right thing for everyone, but it brings joy, relaxation and a nice moment of quality couple time with my partner.

Get up at the same time every day, even when I don't have to. Having a nice solid circadian rhythm makes me feel much better in several ways.

[-] Samsonreturns@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Stretch for 15 minutes 2 times a day

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I take 100mg of welbutrin every morning. Seems to do a decent job of making my life better

[-] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 4 days ago

I chug a tall glass of cold water first thing in the morning. Wakes me up a bit, gets the guts moving for a morning shit, and obviously helps rehydrate after sleeping.

Meditate. It was difficult in the beginning but since doing it consistently every day I've found a way to "dissolve" almost instantly.

[-] cibicibi@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago

Drinking a hot tea for breakfast while lookong the landscape from the balcony.

A good 30+ mins jog, especially for ADHD enjoyers.

Mine? Hmm...... I would say if you would see my mum you would think twice. She is a tough cookie :)

[-] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

OP's mom is not a small thing.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 days ago

I think of three things for which I am grateful every day. Reminders fire on all my devices and I don't dismiss the reminder until I complete the task. That might be first thing after I get my senses after waking up. It might not be until 7pm. But I do it every day, almost without fail (unless ill or something).
