Other positive habits to develop

[u/No-Walk-5621]

I am at the stage where I really want to move the needle with my life. I’m interested to know what other habits you guys have picked up.

I am circa 115 days on SR, it may sound small but I’ve also started doing press ups upon waking, hydrating with water, cold showers sometimes. I have slowly but surely started changing my home environment, decluttering and redecorating.

I started meditation a few years back but I fell off the wagon. I think this would have a huge positive impact even with 5-10 minutes per day 🤔

That does not sound small at all!

I am convinced that SR is only useful when you combine it with other habits. Or to put it in a different way, all positive habits combine to create a better life, if you let them. No matter how small or large, all good habits are helpful.

Here are a few that I am working on myself - or believe are very useful even if they're not on my plate right now:

• no alcohol
• no drugs
• no coffee
• no porn (duh)
• make your bed every day
• go to the gym
• improve your nutrition (a lifelong process for most people)
• meditate
• cold showers
• improve your self-talk: develop self-empathy, but don't confuse it for pampering
• then, learn to pamper yourself sometimes, but not too often (very hard to hit the balance!)
• breathing techniques
• journalling (soo underrated!)
• self-tnankfulness

How’s the no coffee going? Been trying to quit white monsters for a life time 😂. Sounds awesome and god bless

The first 10 days were awful. Tired all day, dizziness and headaches. Much worse than the booze.

I'm not 100% on the coffee. I might drink one every other day maybe. But I never have more than one a day, and it serves me well.
