What is something that really made a difference, that you could really notice it was giving results?

I have always exercised but gaining weight and lifting weights increased my bone mass at an age that it is supposed to be impossible to do that. I would rather be skinny, looks-wise, it was my identity and now I am so fucking medium sized but feel better, sleep better, and presumably will hold up better.
So, oddly enough, eating regularly and doing heavier exercise.
Intermittent fasting. It’s the only “diet” plan I was actually able to stick with. Just over a year now and I lost 12-15 lbs down to my ideal weight. I think the main thing was that I stopped snacking late into the evening.
Yeah, I think the main thing that makes intermittent fasting effective is exactly this. I don’t believe that there’s anything magical about eating in a time window in itself but not taking in those extra little snacks that all add up is big.
Alcohol. It was not a positive change.
Maybe you need more? But for real, I don’t drink a bunch, but I still give props to people that drink only a little.
I have since quit, and that was a positive change.
Congrats man!
At least 20 mins of daily yoga. My body is aging & the pandemic definitely didn’t help. It’s helped me lose weight, become more aware of how stretching really helps when w a WFH lifestyle, and has taught me to use breath ctrl to help with stress.
How did you learn?
Flossing my teeth in the morning. For years I tried doing it at night before going to bed, and inevitably skipped it because I was too tired.
My dentist has mentioned that my gums are in good shape a few times, so I think that means it’s working.
Keeping the floss in am the shower was my eureka moment! Haven’t missed a day since.
Not sure but this might be genius.
+1 for flossing!
Keeping the dish drying rack empty. If it’s empty, it is much more likely that the people you live with will wash their own dishes.
Also, if I am having a rough start to my day sometimes just grinning like a maniac into empty space for a minute sparks a better mood and motivation.
Capturing everything that came to me into a notebook, task list or whatever. If it’s something I should do and I think I’ll take less than two minutes to complete it, do it now.
Basically started implementing part of the GTD process. For me it has been night and day.
Asking myself “would I associate with this person if they weren’t blood relatives?”
Take notes for things and making alarms. I’m pretty forgetful so this has helped me out a lot.
Keeping a gratitude journal. Every day I think of something I’m grateful for. It could be big or small. And I write it down. I keep them different (a text file I can search helps).
It has given me a more grateful mindset. Because now I’m on the lookout for things to put in my gratitude journal.
