Finding new ways to make life alittlemore manageable is never a bad thing.
Here’s what they had to say below:
1.
“I shower immediately after I get home at night.
“Random acts of kindness and compliments.
I count how long people go in between saying nice things.
It’s shocking how much bad shit people spew without even realizing it.
Throw out some good vibes, and youll get it back tenfold.
Your hair looks great is fine, but wow, you look great since losing weight is not.”

“I started listening to my digestive system.
“One tiny habit that has changed my life is never leaving a room empty-handed.
There is ALWAYS something in the room Im in that belongs in a room near or where Im going.

“Being a busy mom and wife, I struggled to find time for myself when life was quiet.
So I now wake up one hour before everyone else.
I give myself one hour of quiet.
I go to bed early and wake up before the kids and my husband.
I am able to sit in silence and have my coffee alone.
Do my morning routine at my own pace.
I can go outside when the weather is nice and have some air.
I can stretch, do my skincare, listen to music, read, or journal.
Whatever I need in that hour for me.
“Asking for help before Im at the brink of burnout.
Childhood neglect has conscious and subconscious hooks.

“I started leaving my phone in other rooms for hours at a time.
If I am in the living room, it’s on the kitchen table.
If I am cleaning my bedroom, it’s in the living room.
“I left my abusive ex.
It was hard and scary, but Im finally free!!

“I made it aNew Year’s resolutionto get in touch with a friend every day.
It makes me feel less lonely and improves friendships.”
“Stop beating myself up constantly and being so damn hard on myself all the time.
But ALSO, allow myself to feel good about my accomplishments and the good things I do.
I should be my biggest cheerleader.
I should be always rooting for me to win.
Now, I just say, ‘Oopsie,’ and move the hell on.
This is so much better for your mental health, people.

“I blocked my ex on social media, so I’d quit peeking at his profile.
Not seeing his life updates has really improved my life.”
“I started saying no to the closest people in my life.
It also made me realize how tired I was taking care of everyone else.

“Sometimes it’s better to half-ass something than not do it at all.
I have six pets, so the chores pile up in my house.
“A few years ago, I stopped looking at my phone when I woke up in the mornings.
I dont always take it all in, but its a nice way to wake up.
I also set my alarm for when I needed to be out of bed.
I get better quality sleep and feel less tired during the day.
