Adopting a cat.
Losing 120 pounds
Going off birth control
Going to the gym and changing my diet.
Getting back in shape, over Covid I let myself go a fair bit, very much past that now and exercising daily again. Some people love that being big lifestyle, but for me I was miserable.
Meditation. Once you get it the results are amazing. Mindfulness in particular.
Bidet, new bed frame, drop off laundry service, meditation and mindfulness, eating healthier, quitting soda.
Divorce.
Standing up for myself against bullying behaviour.
Get a job I actually love
Working out and socializing
hugging a pillow or sth similar when sitting in front of a desk, it fills the gap and just so comfortable. cant live without it
Learning these things:
1) Standing up for myself against bullying behaviour.
2) Not seeking validation.
3) Not people pleasing.
4) Not operating out of fear. It’s ok if a relationship ends, it’s ok if I get fired, it’s ok if I’m abandoned. I’m not a character in a movie, a picture or a book stuck in a timeframe. I can reinvent, adapt and thrive.
The gym
Not constantly worrying about what people think of me.
Lost a bunch of weight in my 40’s Should have done it in my pre-teens.
Quit addictions. Life really improved after quitting nicotine and alcohol. More energy, less emotional turmoil, better rest.
Seeing a therapist. I was the one who found my dad had taken his own life and held all that shit in for way too long. To the men out there struggling…it’s ok to be vulnerable and it’s ok to see a therapist.
Bought a speaker after all my life gaming and watching movies with screen built in speakers… OMG…
Getting in shape and working out regularly. It improved my sense of diligence, self-esteem and I feel I have more energy than before. Since I got into fitness I like to eat more because I try new things and control calories, when I was overweight I used to eat because I was bored or sad, getting on a scale was a nightmare. Now If I want something I really like I eat it less but it’s more satisfying, like a reward
Stop talking to toxic people.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion: Reading self-help books.
Completely removing a toxic “friend” from my life
I gave up soda’s and started drinking a veggie juice once a day. I used to get sick all the time and my immune system was garbage. My kidney’s also started functioning not so well. So I gave up soda’s entirely (I was having at least 2 a day) and started drinking freshly made veggie juices, especially ones with things like cabbage that actually clean the kidney’s. I feel so much better, lost about 30 lbs and my immune system is so much stronger! I am by no means a hippie, I love steak and really don’t enjoy eating vegetables, but I cannot deny the health benefits.
Quit drinking and smoking. Took years but well worth it.
Surprisingly: Getting a dishwasher. I feel like I’m living in the lap of luxury after hand-washing my dishes the past 13 years.
Divorce
Zoloft. I was so afraid to try medicine for the help I needed. Once it set in, it was like a crushing weight was lifted off my soul. I truly believe it saved my life. That said, I also did therapy at the same time. Regardless, everyone’s journey is different and what worked for me may not work for everyone else.
1. Going for a daily walk. Especially since I have bad joints.
2. Neutral self talk
Sleep study. Getting my Apnea diagnosed completely changed my life. You don’t realize how tired you are until you actually wake up rested.
Finally got off my ass and got a sleep study and got my CPAP machine last December. I should’ve done this 25+ years ago. It’s crazy how much different I feel since I’m actually sleeping now. My wife also loves me not snoring anymore lol.
Exercise has changed my life. I went from the age of 12 to 43 being overweight and never comfortable in my own skin when I decided to do something about it. A friend got me into indoor rowing which then moved on to running and now I’m doing triathlon. 50 years old and never been fitter yet the positive impact on my mental health has been the biggest surprise. My only small regret in life would be not getting into this sooner.

Whenever I learn about someone I start to admire or respect in any way I Google their name plus the word “controversy”.
