"A consistent sleep schedule means I wake up rested, rather than starting each day already behind."

I can attest to this because each time I didn't sleep well a night before, it messes up my day, and I do fall behind.

It’s amazing the difference refusing to participate in rage and negativity can have. Like the sky clearing after a thunderstorm, but in this case you control the clouds.

I like this list and already adopt most of these practices but I think there are two conditions that must be met before these actions can work their magic: Financial security and flexible work arrangements.

Yeah buddy! I’m with you on these. I have implemented or am working to implement these as well… I’d also add, that I eat whole foods and keto centric whenever I can. I don’t like rigid rules so I set principles for myself like this an then if I’m hitting it about 75-85% of the time I call that a big win! Cheers!

I live by these ideas too. It makes all the difference. I have a weekly and daily schedule for cleaning and shopping to avoid crowds and rush hour. I have never been happier with my life!

It’s about self-care. I just wrote about it in my journal this morning. It is to be protected.

Dr. Gabriel Mate worked for years with women who had cancer. Each woman, he contested recently, was a caregiver of everyone else but herself. This really says it all about how not taking care of yourself can bring about illnesses that can emerge from that self- disconnection.

Kudos to your list and to all of us who already practice those things and realize how valuable they— and we, are.
