What is something small you can do almost (if not everyday) to improve on yourself?

Meditate even if for only 5 minutes

Some kind of sport. It dont have to be competitive/dificult just some exercise. Preferably outside, 150 min per week can make wonders.

Pay-it-forward to yourself.

Put out the clothes for tomorrow-you in the evening. Vacuum the living room as a favor for dead-tired-10-oclock-you.

It even works on much longer time scales: Lift weights so old-you don’t break a hip and miss taking the grandchildren to the zoo.

Forgive your past self. Respect your future self. Live in the present.

I put my clothes out for the next day! Best feeling is being able to just hop in shower and not have to worry about it. Was actually just starting to think I’m a little crazy for doing that lol

• clean up after the party is over while you’re still drunk. gives your head time to stop spinning so you’re ready to sleep comfortably, plus it feels like it takes no time since your perception of that is all warped. waking up in a clean apartment is the greatest gift you can receive with a hangover

It is such a strange feeling finding dish soap in your refrigerator the next day, though!

Read for 30 minutes before sleep. Not just articles, but a real, paper-bound book. Helps with sleep, learning, and reading comprehension in the future.

And write down every word you don’t know.

I have an anki card deck of all those words and I’ve greatly expanded my vocab doing that for 1 minute every morning while I have coffee.

This combined with the other guy’s “get a proper night’s rest” is a tough one. I always try to read for a half hour, but end up getting absorbed and reading for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I think I need to start reading drier books.

Or start reading earlier…

Sing to yourself. You can have a much wider vocal range with just a little bit of practice. It doesn’t have to be anything challenging, even a simple “row row row your boat” is already a nice exercise.
Personally I find it very soothing and it helps me focus when I’m doing something on my own. Plus I love how my voice can sound when I put in a little effort :)

I sing to my dog when I get his food ready. I’m almost certain he thinks I’m a weirdo appreciates it

Both can be true at the same time :)
