I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

    If you see a problem you can fix, it’s best to fix it right away because very often it can become way worse if you leave it for later, costing more time, effort, and money to fix than if you just took care of it immediately. Everytime that little voice says “you can fix that later” you tell it to stfu.

    About the shower, I hang my towel just outside of the shower and get it before I step out. I get myself mostly dry before stepping on to the shower mat.

    Try to eat healthy and perform a minimal workout every day. Eat more fresh fruits or vegetables. It’s quick to make a simple yogurt bowl with fruit and granola, or a salad with lean meat or chick peas. Start with a few push ups, crunches, reverse crunches, and at least a 30 minute walk. Small changes gradually will help you feel better with how you look and feel with a small time investment.

      Preach. Get a food scale!

      I counted calories for a bit to eat healthier and balance my nutrition.

      I stopped after 3 months but I quickly realized that serving sizes ae WAY smaller than you’d think.

      A bowl of cereal or chips could be 2 or 3 servings. Donuts and muffins are garbage. Ham and cheese? Triple the ham and cut the cheese in half. Mayo is horrible but plain mustard is 0 cal.

      I didn’t eat any less but I made my meals healthier and lost weight without changing my workout.

      I also ate bad stuff without cheating. Chicken salad for dinner and a scoop of ice cream for a late night snack under budget.

    If you use fresh ginger root, you can use a spoon to scrape of the brown skin. Scrape the edge over the skin and it will just peel off.

    I didn’t believe how easy this was when at first I tried this.

    Some of us have a habit of listening to that nasty little voice in our heads that says we’re a failure, that we’re weak, that we have to work harder than anyone else to just be.

    Next time you hear it starting to list all the ‘bad/wrong’ stuff you’ve done, tell it to shut up … and keep telling it to shut up every time you realize you’re listening to it. Then think on a good thing you did for a friend or neighbour.

    Self-flagellation should never be our bestie.

    Take a lunch break, both of those things, lunch and a break. Do anything other than work and sit down to eat something so you can enjoy it. Take a break in the middle of the day, you’re worth it and you deserve it.

      One of the hardest things for me. My relax space is home and I can’t make it there on my lunch. My brain doesn’t wanna switch out of work mode because then it could take way too long to switch back.

    Smalltalk starter pack:

    • (during the day) “So how’s your day going?”
    • (in the evening) “So how was your day?”
    • (before the weekend) “what you up to on Saturday?”
    • (before the week) “what’s your week looking like?”

    Easy small repeatable things that open people up. I use it on everyone, and I make sure that I care about the answer because I’m genuinely curuous

    There is nuance to nearly everthing that exists. All of life happens with the grey area- perfectly balanced between the black and white boundaries most people refuse to look away from.

    If you shower at the gym, you don’t need a whole bath towel to dry yourself. A regular hand towel is sufficient, and it takes up way less room in your gym bag.

      Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.

      I have a wand thing with microfiber pads. Not only does it allow me to reach the the windshield in front of me, I can clean the passenger side as well.

      Are you talking about one of the erasers that is like a piece of industrial carpet on the bottom, or the other type that’s foamy rubber (like what the sole of a running shoe is made of)?
