1) Exercise. Lift and do cardio. Make the days you don’t lift cardio days. If you don’t feel like going, just go to the gym. For lifting, do SL 5x5 although any routine is fine. For cardio, aim to do 30-60 mins LISS and add in a couple of HIIT sessions if you like.
2) Sleep well. Wake up early and sleep the same hours each night. Get sunlight as soon as possible when you wake up. Don’t consume caffeine after 2 PM, get those eye covers if you have light in your room and noise blocking earbuds if you need them. Use a weighted blanket. If you use melatonin, you probably need a lot less than you think (0.3 mg)
3) Spend time each day away from your devices. Just think, allow yourself to be bored. Bonus if you can do this in a natural setting.
4) Meditate. Start with five minutes twice a day and move up to twenty minutes twice per day. Focus on your breathing and bring your attention back to your breath when it wanders.
5) Gratitude Journal. Pretty simple but scientifically shown to increase happiness. Write down ten things each day that you’re grateful for.
6) Socialize. You don’t have to just talk to Stacy’s and PSL 6+ people. Talk to people throughout the day regardless of whether they’re people you look up to or not. This can be casual like small talk with a cashier (does not need to be a foid!!!!). Join a group or organization, any group or organisation where people regularly meet. Church, school club, sports league, professional society. Become a regular.
