    Not that it bothered me but just to let you know that the text on tip #6 also reads as "phone-free mornings" 👍🏻

      Thanks for catching that Noah. The text on #6 should read "gratitude journaling."

    1. Phone free mornings (begin your day in silence, meditate)
    2. Drink more water (at least 8 glasses a day)
    3. Move more (5 minutes every hour)
    4. Tech-free meal time (mindful eating)
    5. Daily decluttering (spend 10 minutes daily decluttering your area)
    6. Gratitude journaling (before bedtime, 3 things you’re grateful for)
    7. Set a sleep schedule (aim to go to bed and wake up at the same everyday, even on weekends)
    8. Cut back on sugar (starts with small swap, water instead of sugary drinks)
    9. A digital detox for an hour (before bedtime)
    10. Connect relationally (at least one genuine conversation daily)

    #11: Do one small good deed every day; e.g. buy a meal for a homeless person, share something positive (love, forgiveness, compassion) on social media, pray for other people and for world peace.

    How just purposing to “do the dishes” (often and consistently) changed my whole relationship with my entire home and greatly improved my mental health. Lol. As they say tho. One thing leads to another…which can be a bad thing or a good thing. But it also is true that decluttering played a huge role in that also. But that too wasn’t what most folks would call a “big” thing.
    Well you know tho. Thank you Dana K White. Lol.
    Another one for me was simply consider myself and my own needs for a change and say NO more often.

    Love this. I definitely need to make decluttering a regular part of my life. I try to add a new daily habit to my life every 6 months or so until it just becomes part of my daily routine. I commit to doing those things daily. I don’t set a time limit on them, so some days I might only read one page in a book and that’s ok. Some things I do every day now consistently are - guided meditation when I first wake up ( even if it’s only a 3 minute one some days), read a book, learn a language on Duolingo, write in my gratitude journal, walk the dog ( only excuse is if I’m sick). At the moment I’m adding daily drawing or painting but struggling a bit with consistency with this one so far 😄

      I can’t claim to know your situation, but I know as a nutritionist, this can be often from low blood sugar. People say it’s a no, but a small protein snack before bed is fine, like one or two pieces of turkey or a small dish of no sugar yogurt. This substantially helps many people. 🩵

    if it means not lying about what you're talking about that is easy.
    but if it means having a deep conversation then that isn't exactly something you can choose to do on your own.

It's like hitting the S at the end of Illinois. It is annoying and it is wrong. It is pronounced. "offen". Thank you.
