Proper sleep?

If it's sunny: go for a good walk (about 5km/3mi). Or failing that, take the cat outside and sit on the back patio for a little while. The sun exposure gives me some much needed vitamin D.

Other than that, I make sure I get some quiet time each day to recharge away from other people, virtual and otherwise.

Eat right, walk, shower, brush teeth, sleep, help in the community.

I try but that is the one that gets goofed up first by life not being great.

not giving a fuck

still giving to much fucks, but at least i'm tying

Sometimes I get solo so tired and overstimulated I can't sleep at night. Even closing my eyes for 20 minutes during the next day can mean I get a decent sleep at night. Also 10 or 15 minutes of morning sunshine helps, I think it helps melatonin production iirc.

I always attempt to get about 8 hours a sleep everynight. I have been tossing and turning so my sleep has not been great.

I like to bow and namaste. Even with the worst things, I still give reverence to the universe, and despite my dislike for something or someone, these too have meaning, somehow, someway. It is not my position to know why, just that I recognize it and accept it.

Are you from Finland?

No! But it would be an amazing place to live!

Yes, everyone is different. Something else that helped was a bunch of bs happening and having a major ego death. I happened to be unemployed, so took the time to stay to myself except for going out for food and toiletries, quit the little weed and drinking I did and got really into doing what Jung called shadow work. It was painful, messy, and all-around not fun. But wholly worth it. After this community project is finished, I'm probably going to get busy with that shadow work again. I can tell I've neglected it too long.

Im with you on unemployment unfortunately. Closing in on a year. Just read another we ware not going with you and have one active possibility (contact after resume). Which has almost where I have been constantly at since the spring. Was worse from just before the election through the winter though with spans of nothing return contact wise (outside of we are not moving forward with the role). I doubt I will find an ego death and I have nothing to quit but soda. Which aint happening.

I think shadow work was the point. Best to you, either way.

Eta: briefly skimmed this, it seems decent at a glance https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_(psychology)

Leave slack DMs 15-20 mins before answering

Make a cocktail before dinner. Not saying it's the right thing for everyone, but it brings joy, relaxation and a nice moment of quality couple time with my partner.

Good approach

Approved... On my side more depending who is trying to talk to me...

A good drink can help to get back the good mood

I try to knock off work an hour earlier than I planned to in the morning and take my dog for a walk. Sometimes I even leave my phone behind. It is surprisingly relaxing just knowing I could have a heart attack back in the tree line and the dog would be the only other thing to know where I was.

I chug a tall glass of cold water first thing in the morning. Wakes me up a bit, gets the guts moving for a morning shit, and obviously helps rehydrate after sleeping.
