I am not needlessly cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals living in atrocity several times a day.

My immediate emotional reaction is usually some degree of "have you misplaced your brain?" So it's good to pause.

Same reason I have a 3 minute delay for outgoing emails.

I think of three things for which I am grateful every day. Reminders fire on all my devices and I don't dismiss the reminder until I complete the task. That might be first thing after I get my senses after waking up. It might not be until 7pm. But I do it every day, almost without fail (unless ill or something).

I’ve been doing some stretching in the morning, and I have a small weight set that I do a little bit of lifting with. As you get older your body no matter its condition will start to break down. It’s good to have a better pan and diet as you get older.

If he was, the routine would also involve an ice cold lake and vodka...

My wife does the same, and after we tried shoots the first time, I do the same now. Lost our second biggest tree last year in a storm, fell due to to much water, so the roots came with it, but it happened where we don't need to trim it, so now it's just laying there. We'll let nature take it's course. And we have enough firewood.

Edit: shrooms dammit.

I do aperitif half the days of the week, after making supper but before eating it, and when weather permits, sit on the front porch or back deck to drink it.

It really is a nice pause. Not so necessary now I am working from the office again, when we had to work from home a drink was the absolute best divider between work day and personal time. Just one.

What are the two sources?

I lift weights four days a week. It really has helped me with a lot of inflammation issues and I really have so much more energy. It's not every day exactly, but four days a week I'm lifting for about an hour and a half each session. My life significantly improved after about the first six to eight weeks.

Drinking a hot tea for breakfast while lookong the landscape from the balcony.

Sex in the morning.

A shower in the evening.

Riding the ebike to/from work instead of driving.

The realest life hack.

I drink water

Lift weights, lots of water and protein.

Nah, not really. Beer is more of a drink after sauna, because it hydrates as well. (Yes the overall alcohol is a diuretic but beer as opposed to vodka.)

After sauna you can maybe have a shot or two but that's just for a weekend sauna or something.

Going to the sauna is hardly anymore special than taking a bath. In fact I'd argue that more Finnish households have saunas than bathtubs, although that is a guess. We have more saunas than registered cars.

Pretty much every apartment, even studios, built after like 1990 has a sauna. Perhaps of the tiniest ones don't, but a small one small two-room apartment built after -95 definitely would. Mine does. And these are cheap government rentbuildings.

There's no lake at my apartment building, so I just have to settle for a cool shower and/or sometimes standing on the balcony in the winter.

And if you live in an apartment building that you don't have a personal sauna in, there's definitely one in your building still which you're allowed to reserve as a tenant, for like an hour or two a week, some for free some for like 2e/h.

I set aside 20 minutes in the morning to journal. It's become sacred to me. It helps me clear my head and set my focus for the day.

I read an interview with Jenna Jameson a million years ago. The interviewer asked what was in the future. She answered something about her career and then, "make myself cum every day, whether I needed it or not", and I think that is just about the greatest advice for anyone. I've rarely missed a day in at least 20 years.

I take 100mg of welbutrin every morning. Seems to do a decent job of making my life better

Riding my bike to work
