An incomplete list of things that make me feel better and I should make sure I do more often.
I feel better when I…
– spend time with my family
– spend less time online, particularly on algorithm driven sites like Reddit
– do things to help other people
– am physically active
– read books and long form content rather than skimming through dopamine trap headlines
– don’t have to worry about money
– get on with the work rather than endlessly tinkering with the scaffolding around it
– have purpose
– eat well
– drink enough water
– know that I have used my time wisely
– put on new socks
– focus on doing one thing at a time
– slow down
– am not too hot and not too cold
– sleep well
– feel as if what I am doing has value
