What's one healthy habit that vastly improved your quality of life?
by•
A lot of us tend to neglect our health, being so entrenched in the work we're doing. That's unfortunate because without health, we can't really do much. It should be prioritized above all.
Prioritizing health starts with simple habits. Personally, exercising even just 45 minutes a day (usually in the morning) - whether that's lifting weights or shooting hoops has greatly improved my posture, energy levels, confidence, and mental clarity. It sounds cliche, but I really do believe exercising is a super-enhancer.
What is one healthy habit that has yielded improvements for you?

sleep, lifting heavy, and intense cardio are the obvious GOATs, so will set those aside.
If I had to choose ONE, it would be prioritizing mobility (through yoga or other methods). Changed the way I feel all the time, physically and mentally. Gave me more power when lifting. Reduced injury risk. Enabled more sports.
A lot of people get this wrong about mobility (I used to too): it's the same thing as trying to build a lot of muscle. It takes YEARS. Mobility progress comes in nanometers, and consistency matters here almost more than anything else in fitness.
However, there's a long list of very small things that have an outsized impact (I'm not consistent with these all the time)
Dimming entire house leading up to bedtime
Stopped reading the news 100% entirely
Surfing (steroids for mental health)
Low carb breakfast and lunch (way more energy throughout the day)
Outside walk right after dinner
Setting TODO list the night before
Drinking a lot of water
Standing desk
Occasional meditation and breath work
Drinking WAY less
Doing 7-3 job instead of 9-5.
