Including the positive impact after removing unwanted habits or hobbies too
As other people said, walks are great. Good way to decompress after work.
I also do yoga twice a week. Helped a lot with my back, and keeps my flexibility at a reasonable level.
Instead of cherry picking “low effort” habits or hobbies. Pick habits you value and hobbies you like, then just put in a bit of effort starting from the lowest amount. Stop when you think it’s too much.
call friends & loved ones even if there’s no particular reason to
Do a kindness to someone without expectation of recognition or return
Read a book
Find an enjoyable exercise
Sit under a tree on a nice day
Reading novels; helped me grow my vocabulary and helped me learn empathy and critical thinking by putting me in other people’s shoes
No matter how much your brain tells you that it’s go time… You need to take 10 minutes a day to stare at the ceiling, have a bath, or do nothing and turn that fucker off.
E: I know my own brain, it will not stop. So I literally have a repeat task in my calendar and my do not disturb set to go on for that 10 minutes automatically!
Leisure walk every day. 30 minutes is enough.
Don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol.
Drink a lot of water.
Regular sleep schedule. Sleep hygiene.
Eat healthy.
Appreciative social contacts.
Going for a walk is generally a good thing.
Team Sports are pretty good for a social life. As in casual leagues. Just daydrinking with extra steps.
