HEY GUYS
This is a thread I've wanted to make where all the GR crew can post little bits of wonderful information that could potentially make another GRians lives better. Little things you've learned throughout your time here on earth that maybe make you feel better, more confident, healthier, more energized, more motivated, etc. etc. etc.
Maybe we can all give everyone elses advice a shot and see how it works and report back in this thread! Just to get the thread rolling I'll give you some examples of what I'm talking about. It can range from extremely small, to extremely large. Whatever you've found has made you happier and improved your overall quality of life.
I'll start with 3 that I live by.
1) Eat lots of fiber. Honestly, I always heard this but figured hey I poop, I'm not constipated, why should I eat more fiber. Then I started eating bran flakes every morning, and every night, with 1 cup of frozen mixed berries. It's my night snack and my breakfast.
I poop on a timer now. And they're not just any poops, these poops are BODY emptying, leave you feeling fresh and alive poops. And I'm not saying this to be gross, or funny, I want it to be taken seriously. You can TELL how much healthier it makes you, your digestive tract just feels healthier, and clean.. weird I know, but honestly try it for 1-2 weeks. And it has to be some serious fiber like bran flakes. I always eat whole grain bread, lots of veggies etc. But it wasn't until I started eating 2-4 cups of bran flakes a day that miracles started happening.
2) Stay fit, get exercise. Even if it's 25 minutes a day 5-6 days a week, get outside, get on a treadmill, do whatever and make yourself sweat and get that heart rate up. The more you do the better, of course (well to an extent), but even 25 minutes a day, hell even 20, will make you look better, feel better, be more confident, have more motivation etc. The list goes on. Exercise is honestly to me, the base of a great life. It gives you all the tools to excel everywhere else.
3) Get sun. If it's sunny out, get off your ass and get outside. even if it's for 30 minutes, just sit in the sun and absorb that vitamin D. 30 minutes will not hurt you, unless you're currently of a vampiric complexion. If so start at 15 minutes and work your way up gradually. More than 30 minutes I wouldn't advise without sunscreen, (though I still do it and shouldn't), but 30 minutes is just great. The sun gives me SO much energy and makes me feel so good. Even if I've done nothing else that day, but got 30 minutes or so of sunshine, I'll feel good enough. Gives you color, makes most people more attractive, and gives you energy. Can't go wrong.
Right now I'm addicted to Diablo 3. But these are basically the three rules I MUST live by or I'd uninstall it. Despite playing many, many hours a day, I go to the gym (just got back), eat healthy, and get some sun (going outside after this post because it's a gorgeous day). These three things keep me feeling great and looking alive despite being addicted to a video game at the moment.
TL;DR
Eat lots of fiber
Get exercise
Get sunshine
