@amiablePeace77
No more box bread for me, starting today. I cannot control myself with the amounts so such a drastic solution is taking place

@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
It's hard but your body will be thankful. Sometimes radical renunciation is the best way. 
@amiablePeace77
My body?

@amiablePeace77
Radical renunciation worked for me whereas hooked on phonics failed me!
@forko23
Sorry that it did not work for you, pure phonics is not for everyone, there are many people who cannot use it. Hope there will be something for you to help though, maybe talk to a reading expert?
Glad to hear the radical renunciation helps.
What is one thing you could start doing today to improve the quality of your life?
Today we have a holiday. This is a good opportunity to start with different activities:
a) I will start the 100-days-of-productivity challenge for the second time today. I have already completed the challenge once and that helped me a lot. This time my focus will be on the reorganization and cleanliness of my apartment.
b) I will also start today with the 100-days-of-kindness challenge, which is about consciously doing one special act of kindness to others each day.
I wish all of you a wonderful day and much success with everything you are doing/starting to improve the quality of your life. 
@MAE1701
I love those challenges, particularly the second one
More exercise.
@rationalWater7635
Great idea , what kind of exercise do you like most?
Radical renunciations for me too....I have renounced my addictions and my next step.will be to do today: tidy up.😊simple
@sparklesinthewater
Awesome! Dealing with addiction is hard and often others do not see how much it takes to resist the urge
I can just relax at being me. Me, with all my glory, and all my human fluff-ups. My mistakes aren't going to cause dams to burst or fires to break out; so I can relax and not force myself at a punishing perfectionist pace.
Have a relaxing weekend, everybody.
@redKite4725
Great attitude, we never can achieve perfectionism, it's just an illusion which could destroy us.
@amiablePeace77
I have to seek out areas and venues where I can meet some more people with similar interests
@Dancersoul
That's a great idea, people with similar interests connect usually very easily and fast.
What is one thing you could start doing today to improve the quality of your life? Heck, I don't know. Maybe taking more days off, seeing my girlfriend more, find a new house to live in. Many things could improve my life, none are really possible right now.
@Offmytrack
I hope that your wishes will come true one day, hopefully there is also something, even if it's a small thing, which you could do to have a better day?
@amiablePeace77, my girlfriend has asked me to call her each morning. That really brightens up my day.
@Offmytrack
How sweet
@amiablePeace77 sleeping enough but not too much.
@soulsings
Nice soul, I find too little sleep makes me tired but too much too.
Planning and preparing healthy meals- esp since we are about to have shorter day length.
@barncat
Good idea barncat, eating healthy can change a lot.
Resting and visiting.
Doing more and not just thinking about it.
@rationalWater7635
Nice Water, nothing is better than a good rest.
@amiablePeace77
need to put my family first x
@mooboxer yes thinking of others can have multiple benefits of making them feel better and being easier to be around. Plus we spend less time focusing in our mind on our own problems.
@mooboxer
Mooboxer, I can see how important your family is for you, hope though that you willl also care for yourself
