Life Cheat Codes
Life has a different meaning for everyone. But we all can agree upon one thing, 'we want to feel good NOW'
And for that to happen, we all try out or follow different things.
I call them 'Life Cheat Codes'
Example: one of my cheat codes is a workout supplement. It works like caffeine but without any side effects. (Cant mention the name here ofc.) It is said to be the most researched and safe supplement. So, I trust it and it helps me. Not just physically but mentally as well. I even take it on days that I dont have to workout.
What is yours?
@DonaldDraper I like this idea of life cheat codes. I hadn't thought of it before. I've thought about it as a video game; and like chutes and ladders. Your idea of a cheat code is like a ladder. Smart!
Cheat codes I use: every hour before midnight of sleeping is equal to 2 hours in terms of rest, highs and lows at dinner table + one thing you are thankful for, exercise to shift my mood - especially when not feeling as good as I'd like to feel - b/c it acts as a manual way to boost your mood.

Great post! Here are some of my Life Cheat Codes 😃
I drink a moringa leaf tea (powdered leaves from my tree) mixed with 1/2 banana and some lemon juice every day
I switch off light to sleep at latest 10.15 pm edt. (go to bed around 8.30 pm)
Daily exercise
@amiablePeace77 i'm with you on the exercise; i also make sure all my screens are on the no blue light frequency so that sleep isn't impacted.
@GlenM
Good idea to have screen on blue light in the evening! I switched to dark mode, it also helps with the eyes.
I agree with that daily exercise is a great cheat code.
Another one I do daily is make sure I wake up to a "clean slate" at home....waking up to clutter and a list of left over tasks causes me stress from the get go. I can never have a "clean slate" at work so making sure my personal and home life are straight and organized really helps...While I realize life gets in the way of our plans sometimes and I may have to force myself to get to that point, when I wake up with a "clean slate", I feel so much better....I make sure my household chores for that day are done, and not left to be carried over, no clutter left anywhere in the house, dishes left in the sink, laundry left to be folded, that sort of stuff......and any of lifes little fires that need to be put out from the day, I try to do before I go to bed.....
One of my favorite cheat codes I do weekly.....Since I get up at 3 am for work, I take my coffee on the run 5 days a week....on my days off, I try maintain my regular sleep schedule for at least one of the two days and get up early, sit on the porch, in the dark, and actually enjoy my coffee, listening to the sounds of the early morning while the sun comes up. I've actually sat out there between 2 and 3 hours on some days while the rest of the world is asleep.....its sort of my weekly relax, recover, reset, "me" time.....
My life cheat code is a regular yoga practice :) (I would not be able able to function anywhere near what I typically do without it 🙏)
@serenePineapple7180 ahh. So that's what keeping you serene 😄
@DonaldDraper

Going to plant this one in the ground tomorrow my first homegrown pineapple 😍
I didn't know pineapple roots looked like a glass of water xD
A hike in the woods will always make me feel better.
