Wellness

i did sooo much i can't pinpoint anything specific but it was a combo of:

> removing caffeine for the first 2 weeks
> eating at least 2,000 calories a day
> daily walks outside
> strength training
> keeping my phone in another room while i sleep
> completely revamping my morning routine (no phone for first hour, big glass of water + lemon juice + salt, go for a walk, breakfast before coffee)
> being easy on myself/not guilting myself for needing to relax

this is a great list of things that can help with anxiety

eating more and avoiding gaps without any physical fuel is a particularly underrated one. any kind of fasting or cutting creates stress hormones that feel like energy but are not good for you over time (like the “energy” you get from caffeine)

i started counting calories this year and discovered i was very low, increased my daily intake by a lot, have been feeling much better, and have not gained any weight despite minimal exercise. i do eat very clean as well, but high carb (lots of fruit and potatoes)

yeah, i have a really hard time with this!! never occurred to me to count calories since i wasn’t trying to lose weight, but glad i got curious about it eventually

are we the same?? lol i thought i was eating enough daily and i was barely hitting 1200 kcal 🥲
