I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

If you see a problem you can fix, it’s best to fix it right away because very often it can become way worse if you leave it for later, costing more time, effort, and money to fix than if you just took care of it immediately. Everytime that little voice says “you can fix that later” you tell it to stfu.
Try to eat healthy and perform a minimal workout every day. Eat more fresh fruits or vegetables. It’s quick to make a simple yogurt bowl with fruit and granola, or a salad with lean meat or chick peas. Start with a few push ups, crunches, reverse crunches, and at least a 30 minute walk. Small changes gradually will help you feel better with how you look and feel with a small time investment.
About the shower, I hang my towel just outside of the shower and get it before I step out. I get myself mostly dry before stepping on to the shower mat.
If you use q-tips to clean your ears, first use a wet one, and then a dry one. Did wonders for me.
If you use fresh ginger root, you can use a spoon to scrape of the brown skin. Scrape the edge over the skin and it will just peel off.
I didn’t believe how easy this was when at first I tried this.
Take a few drinks if water first thing when you wake up.
Keep an eye on your own morale. You’d be amazed how much even a strategically placed snack will do for your future.
If you hate everyone, have a snack. If everyone hates you, have a nap.
“Strategically placed snack” is hilarious, lol.
Some of us have a habit of listening to that nasty little voice in our heads that says we’re a failure, that we’re weak, that we have to work harder than anyone else to just be.
Next time you hear it starting to list all the ‘bad/wrong’ stuff you’ve done, tell it to shut up … and keep telling it to shut up every time you realize you’re listening to it. Then think on a good thing you did for a friend or neighbour.
Self-flagellation should never be our bestie.
Take a lunch break, both of those things, lunch and a break. Do anything other than work and sit down to eat something so you can enjoy it. Take a break in the middle of the day, you’re worth it and you deserve it.
Smalltalk starter pack:
- (during the day) “So how’s your day going?”
- (in the evening) “So how was your day?”
- (before the weekend) “what you up to on Saturday?”
- (before the week) “what’s your week looking like?”
Easy small repeatable things that open people up. I use it on everyone, and I make sure that I care about the answer because I’m genuinely curuous
Ha, ha! I already knew this one!!
If you shower at the gym, you don’t need a whole bath towel to dry yourself. A regular hand towel is sufficient, and it takes up way less room in your gym bag.
Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.
There is nuance to nearly everthing that exists. All of life happens with the grey area- perfectly balanced between the black and white boundaries most people refuse to look away from.
Use a whiteboard eraser to clean the dashboard offgas gunk off the inside of your windshield.
I have a wand thing with microfiber pads. Not only does it allow me to reach the the windshield in front of me, I can clean the passenger side as well.
Are you talking about one of the erasers that is like a piece of industrial carpet on the bottom, or the other type that’s foamy rubber (like what the sole of a running shoe is made of)?
Hide an extra roll of toilet paper somewhere in the the bathroom, use for emergencies, tell no one. I smash one flat and put it up behind the false drawer covering the vanity sink.
Ah, the turkish cigarette trick!
We called it that back in the day, because turkish cigarettes were the absolute worst smoke you could have. But in need, a friend indeed…
God I miss smoking. I quit near as not 20 years ago after a parent died of lung cancer, and still every once in a while I could f’kin eat one whole. You can “quit” but the craving never really goes away.
Forgot my vape at home while out in town a few months ago. Stress and shit happened. Bummed a dart off the guy working on my truck. And it was like I never quit. It was so good. Words cant describe. Shit was amazing. But it was just the one. I’ve stayed quit. Only because of my family tho. Not like risk of lung cancer really matters anymore. WWIII, climate collapse, etc. Very few of us are gonna live long enough to die of natural causes.
Do people really consider vaping as not smoking?
As a smoker who quit before ecigs, if you do quit nicotine, it’s hard. But it gets easier every day. Now it’s just a long forgotten memory.
If you are vaping, then did you really quit?
I quit the tar and arsenic and 100 other odd chemicals in american cigs. I didnt quit nicotine.
As someone who mixed his own vape fluids and slowly lowered the nicotine to ~1.8mg/ml and then went cold turkey first on nicotine and then also on vaping. The craving for a cigarette full of tar is still there once in a while when drinking or when completely stressed out.
Most of the time it’s my brain wanting “5 minutes of fresh air” while working on a problem or thinking back about a good time such as a beer, a smoke and good company during a backyard bbq. I can do those things without the nicotine, and I do.
It’s rare now though, especially compared to how it was when I was still vaping nicotine.I was a pack per day for almost 20 years. Switched to vapes 5+ years ago and stepped down the % and then stopped just like you. Haven’t had a smoke/vape in probably 2 years at this point. I still get a craving now and then but it passes, fuck cigarettes and paying lying tobacco companies to kill me.
I’m just replying to this because I wanted to see what color came after purple in Voyager…
Edit: It’s pink!
