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.

For the love of God. Get enough sleep. That shit will catch up to you when you’re older.
Sleep debt is real and the interest rate is very high.
After dealing with babies who didn’t want to sleep or sleep for long for a few years, I found nothing that can reverse or help with the effects. Fuuuuuuuck. Get it where you can.

Especially as one of the risk factors for dementia is sleep deprivation
This would be concerning to me but I’ll forget it in 15 mins.
I’ll compound this with also learning what sleep schedule works best for you. Some people require 10 hours, others 6. Some people do very well with polyphasic sleep, others just need one uninterrupted bout at night.
I usually sleep about 5.5 hours at night and I take a midday 20 minute nap, and I always feel very strong, energetic, lively. If I sleep 7+ hours at night I’m super groggy and have inflammation the next day.
I’m a runner and I can definitely tell that the largest determining factor for my physical performance isn’t diet, days off, etc; it’s sleep. Sleep is SO important.
Edit: The others are still very important, but sleep is paramount.
I used to not get enough sleep. Now I drive every day. Huge incentive to sleep 8 hours a night.
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.
Do super soft yoga in the morning.
When i tell people i do yoga every day before work, they think its MUCH HARDER than it is. I get up, drink a whole glass of water, and sit on my mat. If its cold, i use a space heater. I put on an easy yoga video on YouTube (i love Yoga with Adrienne) and i only do the floor parts lol.
I am in such better shape, i have more energy, I’ve lost weight, my posture & balance are better, and i can self-regulate my emotions a thousand times easier. I am so, so much happier with this simple lil 20mins starting my day.
Sounds really good, will have to give this a try
Nice, mine a little different.
I brush then meditate with water bottle then fresh up. Then I either hit track or open gym after proper warmups.
Interesting. Well I’ve got the water part down at least
I sometimes sit on the floor.
My buddy got rid of his couch in favour of floor. He doesn’t like it and neither do guests, but it’s a thing
It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.

Yeah but where can anyone make you go that you don’t have a floor?
I guess you could be tortured and held up in stress positions.
I fell down the last three steps of my stairs today
Happens to the best of us. It will feel just like you had a strenuous workout at the gym for the next 4 or 5 days though (all about framing)
Get schwifty.
If you use q-tips to clean your ears, first use a wet one, and then a dry one. Did wonders for me.
Oh my goodness I just tried this. Thank you so much, stranger.

Are there people that don’t do this? Wouldn’t they absolutely soak their bathroom floor?
Heck, I do this and then use a small towel to get the rest of the initial water off while I’m stood in the shower, that way when I step out I’m no longer dripping wet, and my big main towel can do the rest of the work without needing to get soaked itself.
It can just be thrown on the bed to dry, no need to unfold it, and the smaller very wet towel is easier to find somewhere to hang up.
Anyway that’s my system, a little addition to your tip :-)
My roommate doesn’t do this and the floor and bathmats are always SOAKED when he’s done.
My question is, “do people not dry off in the shower before getting out?”
I’m so glad you said this; my roommate didn’t do this. The (single) bathroom mat would be absolutely soaked when he’d get out of the shower, and would remain that way for hours after. Everytime I mentioned it he’d say “that’s what a bathmat is for” and I eventually had someone else mention how they had their socks soaked before I finally got him to start drying himself off first
I think body hair holds onto a considerable amount of water, so people without much body hair don’t carry as much water with them when they step out.
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.
Preach. Get a food scale!
I counted calories for a bit to eat healthier and balance my nutrition.
I stopped after 3 months but I quickly realized that serving sizes ae WAY smaller than you’d think.
A bowl of cereal or chips could be 2 or 3 servings. Donuts and muffins are garbage. Ham and cheese? Triple the ham and cut the cheese in half. Mayo is horrible but plain mustard is 0 cal.
I didn’t eat any less but I made my meals healthier and lost weight without changing my workout.
I also ate bad stuff without cheating. Chicken salad for dinner and a scoop of ice cream for a late night snack under budget.
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.
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.
Ha, ha! I already knew this one!!
Life is too short to please everyone.
And certainly do not feel bad saying no to a salesperson. Don’t even feel bad completely ignoring one who approaches you unsolicited.
Take a few drinks if water first thing when you wake up.
I take a mug of electrolytes instead. It does wonders for my morning energy levels
Keep an eye on your own morale. You’d be amazed how much even a strategically placed snack will do for your future.
“Strategically placed snack” is hilarious, lol.
Snacks can be extremely fateful. You could argue a sandwich played a very important role in starting World War 1. Imagine all of the unsung snacks that put some world leader in a slightly better mood and omnicide was averted.
Uhh… on second thought I won’t be leaving precarious war-mongering snacks like that around my house
If you hate everyone, have a snack. If everyone hates you, have a nap.
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
Following up on your tip - towel dry in your bathtub or shower to prevent your floors or bath mat from getting wet. Helps prevent mold as well!
