Let’s inspire each other: what’s something you’ve done lately that your future self will thank you for?

Question

As for me... I've been practicing yoga, meditation, cardio, healthier foods...

I've also made it a point to stop putting others before myself. You can't help others until you've taken care of yourself first.

What have you been doing or... what will you do to better take care of yourself?

Continuing to work out to regain my health back. Part of that is eating more but I began putting on more weight than I am comfortable with. I was always skinny, now i'm becoming more average. Average is fine, I still have a good weight but if I don't course correct now it will turn into a problem because I don't want to gain more permanent fat cells that are impossible to loose. So i'm sure that when I stay not fat my future self will appreciate that big time over me not caring and becoming actually fat. Even if slight weight loss fails I want to stop gaining now my weight is still decent.

I have taken to use mindfulness as a goal for myself to form a habit of. More tangibly though I have quit a job and country I am living in to move to another where I will restart with a clean slate and new structure around me where I can sort my shit out, I hope.

Going to therapy. It has helped me in ways that I didn't think it would. It helped me identify my issues with myself and tackle them head on. I didn't realize how much of an anxious attachment style I had until therapy. I also carry avoidant tendencies when I'm not used to being loved heavily by someone. Now I can honestly say I'm more secure. So, I think my future self will definitely thank me for getting my mental health together.

Watching to a lot of motivational videos and gaining a different perspective on different subjects.
Even at my age I still have the need to want to learn as much as I can about a variety of subjects.
Isn't it said that a brain is a terrible thing to waste?

I started drinking more. I cut back a little bit but realized I'm a pretty intense person and I'm probably doing my nerves and heart a favor by being somewhat intoxicated a few hours every night.

I walk every other day, it’s both for the sake of my physical health and mental health. Getting out and seeing nature can be a wonderful experience and the movement helps my heart work a little better than it would have if I didn’t.
