Including the positive impact after removing unwanted habits or hobbies too
As other people said, walks are great. Good way to decompress after work.
I also do yoga twice a week. Helped a lot with my back, and keeps my flexibility at a reasonable level.
Leisure walk every day. 30 minutes is enough.
Don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol.
Drink a lot of water.
Regular sleep schedule. Sleep hygiene.
Eat healthy.
Appreciative social contacts.
Step outside of your routine. Drive 20 minutes down the road on a whim and go to the park. Go for a walk. Break the monotony of life in small ways all throughout the day/week. Less screen time too.
Is this the “touching grass” activity they spoke of? Seems scary.
Well kind of. But it’s more like touch DIFFERENT grass. Like whereever you live I bet there’s a river or creak or lake or whatever within a 30 minute drive. Go there. Check it out. Sit next to it for a minute. Let yourself be an ape for a minute. It’s what we are. Just follow your whims. See a cool rock? Go check that shit out.
No matter how much your brain tells you that it’s go time… You need to take 10 minutes a day to stare at the ceiling, have a bath, or do nothing and turn that fucker off.
E: I know my own brain, it will not stop. So I literally have a repeat task in my calendar and my do not disturb set to go on for that 10 minutes automatically!
Going for a walk is generally a good thing.

Team Sports are pretty good for a social life. As in casual leagues. Just daydrinking with extra steps.
Hobby: Doing mobility 10-15 min a day.
Habit: Taking fiber supplements before every meal.
Cutting off stressful, negative, or hateful friends and family members has had a hugely positive effect in overall life quality and wallet.
Wash my hands the second I get home.
Semi-regularly wash the touch surfaces in my home including door knobs and light switches.
I don’t get sick like I used to.
Knitting, reading, gardening, at least one walk every day.
I take the stairs, when i’m sad, frustrated or upset i do pushups
Whenever I have small interesting little pieces of trash (like a toothpaste cap, the spring from a dried out pen, handle from an old razor etc) I now have dedicated craft drawers to keep those knick knacks in
Now whenever I want to make cool little sculptures or crafts, I have a generous collection of various shapes and materials that I can make them out of
Also helps save on whatever extra apoxie sculpt I would have needed
