The Most Underrated Habits for a Better Life

I just heard about the “bed rotting” trend on social media and I think I need a minute.

Because if the kids think staying in bed all day eating pizza and doom scrolling is a form of rejuvenation then I’m calling bullshit on self-care.

This week's episode is a fun one. Drew and I have a long list of common self-improvement practices and I’m scoring them as overrated or underrated or, “it depends.”

Join in on the fun! 👉 Head to my main channel.

All of my worst decisions came from alcohol, but romance is a close second.

What passes for self
care is usually self indulgence

[LaylaDSmith]

Self care is Maslovs heirachy of needs. Nutritious food, healthy sleep, exercise, socialization, NOT shopping, not commercial $$ things, particularly if you don't eat nutritiously, and you aren't caring for your body by exercising it and getting good sleep.

The romance perspective is subjective. I personally love it and highly value it, and don't mind sacrificing to create and cherish those moments. But to others, they might regret it.

It's more so just putting in the effort to discover your own values and having the courage to sacrifice for them in whatever priority you seem best for you.

You don't have to apologize for stating the truth

Romantic love is the most short-lived and conditional form of human love, which is why the ancient Greeks considered it a distraction at best.

As so often in life - it all depends. My marriage helped me to leave old, unhealthy patterns behind and strive to grow. We support and motivate each other and are best friends (judge that if it makes you feel good about yourself). At the same time, we give the other person space for personal interests/hobbies. It's all about a healthy balance.

For me, there's an important distinction to be made here between self-care & coping mechanisms. From my perspective, coping mechanisms are more about survival in the present, whereas self-care is more focused on improving yourself as you move into your future.
It helps me to remember that both are valid under certain subjective circumstances, however focus on self-care in this regard simply feels more productive than continuing to find comfort in a known coping mechanism.
But what do I know, lol! 😂😘
Either way, good luck out there, friends! ✌💛

Completely agree with friendships being more valuable than romance!

[DaRealFantomas]

Hold on, it seems they are cooking something good there. Although I want to add I got a friend who is willing to give up EVERYTHING for friendships and it bugs me a lot.

Anyone can give any advice for maintaining friendships here
