23 More Healthy Hacks

Continuing in my Healthy Hacks series started yesterday, where there were 22 exercise and movement hacks and 22 food, diet and psychology tacks

1. Mindful or conscious eating
2. Exercising for mood, including warrior/martial arts for anger (about rus's war on Ukraine)
3. Visualization for longer-term future
4. Alarms for movement breaks*, like the pomodoro technique
5. Standing* more while coding, and doing other things, like dishes
6. Lunch breaks: go* out or outside
7. Stretches during breaks*
8. Commute substitute* as delimiter for work day
9. Outdoor walking meetings*...*this link
10. 80/20 as success, not 100% perfection...PROGRESS (& consistency) not perfection
11. Getting dressed...simple enough, but these covid-ious winter daze, not so much
12. Meditation, journaling, living a purpose...more here
13. Examining my own reasons for not working out or getting stuff done, in addition to some common excuses
14. Fun (rewards) "girls night out" ideas
15. Motivational quotes and/ daily (or not) affirmations
16. Habit "stacking"
17. Realization: past successful low calorie healthy days; no past FOMO now
18. Another realization: FOMO...at some point I've had everything short term, except the particular short term successes that leads to mid and long term succsesses
19. Try some lower cal  broccoli cheddar soups...sparkrecipes' and healthy via google
20. Another realization: Steady but slow losing...hard to stay motivated by small losses, so must maintain motivation
21. Fitness dreams, goals, and challenges, other than weight loss
22. Systems of habits and routines vs. spontaneity (but not slacking)
23. Cycles of the stars affect 'thars' (h/t to Dr. Seuss)

So those 23 ideas: that's day 2 of the Healthy Hacks series; another 33 tomorrow, for  a total of100 Healthy Hacks
