[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of good things here.

I got an Oura ring to help track my HRV (heart rate variability) and sleeping.  I made some changes from that.

I stopped drinking when I could see what it did to my sleep and HRV.

I use box breathing if I find my self having bouts of anxiety, to help with the distancing aspect and bring my body back to normal.

We eat fish at least once weekly.

I no longer guilt myself for watching shows, it is a distraction.

I set time on the weekends to tidy- I use Alexa to help, I feel better when my visual space is less cluttered.

I limit to one cup of coffee in the morning and have a cup of non-caffeinated tea after lunch.

I try to have some kind of exercise daily.  This has been really hard since it’s been so cold, so I do more housework, cleaning, cooking.  I bought a kick bike that I loved using in the fall, and am excited to get back outside when I feel warm enough.

Definitely vitamin D, and I also have some magnesium with it (natural calm).  I also try to incorporate way more vegetables in our days than I used to, beyond peas and corn.[/quote]

Thanks for sharing.  Do you literally mean that you take vitamin D and magnusium at the same time daily?  I take vitamin d in the morning for energy (and perhaps Covid prevention) and magnesium before bed although I still wake up anxious almost every night.  Is Natural Calm a powder?[/quote]
