30 Small Habits That Have A Significant Impact On Daily Life, According To Folks In This Online Group

Thanks for the give on coffee. I'm a monster without it!

I limit myself to one cup of coffee a day.... coffe-larg...fabaa0.jpg

This is optimal, but for other people who have an aversion to water, for whatever reason: just stay hydrated. Whatever it is you will drink, drink plenty of it. Eat foods with high water contents. Keep an eye on what you're drinking, and the possible effects, but your body will function marginally better on six sodas and three cups of coffee than it does on a begrudgingly choked down bottle of water.

I have a hard time drinking enough water for sensory reasons but replacing it with homemade, unsweetened, decaf iced tea is flavorful enough and doesn't have the usual issues.

I know I'm weird, but I absolutely can't drink water while eating. I do drink plenty of water, whenever I'm just thirsty, if I wake up at night etc, but during meals I can't. I find it horrible with food, when I'm eating I need either cocacola, iced tea or fruit juice

This needs to be #1. I've worked retail and food service off-and-on for many years and I got all kinds of people. I will always be grateful to the customers that showed patience and kindness towards me. I do what I can to pay that forward because, unfortunately, these employees are still getting the short end of the stick because certain customers feel its okay to take their negative emotions out on minimum wage workers.

I teach my 3 children to have proper manners. As an example, I WILL call for a manager to let them know when an employee is doing a good job!

Good manners might not make the world but they will help keep from breaking the world.

I say please and thank you so automatically I say it to my cat.

Based from experience and in my workplace, if you are rude we give you what you want and that’s it. But if you are polite and nice we will go above and beyond and give beneficial insider advice. Word also spread and we let co- workers know who they be wary of.

I don't like cleaning up after everyone else in the family, but it doesn't seem to bother them as much as me.

I've been trying this for years but can't keep the cat out of the bathroom.

I'll have to try this.

I tried this, but they decided to press charges.

I have a problem of taking multiple things, multiple trips out of a room if I do this. Then I get frustrated because I spent too much time doing it.

Yes. Yes. and Yes. 4) Choose your battles and, if necessary, concede defeat even if you're right. It's pointless to continue arguing.

Bull poo poo it costs NOTHING to be kind. A lot of times it costs me my ego. But. I've learned its better to teach others to be nice rather than angry. Eventually they'll do the same even if they're normally a very angry person.

Good advice...you can't argue with a brick wall .

Learning to be silent is so important!

I really need to keep this consistent. The worst thing that has happened to me was a desk job. You're so burnt at the end of the day and you haven't even been active. It's insane.

Can confirm. I bought a mini cycle to use in the evenings when I'm watching TV. Started off doing about 45 minutes a night, 6 days a week, now I'm up to about 1 to 1 1/2 hours a night, plus I started roller skating for about an hour and a half to two hours once a week and it has definitely helped me lose weight. I lost about 30 pounds since last summer and am about 15 or so pounds from my goal. It's a very steady pace and I am very happy with my results.

Yeah, after 9 hours in the kitchen jogging and push ups what I miss the most.

I trick myself by not exercising, but instead taking a soothing walk when i come home, taking a yoga class as self care, and doing weights because the instructor is really hot and kind to us all. But i never, ever exercise.

Why are most of these posts just common sense being pawned off as amazing revelations?

LOL Once I get going I don't stop. Washing dishes leads to cleaning my whole kitchen.

Everytime I microwave something, I use that time to tidy the kitchen, even if it's just a minute, it makes a difference

You could shorten this to a 15-second rule and still get a lot of stuff accomplished. I once timed my daughter putting away her toys after she complained and complained, and it took her 15 seconds. She wasted more time complaining than she ever would have by just doing the chore.

I like the idea about the litter box. There may not be something to clean everytime you check. But we flush the toilet after we go. It's doing the same thing for your cat.

My only issue with this is I don't just complete a single task, I'll clean everything...

Can I just have one bad thing? Just one? Just let me have my diet coke in peace.
