Habits that changed your daily life - Yanix - Oct 2, 2025
Sometimes, it’s the small habits that make the biggest difference. Waking up earlier, journaling your thoughts, going for a short walk, or even just drinking more water can completely transform your energy, mood, and focus.
It’s amazing how a few simple routines can turn ordinary days into something more productive and fulfilling.
What are the habits that changed your daily life for the better?

Wow brother, that’s an amazing achievement! Your dedication really paid off. Losing that much weight takes serious discipline and commitment. 😲

20 months, I slipped every once in a while, but it's okay. The real achievement is keeping it off now for over 3 years.

That’s incredible! Consistency over the long term is what really matters. What's motivates you to do this?

My father had health problems: A-Fib, Diabetes, Etc.
He went into anaphylaxis, was on a vent in the ICU. A 50 year old nurse asked how old I was, and was honest if I didn't change something in ten years, I'd be in the bed like my father. My dad also went on a weight loss bet with him. If after 60 days, I beat him. I got $1500.

Oh that's scary! That’s a powerful wake-up call. It’s great that you turned it into motivation and even made a bet out of it. Nice move on taking your health seriously brother.

I feel much better having lost the weight of an entire person off my body.

Waking up early & always making the bed.
Also, worrying about the food you eat. It's crazy how much your food affects your mental health.

Careful with that, you can create awful habits around bad relationships with food.
Anything is healthy if done in moderation, and if not done to excess.

That it's okay to block people/drama from your life. No matter who they are. That really increased my QoL.
Sometimes it's not you. It's not that your mean. They are just unnecessary.

Are you consuming alkaline water or just any ordinary water?

Normal water w/ flavor packets. It costs way too much $$ for the "designer" add-ins, you can do it yourself add a sprinkle of salt into every big water, and take multi-vitamins.
