Try not eating too much before bed, but still go to sleep with a full stomach. In just a week, you’ll notice how much easier it is to wake up in a good mood — without that urge to hit snooze ten more times.
Try taking salt and pepper off the table. You’ll realize your portions aren’t that small after all, and satisfying your hunger gets a lot easier. Bonus: after a couple of weeks, you might drop a few pounds without even trying.
Try only taking phone calls that matter for one day. Time will seem to slow down, and that usual mental fatigue? Gone. Bonus: that nagging headache you’ve been ignoring may just disappear too.
Try cutting back on coffee or tea to just one cup a day. You might be surprised at how easily you fall asleep at night — and during the day, that anxious edge and negativity just fades away.
Try reading a book before bed instead of scrolling on your phone or watching TV. You’ll fall into those vivid, colorful dreams from childhood again. And when you wake up, you’ll feel inspired and ready to take on the day.

Try switching to naturally filtered water. You may discover that reducing puffiness, smoothing out fine lines, and fixing certain health issues doesn’t require expensive products or prescriptions.
Try paying attention to your posture. You might find your memory gets sharper, and your thinking becomes quicker. Plus, people may start smiling at you more — and even tossing a few compliments your way.
Try taking a break from the news and media. It’ll feel like breaking out of a mental cage. The world around you becomes clearer. Bonus: the little things that used to stress you out won’t bother you nearly as much.
Try doing something important without overthinking it. You’ll be amazed at how much less time, energy, and stress it takes. And even if it doesn’t go perfectly, that usual self-blame won’t come creeping in.
Try replacing any bad habit with a smile — given to someone else. You’ll see that managing stress can be done in much more pleasant ways than nervously chewing gum, lighting a cigarette, or doomscrolling on your phone.
