Hey Pandas, what improved your quality of life so much you wish you did it sooner? Share the habit, purchase, mindset change, or tiny upgrade that made everything better!
#1
Letting go of the thought that ‘what others will think’. This was constantly bogging me down. Also, life got easier when I started reminding myself ‘everything is not my problem’.
#2
Adopting a cat, I didn’t know that a cat can return love like that and be so gentle and attached to a human being.
#3
Moved to live beside the sea. Very peaceful a d love to hear the waves. Lived in cities before thus and can’t believe the difference in lifestyles less than 50 miles
#4
Losing weight and getting into shape. I got depressed and eating was my coping mechanism. I ate my way to obesity with a BMI of 36. I looked terrible and felt terrible. Now I’m 77 pounds lighter, exercise at least 5 days a week, and feel 20 years younger.
#5
Letting go of toxic friendships.
#6
Weed. It’s been legal where I live for years. When I was in the military I had a security clearance and would never do anything to jeopardize it or my career. Now being a civilian and pretty much in pain every day I have some in the evening, only at home while relaxing and not planning on going anywhere. It has greatly improved the quality of my life.
#7
Decluttering my closet so I actually wear what I own.
#8
I know it’s corny, but – meeting my wife. She has made my life for the past 25 years. It’s not been perfect by any means, but my life was going nowhere well into my 30s, and it has been worthwhile ever since. We met when we were 37 – it would have been great to have met 10 years earlier.
#9
Breast reduction surgery.
Having big breasts is a genetic feature for women in my family; they remain voluminous no matter how much weight you lose.
I used to have permanent cervical and back pain, postural issues, and skin allergies during summer. I was unable to move or run properly (as a gym enthusiast, this was a setback).
Finding suitable clothes was a challenge (even though I have normal weight): I usually bought dresses in extra large sizes, then narrowed them in the lower part.
Additionally, I was subject to bullying, catcalling and even sexual harassment for decades (since I was 12).
Before the intervention (which was much easier than I had thought), my doctor told me: “You’ll wish you did it sooner”.
My, was she right.

Drinking more water. It reduced my headaches, improved my sleep, decreased my pain levels.
