What's something you stopped doing that made life simpler
Not something dramatic—just a small thing you stopped doing that reduced stress or noise. I think a lot of us spend so much time doing things out of habit or obligation without even thinking about whether they actually add value to our lives. For me, I stopped checking my email first thing in the morning and it honestly made such a difference. I used to wake up and immediately jump into work mode, getting stressed about things that could have waited until later. By shifting that routine and giving myself time to have a cup of coffee and read something for pleasure before diving into emails, I've noticed my overall anxiety levels are lower and I start my day much more intentionally. What's something you stopped doing that made life simpler for you? Was it something work-related, a digital habit, a social obligation, or something else? Did you find that stopping one thing created space for other positive changes in your life?

Anyone else trying to be more present lately?
I’ve been realizing how easy it is to stay mentally “on” all the time.
Trying to slow down a bit and actually enjoy quiet moments again.
Curious if anyone else is working on this too.
What can I do to keep myself entertained while on sick leave?
I've been off sick from work since the end of October. I don't know when I'm going to be back. I am a person who is usually very busy - I have a varied mid-level job, I'm studying part-time, and I have several hobbies and commitments outside of work.
It's getting to the point now where I am starting to go a litte stir crazy. I'm spending most of my time in bed but I have a very busy brain. Usually, when I'm well, I do several things at once, e.g. read while watching a film.
Things I cannot do:
* Watch TV/DVDs etc
* Drive anywhere (I can't really get out and about, no public transport where I live)
* Read prose e.g. novels or magazines
* Anything physically demanding
* Use my laptop for longer than about 45 mins
Things I can do:
* Listen to podcasts/audiobooks
* Walk a short distance (0.4 miles so far)
* Knit
* Write
* Read poetry
* Use my phone (e.g. ordering pointless crap online)
Does anyone have any inspired ideas for how to keep myself occupied while I'm not feeling well?
