Ideal day from beginning to end

An ideal day from beginning to end sounds like a dream but I guess, it would run along these lines. The alarm does not work. I get to sleep a little longer. I get up refreshed. Check myself in the mirror and see a slim and trim version of myself looking back. “I do not need to exercise today,” my mind says. I agree. I realize it is a holiday, so no need to switch on the laptop and check or respond to office emails. All the same, I switch on the laptop, just to browse social media apps. Posts where my friends are depressed and complaining are all over. I am glad, my life is better than theirs. Later, as I walk into the dining room, I find both my wife and son agreeing to every word I say. The phone rings, and it is the bank informing me that… Ideal day from beginning to end

An ideal week for me

An ideal week for me would be a blissful parade of pure, unadulterated relaxationa full-on, all-you-can-eat buffet of laziness where work doesn’t even have a reservation. Just me, my couch, and the remote control, with no one around to say, “Shouldn’t you be doing something productive?” But here’s the problemI’m not built for that. Nope. My brain doesn’t come with an off switch. Even in my dream vacation, I’d still be up at 3:30 AM. Springing out of bed like I’m late for a marathon I didn’t sign up for. Or lying there like a burrito, tossing, turning, and holding an Olympic event called “Competitive Insomnia.” Relaxation? Hmm maybe it is not for me 😥

5 daily habits to improve quality of life

The 5 daily habits that keep me from spiraling into chaos are part of a routine. Yes, I’ve mentioned this before, but hey, if routines work for toddlers, they can work for us too. And sure, you can have a cheat day now and then, but just remember: your future self might give you the side-eye for that indulgence. So, even when you cheat, try not to go full rebel mode.
