What are the best health and lifestyle investments in yourself you've made?

I find I fall asleep much earlier under a weighted blanket, I missed it when I went to a work conference without it last week

My dog definitely 1000%

Best thing/person I've ever got ^^

Weighted blanket. Revolutionised my sleep. Still have a bit of trouble but have gone from waking up 10+ times a night to 1-2.

Therapy, noise-cancelling headphones, and a dog

The therapy is with a neurodivergent therapist so I'm actually making progress at last. The headphones stop me from wanting to shout at people on public transport when I can hear their mouth noises, and the dog gets me outside and moving twice a day (plus he's better company than a lot of humans are).

Ear-defenders and sunglasses because everything is too bright and too loud.
Journalling to keep track of mood regulation.
Using calendars and planners to help with executive dysfunction.
Changing to a plant based diet with focus on fresh ingredients really helped my digestive issues.

My best monitory investment has been my noise cancelling headphones, I thought they would just be another thing that gets put in a draw. I get hours of use from them, they and audiobooks have opened the world of books up to me,  at the same time give me a break from inner thoughts.

The best lifestyle investment I’ve made is in myself, for years I tried to keep all the plates spinning and made no progress. I allow time for me to be just me, not the masked me. That’s done more for me than anything else. I occasionally now wake up in the mornings and don’t mind actually waking up.

Having a school-induced morbid fear of changing rooms - think of footballs being kicked at you with full force from a couple of yards away - anything involving gyms or organised sport is a no go area for me. After coming to the conclusion that running in public is too mortifying for me, I bought a cross-trainer. Now I do 30 minutes, or 3,000 'steps', whichever comes first, first thing in the morning, 6 days a week. I lost a stone in weight, by fasting (I can't diet, but I can not eat for up to 7 days, fairly easily - I don't recommend it, but it works for me) with the 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a day I have kept the weight off without any form of dieting, and it has lowered my blood pressure (which was slightly high).

Effective hydration, pro/prebiotics, fibre, gluten-free.. for sure..

Gym membership one of the best things I’ve ever done.  Feel great after every visit, both physically and mentally.

Gives me routine and something to look forward to every day.
