Does anyone get obsessive over things like what time in the day to exercise?
Not sure if this is the right board for this... I get nervous that if my feet start to ache at all, I won't be able to go walking the next day. I think, my feet will be too tired/strained/whatever if I do too much walking at night, to walk the next morning? I have lots of obesessive thoughts like this over diet/exercise…

Menopause and metabolism concern question?
Hoping some of you have done more with Hormone Replacement Therapy or other remedies you might recommend.

Prioritiz sleep
I found this little morsel https://liveinthismoment.com/self-care-prioritize-sleep/ when looking up sleep help, and thought maybe someone could find it useful. I do my best not to eat before bedtime, but I did find the bit about clock watching helpful. Set my phone across the room to avoid the quick peeks that last until…

Sleep Tracker Recommendation
Hello, I’ve been doing some research on sleep tracking devices and from what I’m reading, the Oura Ring looks good for specifically tracking sleep.

Back problems
I’m a veteran with a disability and in the past year went to the chiropractor and he told me I have a spine that is curved. Right now I don’t have a job so I need exercise but the top of my back is bad. I was working out with this app but then decided to stop. Probably wasn’t smart of me to continue using my back but now…

Headphones while sleeping
I actually sleep with headphones as a matter of principle. Sometimes with music (whatever), sometimes with "sleeping noises" like rain on a tin roof. Sometimes I just have the headphones on to minimise ambient noise. What experiences have you had with headphones? Which ones do you use? In-ear or over-ear? I had over-ear…

Better sleep
I usually do not sleep much. An average of 6 hours each day that's it. I can count on my fingers how many times I slept in the day times. I wake up to even small breathing hearings by my family members in the next room. Clearly i don't sleep deeply. But I once drank too much milk forced by my father and boom... It worked…

Depression, anxiety and grief.
I have lost two of my near relatives in less than six months. My mental health has never been great and I struggle with basic wellness. The voices in my head can be vile when I'm low (I'm not crazy I just have an inner monologue of hate towards myself) As such I struggle with mindfulness as I can't get them to shut up....…
