I'd add one more to make this the perfect list: separate volunteering from one to evolve your mindset.
One to Give Back:
Finding a cause or local group in your area (not online) refuels your larger activism, offers networking opportunities with like-minded and morally aligned individuals, and fosters community engagement and your emotional investment in your community.
Examples: your local women's shelter, student government, your local animal shelter or rescue, soup kitchens, your local YWCA, your local Junior League, volunteering at the old folks home, joining the breakfast/meal team at your religious institution, getting involved with a community garden, or park cleanups.

Sans Forgetica has been debunked in atleast 2 studies for Memory and another study in the Journal of Applied Research In Memory and Cognition showed that Sans Forgetica impaired proof reading ability. I hate to bust the bubble... but this is a placebo if anything
I don’t usually share a whole lot but THIS IS INCREDIBLE

you can't just switch off years of unhealthy behaviors, negative thought patterns, and counterproductive emotions. but u can recognize them and be like 'i'm not engaging. this isn't the end of the world. i'm box breathing. i'm not giving those thoughts attention; i'm acknowledging them and letting them go. i'm going to take a break when i can.' don't be hard on yourself if it doesn't work or you do something that feels like you've set yourself back. that doesn't help, either, lol
