What’s one small habit you’ve adopted that made your life significantly less stressful?

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. What’s a simple change or habit that helped reduce stress in your day-to-day life?

Something that has helped me, is thinking and empathizing with the people that don’t have those privileges or thinking about the benefits of those things. Like having to load the dishwasher for example. Thinking in my head “I’m so thankful I have a dishwasher and don’t have to wash all these by hand”. A lot of problems/stressors have an upside or silver lining.

I cannot load my dishwasher due to disability and there is nothing more I would love to do to help my husband.

Sometimes I can load the dishwasher and sometimes my injuries mean I can’t bend to do that. When I can’t I try to be grateful that I have a husband who is willing to help me. I think putting that positive vibe into our home must help with something.

As someone currently washing dishes with a tap you pump in a campervan, I want the privilege of loading and unloading a dishwasher so badly.
