Attempt at organizing said drawer of ours

Hahaha my god you should make a collage out of those photos of her, I’d love to see these.

Also, sorry for what you went through. My birth mother is a narcissist, so I can relate. It can be quite liberating to have fun at their expense, though!

1. Meditating (not very good at it, but getting better and it’s seriously helping)
2. Blocking Reddit on my router, blocking political communities in Lemmy
3. A consistent, normal sleeping schedule (a bedtime routine is more important than a morning routine, imo)
4. Yoga every morning to help my body work with me throughout the day
5. Reading more books
6. Getting outside more often
7. Paying closer attention to the thoughts that cross through my mind and stopping them when they’re not helpful - this also helped me realize the underlying anxiety that’s been with me for who knows how many years
8. Drinking more water

Edit: Oh I also:

• Quit drinking alcohol, almost at the 1 year mark
• Quit smoking weed, almost at 2 months fully sober now

I did these things one at a time, not everything at once. Mostly just sharing what I did here, but if you plan to do the same - listen to yourself. Start with #7 imo so you get a better idea of what you’re up against. If it feels like too much, take a step back and slow down. You’re not failing when you do this, you’re helping your future self not fail entirely.

Edit: facepalm I’m just noticing this is a community for the Boost for Lemmy app, not the official site. Please ignore me.

In your account Settings, scroll down to the Languages section and select Undetermined and other languages you’d like to see.

It’s not 100% foolproof, because as others have stated, the language tag isn’t required. But it significantly reduced most of the foreign-language posts I was seeing on the All feed, without impacting the feed in a negative way (AFAIK). For the remainders, you can just block the community if needed.

I blacklisted the site on my router, worked like a charm. Am much happier without it!
