Stop watching the news. If you HAVE to watch the news, don't watch it. Go to some decent news website, scroll the front page once (up --> down) for 30 seconds, click at nothing, close that tab. Do that not more than once per day.

Stop using social media :)

Listen to classical music.

Eat well. Perhaps fast (if health allows) 1-2 days per week (i.e. every Tue and Thu).

If you don't work out (at all) start doing 5 push-ups every 6h. Every week add 1 push-up (every 6h). If you don't work out (at all) start doing 5 squats every 6h. Every week add 1 squats (every 6h). (enter exercise.. do 5 and add 1 every week)

If you don't already, start an excel file and every 1st of the month, write down your net worth. Columns: Accounts, 2024-04-01, 2024-05-01, 2024-06-01 Rows: Current account, Saving Account1, Saving Account2, Investments1, Investments2, 401k, etc. In the bottom do a summary, and also add a graph so you can see a line.
