* Eat well. Make sure you're getting enough calories, good fats, protein, iron, B vitamins, vitamin C, etc

* Sleep well. Different people need different amounts. Mine is 7 hours.

* Exercise daily. Even if walking for 10 minutes.

* Take good care of your teeth and floss daily. For whatever reason, this seems to be a pivot thing for me. If I'm taking care of my teeth everything falls into place, kind of like the famous Adm. McRaven speech on making your bed every morning.

Most importantly:

* Reduce your sensory inputs to increase your mindfulness. Stop checking the web every 20 minutes. Stop checking your phone every 10 minutes. Stop listening to podcasts on your commute. Let your mind sit and calm itself. If you're like most of the HN demographic, you're probably trying to fill it with information constantly. Stop that. Learn to say "no" to the needless.
