How are you taking care of yourself today?

The Indie Hacking lifestyle has plenty of ups and downs. I think being successful requires knowing how to take care of yourself. How are you taking care of yourself today?

    I limit my portions when I eat so I maintain a healthy body weight.

    I squeeze in physical activity whenever I can (walking instead of driving, hour-long gymnastics sessions, etc.).

    I always take a full-day off/week no matter what.

    I stay in touch with my social circle. Support networks are so underrated.

    Most importantly, I promised myself never to quit. I've learned to rest instead, and then give it yet another go.

      Love it! These are all great. Kudos to you for always taking a full day off. This is something I want to try. The flipside of "being your own boss" is that there are no external boundaries you can rely on to feel OK taking a break. Thanks for sharing!

    Try to get a workout in at least 3 times a week, usually either really early in the morning or around 20:30.

    I've been doing crossfit for about a year now.

      Wonderful! Exercise is absolutely fundamental to overall health, and it's so easy to lose sight of that when your work is centered around a computer.
