What do you wish you learned about maintaining/building relationships? What self-care routines do you wish you started earlier?
When you're younger you are usually raised in a leveled community of people trying to learn these things. Eventually you can age out of a like-struggling population. Learning requires experimentation in any discipline. Having a cohort allows for leniency.

Things like prioritizing physical health activities. Things like establishing work-life balance that includes hobbies, personal, and group activities. Things like starting friendships without a social broker (like work or other friends).

    - Learning how to learn (Barbara Oakley).
    - Keeping track of my reading
    - Journaling
    - Jim Rohn's philosophy (any book, or 7 Strategies For Wealth)
    - Osho's philosophy (any book)
What does keeping track of reading mean? Like note taking for novels, non-fiction books, etc?
Nutrition and fitness (actually biology and physiology). Especially keto/carnivore WOE and intermittent fasting. Tens of problems I thought it was me were just the poorly way I've been eating all my life.
What kind of problems did you have that weren’t obviously nutrition/health related? Curious what your diet is and what we’re the benefits that you saw.
The most intriguing one I'd say is baldness. My hair stop falling and is actually regrowing in most parts of my head. I changed my diet to keto and then carnivore, also stopped eating 4, 5 times a day and try to do OMAD (one meal a day).
