A summary of the 10 essential principles for aging well covered in "Brain Rules for Aging Well" by John Medina:

Exercise - Regular physical activity is crucial for maintaining cognitive function, mood, and physical health as we age.

Sleep - Getting quality sleep is vital, as poor sleep is linked to accelerated cognitive decline and increased risk of dementia.

Stress - Learning to effectively manage stress through relaxation techniques, social connection, and cognitive strategies can slow age-related mental deterioration.

Nutrition - Eating a nutrient-dense diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats nourishes the brain and body.

Learning - Continuously challenging the brain with new skills and information helps maintain mental sharpness.

Purpose - Maintaining a sense of purpose and meaning in life is associated with better cognitive and emotional wellbeing.

Social Connection - Staying socially engaged and nurturing relationships are protective against cognitive decline.

Music - Actively engaging with music, whether playing an instrument or simply listening, boosts brain health.

Relaxation - Taking time to unwind and restore through practices like meditation helps counteract the damaging effects of stress.

Optimism - Cultivating a positive, hopeful mindset can enhance physical and mental resilience as we age.

Following these 10 principles can help you stay vital, happy, and sharp for years to come, according to brain expert John Medina.

Feel free to respond tomorrow, I just don't wanna forget so I'm sending now!

I've tried products like that before but I'm not sure they work for me personally. To give a little insight into my particular flavor of ocd, I tier things into different categories of "dirty" and I cannot cross contaminate something cleaner with something dirtier, and it's hard for me to keep something like that in the clean category. I'm not sure why, maybe texture? My regular lotion is also hard and I have special protocols for it.

Tbh these loops come and go and I've never been sure how to break them. This one was triggered but they usually kinda just happen randomly

ough. well, again, perhaps this advice isn't as good as it could be, but after brainstorming I can think of a few ideas.

first, dr. bronners. i know, again, a product. and a soap at that! but here's what I Know: the secrets of life and love CAN be found on that label manifesto and if there was such a thing as a magic elixir it's bronners soap. every time I've had a skin irritation or anything, it really feels like bronners helps. put like a tablespoon of bronners into a squirtbottle and fill the rest with water and you'll have a perfect all purpose cleaner that you can smell. it certainly makes ME feel like things are just generally cleaner. again, this one may actually be bad advice for you, but I'm just throwing things at the wall and hoping they stick - and if they don't stick to the wall, at least, i got a reccomendation on what to use to clean that wall...

secondly, fight your impulses and brainrules with other impulses or brainrules. like that one post says, sometimes you gotta get a little ill to get well. make new rules! like "gross things cannot contaminate me without direct prolonged contact if I'm listening to the crisp clean sounds of Casiopea" - sure, it sounds stupid, but it may just work. and having to listen to Mint Jams when you wash your hands may sound annoying, but I'm assuming it's probably at worst an even trade-off for how annoying your brain is right now. and brains just fucking LOVE patterns like that. just keep telling it the smooth and crisp fusion vibes are part of cleanliness and they enhance the experience and fuckin... it might just eat it up!

third, a cleansing spell. mostly for the same reason as above. tell your brain you've not only physically cleaned the area but by lighting a few vibes candles and a temple incense you've also spiritually purified the area. help it feel like you're going above and beyond cleaning to scratch the itch(?).

equally, you could always purposefully go out of your way to make the area dirty, then clean it, to satisfy the need for cleanliness. again, scratching the itch. brain says that place is dirty even though logically it isn't? and cleaning a clean thing does fuck all. so maybe it's time to say, accidentally spill a can of tomato sauce or something and clean it up, showing brain that yeah dude the place IS clean

final idea, and perhaps the most hail mary remedial idea i can think of, is the Fast Tigers thing. squat/lay down (I'm assuming squatting is probably better in this situation) and tighten all of your muscles all over your body and hold for 5-10 seconds then release the tension. chemically tells your brain to chill.

again, idk how many of these will do you good, if any... i mean, I hope so! I hope something helps. I'll keep thinking, see if i can come up with anything. i haven't gotten stoned yet today so maybe something will come to me once I'm baked

A MUST read! This book will change your life. You will start to think more critically and deeply and begin to understand that not only is it about surviving life but also about thriving in it. 

Short excerpt: Brain rule #3 - Sleep

The brain does not appear to be asleep at all. Rather, it is almost unbelievably active during “rest”. Sleep is powerfully restorative. Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.

So this is definitely going to get thumbnailed down to make the pupperino and her Elf the focus, but while workshopping, I got distracted by this antlered bastard.
