Wellness Wednesday for November 16, 2022

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Every morning after my workout I make a Moka pot of cafe Bustelo on the stove. I use a breville milk frother to heat and froth two cups of milk, normally with some kind of sorority girl flavoring mixed directly into the milk like a brown sugar maple or a toffee nut, I love a good bitch coffee. That's my morning ritual time to relax and decompress, then I put it all together and wake up my wife for morning coffee.

Whiskey I drink single malt on the rocks, normally with a good book, Plutarch's Lives these days. For a long time I was a bourbon drinker, from starting drinking to a year or so back. I feel like bourbon is easier drinking for beginners, and you can get drinkable bottles at college student prices. While bourbon prices have skyrocketed in recent years especially for higher end bottles, cheap bourbon is the best deal out there because the strict regulations on labeling bourbon makes even a lower end product consistent.

Awesome! I only use mine when I want to take the time to whisk up some Cuban coffee.
