Learning from the ants, that reminds me of a post I wrote last year ( I guess it was April ) when I had just arrived in Portual.

I guess the main thing is to feel good about what you do and how you do things. Living too rigid a life does not make you feel any better/ happier.

Many things you named in your last post, I learned from reading the book Circadian Code. The main thing I did and have been done for the last two and a half / three months, is sticking to an eating routine ( all meals and drinks - except water - in a 10 hour window. Preferably starting around 9am and ending at 7PM plus trying to go to bed around 11. Cutting back on (artificial ) light and screen time, two of my other aims for general wellbeing are still tough for me though.

P.S. Another thing I have been fairly good at ( but have been for quite some time ) is getting enough exercise ( in nature/ outdoor ) and daily meditation ( if possible, just after waking up ).

By the way, I never read Siddhartha.
