Picking up a consistent workout habit like strength training quietly improved almost every part of my life from mood to discipline.

It is crazy how lifting heavy circles makes the rest of your problems feel a lot lighter.

Finally Leaving a toxic 15 year relationship. Took me a couple of years to set myself up with two jobs where I could afford to take care of myself but I did it and I’ve never been happier or more at peace. That was almost six years ago now.

100%. I did the same (mine was shorter duration) and passed this advice on to friends still in toxic relationships and it’s sad to watch them continue to struggle. Feels so good to be free!

Learning to say no to things I didn’t actually want to do. It saved a lot of time, stress, and helped me focus on what actually mattered to me.

The best decision I ever made would have been learning to say "no" without over-explaining it.

I quit a job I hated and took a chance to work as a contractor with another company. I ended up being hired by the company I took the contract with just six months later. I now make three times as much as I was making before with significantly less hassle.

I got more than 1 🙂 Quitting a stressful, underpaying job and upgrading my education. Learning to say no. Leaving relationships that are toxic and draining the life out of me and choosing peace. Downloading a dating app because I was sick and bored at that time, then meeting my partner there. We’ve been together for over a decade now. Lifting weights and yoga has improved my physical and mental wellbeing. 30 minute-1 hour walks almost daily for weight maintenance and decompression from work

The year was 2016, I was living on the other side of the country. From east coast to west coast. (U.S.A). Made the move after a failed suicide attempt. was roommates with 9 other people(including kids) in a 3 bedroom house. Friend says she is in an open relationship with her man. Her man makes advances towards me. I didn’t give in till the day I found out my father died. My friend left me and said nothing after I told her the news of my dad dying. Her man (remember open relationship) saw this and decided to cancel his plans, to take me out that night. We fucked like crazy, she “found out” (didn’t hide it) went crazy. I left to go back home and take care of things. My mind was already dealing with far too much crazy. Then I met my husband. We hit it off, but he let me know that he would be leaving the U.S.A after his schooling was done. So I said let’s get married. I just wanted some stability in my life and he provided it. It’s been 11 years and we have a beautiful child together. He’s has been a great source of support through every disaster in our lives. Including some of his family deaths as well.(all this in 6 months)

That’s so awesome I’m so happy it all worked out! Also quick sidenote 16+10 is 26 so it’s only been 10 years not 11 lol

Quitting my toxic job and leaving a career path I’d been working on for 10 years (academic research track- undergrad, PhD, post doc). Felt like failing at the time but now I couldn’t be happier

Learning to say 'No' without giving an excuse. I used to manufacture elaborate lies to get out of plans I didn't want to attend. Now I just say, 'I’m not up for it, but thanks for the invite.'

Quitting a job I was good at but hated. Everyone told me I was crazy — good salary, stable company, great benefits. But I was miserable every single morning. Took a pay cut to switch fields and the first year was rough financially. Three years later I make more than I did before and actually look forward to Mondays. The scary part was not the money, it was admitting to myself that "comfortable" and "happy" are not the same thing.

Being curious about a girl that was hired at my mom’s work I guess in a way. My curiosity lead to seeing her in person which in turn was the push my body and soul needed to finally be interested in dating which means instead of blah all the time I actually have something optimistic to think of every day! Now to be fair that girl is no longer an option for several reasons but the girl I’m not in love with means I think about her all the time whereas before I thought about nobody and it was kind of depressing in hindsight thinking about my original plan to live alone someday with a bunch of dogs and cats just babysitting my nieces and nephews with nothing else but now the future is so bright because now I actually want a wife and kids plus I know what my major is finally and I’m even thinking financially for the future by opening up a high interest account so now I’m not going to be some weird lonely weirdo surrounded by animals now I’ll have a nice life someday when I finally get the courage to ask her out lol

Trusting myself instead of others’ opinions and stepping out of my comfort zone.

Took a huge shot in the dark and said "I love you" best decision I ever made.

I could never get myself to use dental floss regularly, but once I switched to dental picks, I’ve used them every evening for several years now… and semi-annual cleanings go much faster.

I love everyone’s answers! I too have extremely positive outcomes after daring to divorce a cruel partner, leave a bad job, avoid toxic people, say no to things I don’t want to do. It seems so simple and obvious now, but when we are first confronting these decisions they loom as almost insurmountable. I speak nowadays with a friend who is in a terrible marriage and it’s hard for me to remember why she stays in such a bad situation, but then I recall that when I was young it seemed earth shattering to exit the security of the familiar.
