Or tattoo.

"When are you getting a tattoo? Everyone has tattoos. And it's not too late, you can still get one. And you'll never regret having tattoos. And it really isn't as painful as you think. I know so many people with tattoos and they're so happy."

Reply to comment by Preposterous_punk in LPT: When someone is mean to you, it’s 100% about them and their ego, and 0% about you. They are just miserable with their own life and want you to feel bad about yourself as well. Just kill them with kindness and remember that you are better off and not a miserable person like them. by Waiting-For-October

That isn’t what I meant though. Those examples aren’t mean though. I mean like back handed compliments, passive aggressiveness etc

Appreciate it! I don't think doing exercise WHILE working for me would be ideal as I still live with family and may be noisy, plus not the best at multitasking lol. But I will definitely try make more time for walking, perhaps I should try to wake up earlier in the mornings and get a walk in before I start my day.

That's the last subject anyone wants to hear.

The wife and I joked if people asked us when we're having kids at the wedding, I had some prepared responses like "well not in front of everyone", "you're not my type", and "do I need to call you when we make that decision or something?" Luckily no one did.

That's not something you change your mind on from meeting the right person. You meet the right person who also doesn't want kids. Making someone else change their mind about having kids when they don't in your relationship is not a healthy relationship.

Okay, great, so it sounds like there's a little bit of flexibility. I'd try to build time in the calendar for walking - whether that's at morning/evening "commute" time, or by blocking some time off on the calendar (I know, I know, way easier said than done). It took me a long time WFH before I started blocking off my calendar for things like lunch, but you're entitled to that break during the day, so you should take it.

Maybe try something like an under-desk bicycle or a treadmill desk to try and build a little bit of physical activity into the day - I find myself on meetings every once in a while where I'm just listening in or with my team who knows me well, and I pull my bike trainer up to my desk and ride on Zwift during the meeting.
