biking. its fun and has health (both mental and physical) benefits. it was tough first few times but now I cant wait any longer than 2 days to jump on my bike for an hour long ride.

I used to use the Jawbone UP because it had the best REM sleep tracking. I bought up a ton of old ones when they closed down because they don't last. I use the fitbit now. The sleep tracking has caught up. The link between REM and mood/clarity is very strong in my case.
Is there one which doesn't upload your habits to the cloud?
Completely changing my mindset toward success. Only having positive thoughts. All actions start with me to attain my most desired goals. No complaining, no blaming, no hesitating, and no coulda woulda shoulda. Instead, "Next time I'm in this situation, this is what I'll do to be successful." Staying focused on the goal. Failure is only a necessary stepping stone toward success and is only there to tell you how to do…

Would like to add "habit of drinking water" to this list. ANY beverage whether its coffee, soda, tea - is easily 4 to 6 dollars and is an entirely made up requirement.
Don't pay for somebody else to make your tea! A cup of ordinary tea should cost, like, 15p. That includes teabag, electricity, water, milk, and amortized cost of kettle and mug. Even if you buy something unnecessarily expensive, like fancy matcha tea powder, you're looking at less than 50p.
Replacing alcohol with water, except for occasional social events. Too many times I’d come home dead tired mentally and reach for a cold one, which inevitably led to…another cold one haha. Replace with water (bonus if you add a little apple cider vinegar to it!), you’ll feel better and your body will thank you. No non-social drinking allowed!
I have been cycling to work, during my 4.6 km commute, every Friday, for the last three months now. (1) I save about USD 10.00 every Friday: a substantial amount in the part of the world I live in (2) I get off work two hours early on Fridays, so I use this time to explore the city (3) This is a form of exercise for me.

Jealous! I used to commute about 8km by bike on my first job. It was out of necessity but after 3 months I saw some serious benefits. I went out for a run and I couldn't believe the stamina I had built up without noticing Now my commute is 32km _one way_ and I dream of being able to commute like that again :( Obviously I recommend you keep doing it :)

That sounds exhausting.

I’d love to do this but on roads I find cars very anxiety producing and on trails I find getting around walkers very anxiety producing :-(
