Life is complex and nobody has all the answers. However, sometimes even the things that we think should be common knowledge turn out to be not that common.
A couple of days ago, Reddit user Lowertier4848 made a post on the platform, asking everyone to share “cheat codes” in real life that are overlooked because of how few people use them.
From admitting your own mistakes to listening instead of talking during conversations, here are the ones that have climbed to the top of the discussion.
#1
If you hate everyone, have something to eat.
.
If you feel like everyone hates you, get some sleep.
.
If you hate yourself, have a shower.
.
If you hate the world, get out into nature.

NOT GIVING A SINGLE F WHAT OTHERS THINK. I’m almost 51 and spent 50 yrs people pleasing,dieting,all of the things. For what?
So, the last year I’ve just done whatever I wanted.
It’s a beautiful thing to give ZERO Fs.
True story.

Water. Seeing it, hearing it, being submerged in it, and most of all drinking it. I can’t count the number of times I felt like a new person after washing my face or showering immediately after a long day, or calmed down just by the sounds of rain or flowing water, felt rejuvenated after drinking it… honestly i’m surprised everyday by the healing effects of water. Can’t be overstated imo.

Showering when you’re feeling down about yourself or mildly depressed.
Shower, then go outside for a walk, get some air. It does wonders.

Being kind to people, even when you don’t have to be. Seriously, it’s like a life hack with hidden bonuses.
People tend to remember those who made them feel good, whether it’s a compliment, a simple “How’s your day?” or just listening when they’re having a rough one. It opens doors, creates opportunities, and builds connections in ways that are more powerful than people think.
Also, being kind doesn’t just help others; it makes *you* feel better too. It’s like a cheat code for leveling up in life, and it’s free!

Regular exercise. During times in my life where I don’t exercise, I slowly sink into anxiety and despair. A few weeks of good diet, little or no alcohol, and exercise every few days, it reverses completely and I feel like a different person.

“Thank you for waiting” instead of “sorry I took so long.” has made my general life and self esteem so much better. I do that with a lot of things now. “Thank you for listening!” instead of “sorry for talking so much” is great.
