Life teaches us a plethora of lessons, many of which go in one ear and out the other. It’s not until we reach a certain age that we realize the importance of these concepts, some of which even turn out to be major game-changers.
Many people consider these to be “cheat codes” for a more fruitful existence, which they shared in various Reddit threads. These hacks range from staying hydrated to embracing ignorance about things you don’t know about.

One thing that really shifted everything for me was learning to *pause* before reacting. Whether it’s an argument, a tough email, or just a stressful moment, taking even 10 seconds to breathe and not respond immediately has saved me so much unnecessary drama and regret.
Stop acting embarrassed if you don’t know something. If you’re learning a new skill or talking to someone about a topic that you don’t know much about, don’t say “Yeah, ok” when you have no idea what they’re talking about. Let go of your ego and ask them to explain it. You’ll become so much more educated once you embrace ignorance.
Let them – let people think whatever they want of you. Let them act how they want and then act accordingly. Let them show you who they are and then act accordingly. Detachment from expectations of how other people are supposed to be has been the biggest freedom of my life.
You’ve got the right to make mistakes, they won’t cost your life.
Pretty freeing, once you realize that you can f**k up as long as you own how it goes afterward. It’s pretty much the basis for growth.
Stop caring what other people think of me. I was a hardcore people pleaser in my 20s. I worked hard at it. Then when I turned 30 it was like a switch flipped. I still treat people with respect and kindness, but I’ve let go of the idea that anyone needs to like me, and therefore, validate me. I don’t like everyone, why does it matter if some people don’t like me?
Good sleep, good nutrition, and plenty of hydration. I never realized that all three of these areas greatly impact mental health. The “brain fog” people experience is likely just dehydration.
Leaving people and places that do not serve you well is a great skill to have. It is a very difficult skill but it will improve your life.
Learn to stay calm when everything is falling apart. Most people panic, but if you can think clearly in the midst of chaos, it’s like having a cheat code in life. It gives you an advantage in everything: in discussions, in decisions, in difficult moments.
Nobody can save you, only you. When something bad is done to you, recovering from that and healing is your duty and responsibility.
It’s unfair and freeing at the same time.
Care JUST ENOUGH. Seriously. While I’m still trying to perfect it, I sort of let my concern for a lot of things diminish significantly and not only am I able to put my concern into more pressing and/or important things, but I AM significantly happier overall. Again, it’s not perfect, and the big sad and anxiety come around every now and then, but overall, I’ve been doing a lot better. I recommend it.
Not drinking soda.
Limiting social media interaction to 10 minutes (or whatever works for you).
Understanding you can only do what you can do. Stressing about the insanity of our world doesn’t do anyone any good. If you’re a fortunate person to be able to live a good life in a safe place, enjoy it.
Don’t take stuff personal. Even if it’s directed at you, don’t get defensive, but ask why and do a reality check with yourself.
The day I started realizing that a lot of fears I had were the projection of internal anxiety onto external circumstances, everything changed.
I started working on myself and my perceptions.
