Take them off about an hour before you’re gonna go to bed, let your feet breathe, let them feel the ground — even when you have to tip toe really fast in the kitchen because the floor is cold. You’ll sleep better! No idea why… but it works

Before I go to sleep, I put on my Happy Feet—socks, according to their website, “designed to separate, stretch, and align your toes”—and I wear them for ~30 minutes. People never think about their feet—unless they are some fetishist, which is, I’m afraid to say, perverse—but 25% of the body's bones are in the feet, and, according to Reflexology, parts of each foot correspond to different body parts. There have been times when, suffering from a headache or backache, I put on my Happy Feet and the pain goes away almost instantly.

nothing gets me to sleep faster than the relief of climbing into bed when my legs/feet are tired from the day. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, though!

The descriptions of smells in books is something that always sticks out to me. In Don Quixote, for example, it’s the chivalric scent of ambergris; in One Hundred Years of Solitude, the smell of Colonel Aureliano Buendía’s lavender-perfumed moustache lingers on the page. At the university library, I would often be blanketed by the warm, woody aroma of oud whenever a Muslim student walked past my desk. Smelling good makes you identifiable, it helps you feel confident, and it pleases everyone around you

Don’t like the local bands in your area? Do your fav bands always skip your city? I know the feeling: it sucks. But it’s also okay! Maybe your city, like mine, has a really vibrant jazz scene. Or maybe, like mine, it attracts renowned classical musicians. Turns out there’s a tiny cafe near my house that country musicians from the U.S. travel thousands of miles to. Who knew? Don’t worry if it might not seem like “your thing” — just go, you could be surprised. There’s no point resisting, you have to embrace your city and play to its strengths. This doesn’t just apply to music btw, go and explore it all! Theatre, museums, galleries, sports, it’s endless…

Kind of obvious but asking yourself what you believe in is really valuable. There’s no pressure to have a deep-rooted belief system or to practice a religion, but having some sort of personal conviction about the world can be comforting and affirming
