Here's something related to my mental health that I have been trying to work on for my to-don't list. I'm not always successful, but I have enjoyed the outcome each time I try it.
When I become aware, I don't let my mind time travel. It has helped me be kinder to my past self that has made tons of mistakes and it helps me worry less, be less anxious about my future self's ability to navigate pain, constant work and uncertainty.
