Ask HN: The habit adopted in 2016 that had the greatest impact on your health?
1. Mindful meditation [free]<p>John Kabat-Zinn [0] masters the link between science and meditation and has published very valuable books (including guided&#x2F;audio meditation exercises) [1]. There are a couple of scientific studies which prove effectiveness [2] [3].<p>2. LSD [$5-10&#x2F;dose + $25&#x2F;multi-use test kit]<p>Benefits (mid- and long-term) are similar to those of meditation. In addition, you may be able to access your spiritual dimension, which increases quality of life even further (it is less immediate with meditation). It however requires one to literally read&#x2F;understand&#x2F;know everything about the substance before applying it (minimum literature: &quot;The psychedelic explorer&#x27;s guide&quot; by Fadiman). Also, order a test kit and test before you ingest. Certain &quot;edge cases&quot;&#x2F;people should not try it.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Jon_Kabat-Zinn" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Jon_Kabat-Zinn</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thepiratebay.org&#x2F;torrent&#x2F;4180277&#x2F;Mindful_Way_Through_Depression_-_Guided_Meditation_Practices" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thepiratebay.org&#x2F;torrent&#x2F;4180277&#x2F;Mindful_Way_Through...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.harvard.edu&#x2F;gazette&#x2F;story&#x2F;2011&#x2F;01&#x2F;eight-weeks-to-a-better-brain&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.harvard.edu&#x2F;gazette&#x2F;story&#x2F;2011&#x2F;01&#x2F;eight-weeks-to...</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vox.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;8&#x2F;27&#x2F;9214697&#x2F;meditation-brain-neuroscience" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vox.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;8&#x2F;27&#x2F;9214697&#x2F;meditation-brain-neuros...</a>
