I'm

quitting soda and replacing it with a healthier, slighlty pricier beverage

less addicting and doesn't harm my health, in fact it will save me money long term in dental problems and costs. Its at least >= 1%

I've been having my morning coffee outside every morning, and that's been helpful. I take it as it telling my body it's day time.

Waking up at the same time everyday even if i go to sleep late.

I set an alarm for 1 hr before I wake up to take my meds. When I wake up, I'm ready to go rather than drag butt around the entire house until I feel awake.

If you can find an avenue, check in with someone every morning to tell them how you feel. It can be as simple as a word or longer. This makes you notice so you can adjust as necessary. It also may help you feel bonded or at least less alone.

Daily walks at night when the world has stopped, no one is outside, it's quiet and dark. I put on headphones and take my dog. I can walk and look as ridiculous as I want and be free from everyone's opinions and judgments.

Make sure you do at least 1 productive thing towards a long-term goal per day, even if it's super simple. I have a few long-term goals broken down into lists, so I go through them and pick at least one thing to check off. I usually go with ones I feel like doing that day.

Edit: Do something artistic/creative at least once/week. No boundaries, no goals, no intent. Just go with how you feel and see what comes out.
