Hopefully you have recovery codes for all these accounts.
With that said, I don't like to rely on these recovery codes bc of some horror stories.
Alternatively when setting up 2FA, you can for example:
- use Authy bc it syncs tokens in the cloud and so you can recover your 2FA tokens on a new phone based on your phone nbr. I used to do that but have stopped bc Twilio (owner of Authy) is slowly retiring the product.
- Keep a copy of each token when you set up 2FA. I keep an encrypted disk image with a list of my 2FA tokens. Yes, it weakens a little bit the security. But I sleep well bc I won't lock myself out in case of trouble. It's a trade-off I embrace.
With my kids, I used to do visits with increasing intervals. 1st time after 1 min, then 3 min, then 5 min, then 7 min,... I never reached 11 min before they were asleep.
There's a wide variety of different breathing techniques that can be used for specific purposes. It's been literally life-changing for me. Some techniques can help you getting out of a bad moment (anxiety, stress,...) but others have much deeper effects and can transform how you function as a human being.
You can for example check the following broad categories: a) Conscious breathing (Holotropic, rebirth, and the likes), b) Pranayama (Kapalabhati, anuma viloma,..), c) Buteyko + McKeown, d) Anapana Sati, e) Qi gong, f) Wim Hof.
It takes time to absorb the practical knowledge and use it in daily life but as the question asked, I was richly rewarded for the time I've invested in mastering these techniques.
Life is probabilistic, you can't define your future for sure but I believe you can increase the expected enjoyability of the outcome by working on adding potentially enjoyable scenarios to the collection of potential future outcomes. As for examples, I invested in some friendships at moments when there were more pressing rational things to do, thinking that maybe, some day, it would flourish and be worth it. Or I managed to set up a working environment where I sat for 10 years in the same space as a friend I would love to build a business with though we had completely different jobs. I was patiently waiting for a real opportunity for us to work together, all the while I was embracing my regular job. I was also building new skills in things that interest me. I was always acting with determination but not with obsession and anxiety. I was mentally accepting whatever scenarios would eventually materialize, I was only optimizing on increasing the quantity of possible enjoyable scenarios. But, as said before, all this is worth nothing if you don't treat your body with respect and are not very disciplined with your finances.

When you grow older, the things you truly like doing don't change that much. It's the things you don't like that you hate doing every day a little bit more. You should plan for that.
I see too many friends who have been micromanaging their lives since when we were in our 20's and now feel entrapped and miserable because of work and/or partner and/or relationships...
As many have mentioned here, the first thing is to focus on your health, mental and physical. Absolute necessity.
The second thing is to develop optionality for later instead of closing doors as many do. Plant seeds for your future life. You don't know what will work or not for you in the future. So, while you're busy living your current life, plant seeds that all have a reasonable chance to grow into a life scenario that you would enjoy later. Don't focus on a single objective, make sure you pursue at least a handful. No need to be obsessive. And then, water the seeds when you can, abandon those who die, replant when necessary. It is mostly a background process, be gently alert to spot potential future opportunities. It has made wonders for me.
Although as a non-native speaker I find their service very attractive, I've so far refrained from installing their apps/extension. I was never confident enough about how Grammarly would keep safe every word I type (emails,...). This bug is a confirmation I should not trust them or any similar service.
My first computer as well. As there was no hard drive included, I had to save on audio tape the programs I was inventing or typing from UK 'Your Computer' weekly magazine.
Also, graphical definition was 64 by 44 if I remember well, meaning that imagination was welcome when playing 'games'!
1982: I bought a ZX-81 Sinclair. No hard drive, had to save stuff on an audio tape, 1kb RAM (I bought a 16kb extension), screen definition 64x44 if I remember well. I learned coding and English entirely by reading the UK weekly 'Your Computer'. A great time!
No, "gipsy" is not a denigrating term. At least those "roma" coming from Spain and Portugal call themselves gipsies. It is true that there is strong discrimination in Hungary though.
I double on this one. I've had very bad chronic pain in wrists and back for more than 10 years. At times, I was forced out of work for long periods, or had to convince my wife to type the code I was dictating her...
I tried pretty much every possible physical and chemical help and visited tens of doctors and therapists. I had variable results with these therapies, sometimes null and sometimes decent, but never decisive.
Two years ago, I began with Alexander technique and followed approx 30 sessions over a year. I have discovered how bad I was using my body and therefore why I would not improve my condition with any chemical or chiropractic therapy. I have now reduced pain to very acceptable levels and have a normal working life. Healing requires definitely more than visiting a competent therapist, but Alexander technique was a very important piece of the game.
