If you're familiar with the jawdropping thriller that is Severance on Apple TV+, you know just how important wellness can be in your everyday routine. Especially if one part of you is working 24/7, and the other is looking for answers in their own life the rest of the time.
Luckily for us, it's much simpler than splitting your memory in half. For some it's yoga every morning, others might meditate on their lunch at work - there are ample opportunities through your day to find time for yourself and keep yourself accountable for how you're feeling. With quality support, you can elevate that self-care to another level when you take a look at the real definitive factor of all wellness: habits.
Building Healthy Habits, Severing Poor Ones
Emerson said, "You become what you think about all day long." Much better than a Ricken quote like "At the center of industry...is dust", right?
Well, Emerson might be right, and the same goes for our bodies and minds. They can only perform at the level that we aim for, and we get back what we put in. Habits are the fundamentally strongest element of any new skill, activity, or hobby you might be trying, and are essential to self care at it's foundation. Fortunately, we've collected some of the strongest habits of what makes self care effective, and where to put your time and energy.
How Can I Elevate My Self Care?
- Prioritize Sleep – Sleep is like feeding your mind the same way you feed your body. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night to prioritize your muscle/mind's recovery times and giving your body the daily nutrients it needs.
- Stay Hydrated – Do you take a water bottle with you everywhere you go? You're on the right track. Drink enough water daily to maintain energy levels and overall well-being.
- Move Your Body – Calling all gym rats... getting your steps in is just as important as hitting 225 on bench. When you engage in regular exercise, even if it's just a short walk, you could increase your cognitive energy and boost your mood.
- Eat Nutritious Foods – Focus on a balanced diet rich in foods that are actually GOOD for you. Seemingly so hard to come by nowadays, take that extra minute or two to find the right choice for your next meal prep.
- Practice Mindfulness – In Severance, there's seemingly no space for this besides those "wellness" sessions that Ms.Casey used to run. When you're docked 10 points just for smiling, chances are you're not able to keep up with your mindfulness like meditation, yoga, etc. Find time in your everyday routine to get 5-10 minutes to yourself and recharge. You'd be surprised what a short walk or drive around the block can do for the psyche.
- Set Boundaries – Learn to say no to things that drain you and protect your personal time. Especially the Break Room. Nobody wants to end up there, right?
- Take Time for Your Hobbies – What recharges you? What makes you happy? Enjoy your hobbies like Irv does with his painting, and take some time for yourself to work on what you always want to make time for... just don't doze off at your desk, alright?
- Connect with Others – Maintain meaningful relationships and reach out for support when needed. Just make sure you're not talking to their Innie when you mean to be talking to their Outtie, okay?
- Unplug from Technology – Take breaks from screens and social media to refresh your mind. We talk a great deal about digital detoxes here at Troomy, and chances are, your texting thumbs and doomscrolling nights could use it.
Overall, core elements of what make a great routine are inherent in almost all of our days right now. That means it isn't EASY, but it is SIMPLE. So you don't have to learn rocket science or understand the scary numbers on screen if you're going to get your habits on the right track. Speaking of, let's pop in some quick predictions on today's episode before we set off on elevating our routines together.
Predictions for Tomorrow's Episode (Season 2, Episode 3)
Now, most of you diehard fans have probably already seen the episode by the time you read this. However: there's a lot to unpack with how this season's been set up.
We're at a potentially narrative-defining moment in this season already. Mark Scout (outtie) has been posed with the possibility of reuniting with his late wife Gemma, and Ms.Cobel has driven off in a tantrum that's left us all wondering what Mark has left on the table with Lumon. A revolution? Revenge? A rescue mission? All cards are in play at this pivotal point, as we surely will learn a bit more what's behind the curtain with Mr.Milchik and co.
Our Contention
Team Troomy is big on board with the idea that Lumon's going to threaten outtie Mark this episode. This could be the point where we see their relationship have a cataclysmic conclusion, especially after Ms.Cobel all but confirmed that she knew what really happened to Gemma. That may open the door for revisiting the console used for the "overtime contingency" play, where they may use "goldfish" or "clean slate" on Mark to get another crack at using him for Cold Harbor.
Or, Mark Scout gathers himself, and starts scheming on revenge. Rather than blowing up and showing his hand, he plays along and devises a way to get his memories combined like Petey did, and save what's left to save on the Severance floor. Only time will tell. Let's try to enjoy this episode and the episodes that follow equally.

- Productivity - Staying productive is tough when your brain gets foggy. Stay energized and engaged with Focus gummies, powered by lion's mane mushrooms.

- Boosting moods - Feeling positive positively makes your day 10x better. Naturally push your cognition and mental to better moods with cordyceps support, perfect for energizing your day ahead and feeling good doing it.
