Don't eat fast food. As I, the speaker of that sentence, find myself in a chic-fil-a drive thru later lol. I at least put limits on myself to only have it every other week.

"Begin the day with a nutritious, healthy breakfast." Some are saying, "Duh. Yes. That's a no-brainer." For me, half the time I don't have time for even a slice of toast. If I do, the butter weighs almost as much as the bread. The other half, when I have time, includes a lot of bacon, fried eggs or French toast, oatmeal/cream of wheat/or grits; coffee; chocolate milk; orange juice or tomato juice with the appropriate "flavoring" for an extra kick. What can I say? I'm an extremist. You may say I am being true to my "Hypocritical" oath.

To use good coping skills 🙈

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

If our mental health is not good at the moment, how do we convey it to the team? Most of the folks in my team take such things lightly and I feel weird to let them know about it. So I just have to lie and put a sick leave.
Also, even before friday ends, I start to stress about monday… and I think that is wrong. We should look forward to work and not stress about it but sadly the people around me here make me want to leave the office.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
