Self Improvement

448 readers
24 users here now

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.

Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of August! bonfire

Some discussion ideas:

-    How was your week?

-    Do you have some plans for next week?

-    Do you have some tools or resources that you want to share?

I fell off hard this week. I think I ran once. I was sore from work and took a couple days off from running and just haven't gotten back into my routine. Probably won't run tomorrow either because I loaded and entire dumpster with junk from my house today.

Had a weak moment with my sobriety. When cleaning out my garage I found an old fentanyl nasal spray bottle. It was completely dry, but I could see residue in the bottom. I probably would have done it if there wasn't such a huge risk of death, given that I had no idea how much was in there when I lost it. I guess I should still be proud because there was a time where I would have tried to do it one way or another.
