Self Improvement

418 readers
11 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 second improvement megathread of June! bonfire It's the middle day of the month, which is a good time to look back on your progress this month and make some plans for the rest of the month.


Some discussion ideas:

  • How was your week?
  • Do you have some plans or goals for next week?
  • What would you like to accomplish by the end of June?
  • Do you have any sober days or streaks?

Poster caption: "Long live the union of workers and farmers, the base of soviet power!"

Good luck with your goals! rainbow-has

I got on the bike once last week. Drank a few days, but not binging. I've not been disciplined about my sleep.

It's progress compared to last month. That's what matters!

Resting up today to be ready for the week ahead. It's going to be a good week!

Making progress is the most important thing unity

Btw the Sleep Foundation has a lot of useful info. Getting enough sleep is a chore but I think it's worth it in the long term
