Hell yeah walking is the one of fundamental self improvement things that I think gets gravely overlooked. Moving those legs and getting some fresh air is critical to creating a better self great job!

Been touching grass a lot more lately too, big recommendation too. touch-grass

The cardio and leg exercise is obviously good, but I feel like a nice walk is even better for my mental health. Just setting aside some dedicated time to unwind walking and clear your head pays dividends for dealing with stress and helps me be more mindful and focused in the other things in my life. I'm bad at just sitting and meditating, but I'm pretty good at putting one foot in front of the other over and over.

(Flexibility work/stretching routine is good for that too. I'm surprisingly limber now considering my size and build, I can plant my palms in the ground straight legged touching my toes for the first time in more than a decade.meow-bounce )

Self Improvement

315 readers
4 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.
