Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of December! bonfire

We recently had an influx of new users and I'd love to hear from them. This is the weekly improvement thread where you can say how you're doing, post your Ws and Ls.

As leftists, there are many excellent reasons why we should strive to become the best version of ourselves. This is the space where we improve together and share our progress.

Here are some of our usual discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals or plans for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! unity

My problem is that all of my W's felt hollow. They didn't make me feel any better mentally nor change the structural shit that are the real foundational problems for me. Yes, physically I felt better. But that didn't cross over into other aspects of my life and that juxtaposition is part of what made me spiral. I'm still broke. I still hate my shitty job. I'm still not happy with my life in general. There are aspects of my life that are going alright and I do appreciate them but the big, foundational stuff feels even more like an unchanging monolith.

Self Improvement

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.
