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:
- 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.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

I’ve decided to help try and save more money next year. i’m going to try and start/finish all the different projects/interests/hobbies i’ve accumulated over the years
I think meal prep is a great way to save money. I eat a bunch of oats, rice, lentils, beans and chickpeas which is not only super healthy but also super cheap
What are some of your projects that you want to do?
Yeah the bulk of my meals are cheap stuff but then i go to the grocery store and trying out the new vegan products they have which is where i feel like i spend a lot of my money at.
I’m gonna try to do what the other person said so this list might be long or short but just something for me to use a reference as well.

Tap for list
Those are some cool ass projects! I would love to get into fermentation and guerilla gardening one day
your list made me laugh because I also have bags to wax, my nibling requested more fermented hot sauce, i have a server waiting for me to put arr services on it, need to make garlic oil, have a backlog of books, a bunch of dress patterns and a sewing machine i have been meaning to do for 10 years, need to organize my camping stuff, need to go on more walks.. we have the same unfinished projects!!
i have to learn what sashiko stitching is now i'm assuming i'll be into it.
btw goodwill has cheap rice cookers that are perfect for melting wax!
that's a good idea i should do an unfinished project inventory!
Ooh i should probably do that too, that way i don’t just have them floating in my head and end up forgetting stuff.
