We must always ball. To be a leftist we gotta ball. Even when it's rough, niko-dunk

I did see that! I don't think I'm gonna snag it though. I'm trying to focus on using the tools/assets i have right now. Part of me feels like my self-improvement must come from that which I already possess. I don't mean this in a bad way, but I don't think I need another "thing", rather I need to use the "thing" I already got and use it fully. So many of the "things" i have I haven't even used and self-improvement to me means that I take a proper inventory of my "things" and utilize and create from that.

For example, I don't need to another book, I got a library at home of unread books, I don't need to download/check-out/buy a new one, I need to make a habit of reading what I already have. So many of these books were purchases from that mindset of "Oh I gotta read this one I have a chance", and rather than getting another book, I need to take action and create space to read.

I hope that makes sense in the moral/self-improvement mindset sense, I guess I'm trying to say I don't need to add anything to myself right now, I need cultivate which is ready there I guess.

Just wanted to let you know since it was free but I feel you 100%, there's no point in hoarding tools if you don't use them

Self Improvement

333 readers
71 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.
