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.

Sorry for the late mega, I couldn't post it yesterday due to some life stuff but we are now back!
Mixed week.
The good: Took most of it off from work, which was nice.
Streak of going to the gym at least 4 times a week continued. People are starting to really notice the changes in my body.
Spent some me time on one of my days off for the first time in a long time.
Went to my new primary doctor. Took me forever to choose one and I've got a good feeling about him. Tests I took were all good.
So-so stuff: Work situation still feels like its simmering under the surface. But I'm also changing my approach because I've really been thinking about how to accommodate for my team's needs. If I can take the pressure from corporate for a bit longer I may be able to do the best by my team.
The bad: The situation with my crush continues to be a bit volatile although holding steady. Biggest issue for me is grappling with how my [possible/undiagnosed] ND affects how I approach issues in relationships. In particular how my mind just randomly goes down a negativity spiral. A couple of days were not good at all. Overall I'm still climbing out of it. At least faster than I did in the middle part of last year when something similar happened.
