Personal

  • I stopped journaling for no real reason last week so I need to get back on it. I’m trying to update my wardrobe and get some more “I’m a grown man now” fits. I’m hitting up my local thrift stores and I’m finding a lot of the quality to be pretty bad on the shirts and pants alike. Also talked to my neighbor at the mailbox for our complex. A bit of a moron but seem like a good person. I need to be more social and meet people.

school/computer nerd shit

  • I have finals this week. This master program has been the correct move for me. It’s been hard, and a bit deflating, and got more student debt cause of it but being a computer wizard tends to have high return on investment so I should be able to clear that debt in a reasonable time with high earning potential.

  • Been doing a lot of programming this week programming-communism . I setup a personal site to host my resume and stuff and I need to jazz it up a bit but I am just trying to get my basics done. Also checked out a ton of technical books I need to read in my future classes I want to read them before the summer ends and shift my brain into overdrive on this techno nerd stuff.

fitness

  • i was unaware of the game of the Kettlebell. It’s a wonderful workout instrument, been doing swings approximately 250 a day at 35 KG/50 LB and I am seeing great results. I’m strong, my core is MUCH better looking and performing and I have come a long way in a short time.

Goals

  • just more game development stuff, do my reading of my books I checked out, and keep up my forward momentum into week ahead

Self Improvement

333 readers
1 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.
