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 was addicted to vape during the Juul days. It was just so easy to buy from nearby 711. So easy to bring to work and smoke outside, without lingering smell of cigs. At one point I was smoking 2 Juul pods a day, which is nicotine intake of 2 cig packs a day. Only managed to "quit" becaue Juul got banned and I moved to vape mods. At one time the addiction became so expensive, and I was so sick of paying for shitty leaky pods where the wick just burnt out and taste horrible I moved onto RDA type vape where you have to make the coil and the wick yourself to save money. The RDA vape was such a lifesaver, because you can't continuously and mindlessly inhale, you have to prep the wire, wet the wick before each inhale. I managed to eventually quit because it was just too much of a hassle. So the lesson is switch to RDA vape, it worked at least for me.
