Self Improvement
333 readers

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.

There is one more week left of May to finish the month strong.
yeah, I've just been completely and utterly devoid of spoons recently. Big mood on not really feeling satisfied with video games but that's been less me wanting to be productive and me just not feeling the same playing video games. Last night I just killed a bunch of time staring at my screen because I was out of spoons but video games felt dreadfully boring to me
as for the weight loss? Intermittent fasting. I pretty reflexively dismiss anything that feels like a fad diet but it fuckin works, I don't know what else to tell you. I did it by just not eating anything after 1 PM on days that I work, because that's when I start working, and it made it easier to not eat due to there being no easily available food for me to just much on, unlike home, but idk how you would best put that into your schedule
