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.

Passed a major test I needed for my training today, the philosophy the teacher is instilling is one of fail and try again. I think I been doing well in this regard because I been learning from my mistakes. Some of the other dudes aren't taking it well and it saddens me, I know it prob shouldn't and I can't help them if they give up but idk. Still doing well with the course work, my epa 608 materials and my cardio all this time plus eating reasonably on my non fast days and locking in when I fast.
All this is difficult but when I get a good career out of it all and can help my family it's gonna be worth it. Been a neet for most of my time posting on this site and if I manage to break out it'll only be because of the love and support from everyone around me. Teacher says money changes people, I believe him but I'm gonna do my best to remember where I came from.
