Self Improvement
333 readers
7 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:
- 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 full week left to finish the month strong.
My week was pretty cool. Many small victories. I beat the highest ascension in Spellrogue, a phenomenal slay the spire type game. Gym going amazingly. Today I met a guy practicing break dancing and he gave me some tips and showed me stuff for my handstands. I successfully cropped and hemmed a few button down shirts and they look fantastic and that hem line is straight as fuck. I started working on a very basic plushy using fabric from unused tapestries. Eventually I am envisioning a meow zedong plushy and other cute commie friends. And i have started reading The Brothers Karamazov.
I haven't tried Spellrogue yet but I am a certified deckbuilding freak
so it's on the list. What's your favourite deckbuilding game?
Btw recently I listened to a great Rev Left Radio episode on Dostoevsky, it was super interesting. I definitely want to read his books as soon as I build the discipline to read a 800 page novel
Before I would have said Monster Train. Yet to play the second, but maybe i will soon. But now definitely spellrogue. The addition of dice into the mix, which i was initially skeptical of, is incredible.
