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:
This week I went running on 4 days in a row. It was great and I will try to run on 4-5 days per week from now on.
I think that running 5 days a week for 10 minutes in the morning is the best bang for your buck in terms of effort vs. rewards. It's not a huge time or energy investment, just 50 minutes per week. But the benefits are noticeable, especially in mood.
Running in the morning starts a domino effect where the first thing that you do after running is easier, which makes the second thing easier and so on. I try to keep that momentum going through the day.
Nicely done! 5x10 is a lot easier to get in than 1x50, and those are great points about the mental health and the domino effect.
