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 think my next give up thing for self improvement is just gonna be
right now I'm not even having a particularly trying time with it but I've given up so much already so why the fuck not. I don't know where this ends other than the hope I eventually feel happy after these decisions spoiler idk about that. Feel like I'm slowly ship of thesaurus myself replacing my worse habits with something else until I become someone different, I don't know what the end goal is yet and having to discover for any new part as I remove an old one does leave me anxious.
That's a good decision. I spend too much time on reddit, it would be better to spend that time reading books or playing the guitar. Do you have some activities in mind that you want to do in your new free time? If you're interested in habits, I recommend the book Atomic Habits. It's a decent book on quitting bad habits and forming good habits.
Writing for one even if it's just fanfics to start, and thank you for the link and easy download
I think besides the memes on reddit the one thing hard to avoid lingering there is for tech solutions the death of forums really means you gotta add reddit to the end of whatever question you have to find something.
