Self Improvement
333 readers
1 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.

How was your week?
Not too bad. Worked out for 4 days. Weather wasn't really cooperating for cycling though so most of my commutes were meh.
Do you have some plans for next week?
Nothing terribly different. Try and hit the gym as much as possible. Hang out with friends on a couple days, hopefully.
How was your July?
Just ok. Stayed in shape, commuted by bike as much as I could. Took a week+ off and didn't really get to relax much so still feeling a bit burned out. Reconnected with a couple of old friends, but also feeling other friendships/relationships slip up. Work has been soulcrushing like always.
Do you have plans for August?
More of the same really. Hoping to hang out few more times with some friends before the summer is out. Also taking a few days off using my PTO so that I can have shorter work weeks. Might just renew my apartment search.
