Hello comrades and welcome to the second improvement megathread of August! 
Some discussion ideas:
How was your week?
Do you have some plans for next week?
Do you have some tools or resources that you want to share?

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:
Another week, another mixed bag.
Big positive- Worked out just 4-5 times this past week and even though I'm super sore, I feel good about how my progress. I do wonder what things would have been like if I didn't have to work 6 days a week for a solid chunk of the year.
So-so- Got most of what I needed to get done at work this week. But everything took too long and weighed me down, but...
The bad- More than anything, my strained relationship with my brother is really starting to affect me. Not sure what to do. I've tried speaking with him several times in the past about this particular issue that is driving a wedge between us, but I just don't have the energy to keep on doing it over and over again only for him to go back to his default reaction. Its had the knock on effect of just draining my social battery and I just don't have the energy to sustain my usual jovial self at work with my friend and other co-workers.
