Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of September! 
I hope your month has started well.
Some discussion ideas:
- How was your week?
- Do you have some plans for next week?

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:
My week wasn't great in terms of mood but I managed to make some progress. I went running on 3 days in a row. Practiced meditation on 5 days in a row. Did some reading on a few days.
These three habits are now my pillars and it is something that I strive for every week. I invite everybody to take The Moonlake Challenge - every day from Monday to Friday:
It's only 30 minutes total per day so it's something that I can sustain long-term. After many years of self-improvement, I think these habits are the best bang for your buck. Maximum results for minimum effort.
I frame it as a challenge since it's more fun that way but it's just something to strive towards, it's not reasonable to expect the 15/15 score every week. Let me know if anybody attempts it
