It would be cool if we had a self-improvement comm.
As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues. However, I think that there is still a lot that can be done on the individual level to improve your life.
Most online self-improvement spaces have a reactionary slant and are dominated by the same type of guy, which is another great reason to have a self-improvement comm on this website.
EDIT: our awesome admins created the new comm and our awesome comrade @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net stepped up to moderate it, please check it out and start posting: https://hexbear.net/c/self_improvement
Are there any improovers here? What would you like to improve in 2024? Would you like to have a comm where we can hang out? 
I'd like to improve almost everything but I get paralyzed and disheartened when I realize how far behind I am at my age. Maybe a comm would be cool though.

It's never too late, comrade! There is no point in comparing yourself to others since everybody has different circumstances. It's best to compare yourself to your past self and see how much progress you have made.
I recommend starting small and adding some healthy habits first. For example, you can download a step counting app and try to walk for at least 3000-4000 steps every day. I also recommend listening to self-improvement podcasts, since it's an easy way to absorb useful information. You can listen to them while walking or washing the dishes. I also recommend the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, it's a good book and has a lot of useful advice. You can do this chief
Thanks for the encouragement. Any specific pods you can recommend?
I'm a huge podcast enjoyer, here are some recommendations:
Huberman Lab - the host is a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford. This is my favourite episode, it has a lot of actionable advice
The Tim Ferris Show - the guy interviews successful people from all fields. There are a lot of episodes so you can choose the guests which you like
10% Happier - this one is focused on stuff like meditation, mindfulness, mental health and Buddhism. My favourite episode is with the autor of Atomic Habits
The Art of Manliness - the title is a bit cringe but it's a good podcast and there is no toxic masculinity
Life Kit - a podcast by NPR on how to do stuff
The Psychology Podcast - different topics from psychology but it's not too dry because every episode is an interview of a different guest
It's Not Just In Your Head - how mental health problems are caused by living in hellworld
Wrestling With Depression - open conversations with people going thru stuff, except a lot of them are comedians so it's funny as well
Overdue - podcast about books. The hosts are very nice and have decent politics
The Antifada - my favourite leftist podcast
I started music super late and I've had a lot of horrible curve balls thrown my way that came with starting late, including teachers who did not want to work with my lack of ability/newness/inmmaturity and an insane amount of student loans that I had to truly suffer to pay off. But I'm glad I still did it, especially now that I'm starting to feel my time and skill coalescence into something worthy. I'm proud of my journey, I have a unique journey and I know at some point that perspective will be useful.
Additionally, I think there's an aspect/sense of journey that one gets that can't possibly be felt to someone who hasn't started. The journey itself is worth the price of admission.
In general, unless you're talking about something physical like learning a sport, you'll pick up things faster relative to people who are learning it at the socially appropriate age because you'll have more life experience and better time management skills.
good joke
