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? solidarity

I would like to improove. Gonna brainstorm some stuff

If a comm does not get approved, maybe a weekly mega on /c/chat or something?

[-] moonlake@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

Hell yeah, is there something specific you would like to improve? I hope we can get a comm but a weekly/monthly megathread is a great plan B

I think my main goals are trying to get consistent with exercise and crack down on my sugar addiction.

[-] moonlake@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Those are good ass goals, I wish you the best of luck!

I would also like to exercise consistently, more specifically go running at least once per week and do a bodyweight exercise routine at least once per week.

Thanks, same to you!

In case you need a base to work off of, the Couch To 5k program for running is free and pretty reasonable for beginners

[-] moonlake@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the advice! I agree about C5k, it's a good program and that's how I started running. I'm still using it as a base when going for a run.

I just remembered that there is a subreddit called https://www.reddit.com/r/sugarfree/

As we all know, reddit is trash but the niche subs like this can sometimes have a lot of useful info

[-] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Oh awesome, thanks!

I do miss when reddit was focused on making those types of subs as there were some really great guides and info posts people put together that are sadly aging.
