Self Improvement

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.

Just checked my watch and I've been sober for 2 weeks officially. Donno how long I will go(legit hope I'm done but life sucks and shit happens). I feel like I'm gonna get urges here in the next week or 2. I wish I could just not think about it and let myself vibe but I've dealt with my drinking problem since I was 18. Here's to hoping.
We enlisted our friend who has amazing organizational and cleaning skills to help clean the fuck out of our oldest's room. Got that shit knocked out in 3 hours. She's coming over early to help a bit more before their Sunday DND session.
I got my character built for the Cairn one shot planned for this Friday. If it happens cool, if not then social anxiety go down mode activated. I wanna do it if the others are on board and the social anxiety is just part of me so I'll get over it lol. At least I can recognize it now amd manage it before severe attacks happen. Those fucking suck.
I'm on a pretty big reading streak out the gate for 2024. On book 4 for the year and went with Trans Liberation by Leslie Feinberg. This book is fucking powerful. You know how sometimes you end up reading a book at the right time? This has been that so far and I'm sure it's going to continue. I think I still have some unchecked biases towards the trans space and I feel like it's helping me see those so I can learn more and fix it at the door. I believe I'm an ally but there is still a lot I don't know. I wanna be more than an ally and start getting into activism and this book is basically telling me that.
I think that's it for the most part. We are still working on divergent design and open face stackable bins are fucking expensive. Like bruh, it's just fucking plastic. I think since they are geared towards teachers that it's priced like that on purpose. Fucking predatory pricing can go diaf.
awesome work !
