Self Improvement
251 readers
3 users here now
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.

I hit the gym three times this week. I also downloaded Rocksmith 2014 from Fitgirl (guitar hero with an actual guitar playing actual notes) and played it twice.
Didn't get around to practicing piano. The goal this week is to set a schedule where I'm practicing both daily.
Oh, and I tracked my meals for the second half of this week and met my calorie + protein + creatine goals for muscle gain.
If there's a list of people to tag for these threads, please add me to it! I just subscribed to the comm, didn't know this existed.
Great idea, I will start a roll call starting from next week!
Which songs are you playing on Rocksmith? Sounds cool
Knights of Cydonia by Muse, Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers, and pumped up kicks so far. I could actually perform ain't no sunshine before too long. I'm playing the "lead guitar" path.
The cool part is that it can slow down parts of the song and then automatically speed up or increase the complexity once you nail a section. Great for beginners.
