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.

Hello fellow SigmaAlphaBeta Grindset Self Help Reading Mindful Capitalism Cuckolds. I have been out of town for some music shit. Some good things came out of it that I can't say here but I can say i went to the gym and ran two miles for the first time in a long time. I did practice everyday but it wasnt always the best practice.
Not trying to practice today because I wanna play the new Yakuza game.
Forearm technique:
[v] Tap Stroke 70 BPM. I finished full strokes for now, tap strokes are basically baby full strokes so I don't think I'll be spending much time here. 10mins.
[v] Rebound stroke LH 16th@100BPM. Drop forearm, let stick hit surface, pickup forearm, get free rebound stroke. I'll be working on double stroke after this. 10mins.
