Hi comrades and welcome to the fourth weekly improvement megathread!

This is the last Sunday of the month so we can do a monthly review in addition to the weekly review.

Here are some ideas for discussion but feel free to talk about other stuff as well:

  • How was your January?
  • Do you want to share something that you've done this week or month?
  • Do you have some plans or goals for February?
  • What would you like to accomplish or improve next week or month?

I'm wishing everybody good luck in February! unity

Been having a rough January because I'm living with my GF and her family, but I'm unemployed and can't really contribute, which makes me feel shitty.

I'm doing my PhD, but job hunting has not got me anywhere for the past 7 months, and my savings are pretty much exhausted.

This has made it very difficult to maintain good habits and has led to binge drinking to switch my brain off

Self Improvement

285 readers
1 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:

  1. 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.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
