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.
My goal this week is small and actionable. Study for my exam and get a B or higher on said exam. Going back to school is hard and it’s deflating to take a course a second time but I’m going to make it. The specter of communism will guide me through complexities of linear algebra
Taking a course again should absolutely be a good thing, every field has a microcosm of depth and room to get better at.
Only in the timeline of 'you better be good at this now bcos get to work bozo' is taking a class again bad.
Try to reframe it in a world that makes sense not idiot world. Not to say ignore the obvious bad stuff but why let that rule your life? it doesnt help you
You’re right comrade. I do need to reframe this, this is a new opportunity to build communism by through success in this course. It’s a part of a larger path. Yeah, I rock with this. Reframing gang!
Good luck on your exam, comrade! You can do this
Have you ever tried the pomodoro method? It helped me when I was in college
