Hello comrades and welcome to the second improvement megathread of May! Today is Mother's day, don't forget to call your mom.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals!

Dry May so far. I'm keeping my other plans modest until I'm really used to it. Sudoku and Fallout now, theory and weights later.

Congratulations on the progress so far! rat-salute-2

I bet you can do the whole month, keep us updated on your progress. Are you playing or watching Fallout?

[-] ped_xing@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks. I'm watching. I got Fallout 4 years ago but got to a really early dying-over-and-over again rut (maybe the first boss?) without enough commitment to the game to make it through, and now I hear they're regularly fucking it up so I'm not tempted to start it again.

I haven't watched the show yet but I heard it's good so I will definitely check it out. Fallout 4 is solid, especially with mods. But New Vegas is one of the best games of all time, I recommend it if you haven't played it yet.

Self Improvement

259 readers
2 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.
