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.

I've maintained my streak on not drinking, I'm up to ~3 weeks. Even longer since I've smoked weed. This may be TMI but I've noticed my hog being way more active, stronger, and full of stamina so that's a huge incentive to keep going. I'm curious to see how my face continues to change. I've already noticed my face getting more angular? Less puffy in general. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on how I look recently and that's obviously an ego boost.
My mouth is almost fully healed from oral surgery so I'm just about ready to start running again. I'm still having a little pain though so I'm not gonna push it until I know I'm good to go. I did do a ton of yardwork at my mom's place though and I'm happy with how strong I feel again. I cleaned the gutters and was kind of surprised at how easily I was able to hoist the ladder around.
The DND campaign I started is going really well and everyone is having a good time even though I'm kinda just winging it week to week. It's all of our first times so we're still getting used to actually playing.
My only goals are to keep on keeping on.
Congratulations on your streak, keep it going!
