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.

Been slacking just a bit for the past few weeks. My dad's health has been up and down and my mom is recovering from surgery. So I've a lot more to do at home, which I guess has help with staying relatively in shape since some of it involves lifting heavy stuff. I also have weights at home so I worked out with them on a semi-regular basis.
I think the best thing that I can say has happened in the past week, and over the past month of May, is just getting closer to my crush again. We're both a bit flakey (sounds bad, but don't know how else to describe it lol) so we've kind of been all over the place in so far as how we act around each other, but we're back to hugging just about every day.
I'm hoping to get back on track with my workouts. I'm taking PTO and I'm using it to get back in the swing of things. So far so good. Yesterday went on a run. Kind of surprised that I haven't really lost much there with how I hadn't been running for the past month. I'd even say it was my best run to date. Today went on another run and then to the gym. Again, felt good. So I hope to keep it up with at least a daily run and maybe the gym every other day. Just feels like its tough with how my schedule is structured at the moment.
So goals/priorities for June. Mainly just getting in the habit of working out. Also trying to hang out with friends/family more since the weather is nice.
