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'm not very person shaped but I think I'm doing okay. I'm learning a language, just need to stick with it. My issue is always that I get bored with new things after a while.
I'm mostly just sitting on the couch scrolling on my phone, watching videos and smoking weed lately. It's not an ideal life. I think I need to go out more, but going out is expensive. Maybe I should make a habit of getting a coffee and people watching every now and again. Coffee isn't too expensive. But winter is wintery and I am cold.
I don't even enjoy weed much, but it helps with my chronic pain. Anti-chronic pain chronic.

谢谢 for reading.

Oh also I broke my sober streak, but in my defence I didn't over do it. I'm still going on three months without being drunk, or less than a month without a drink. Not going to fall for the "maybe I can just moderate myself this time for realsies" trap.
No use beating myself up over it though.
