Self Improvement
285 readers

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.

Not much has changed for me in the two weeks since I've posted here. My stomach issues are gone and I am completely clueless on what the cause was. My assumption was a stomach bug of some kind.
I have maintained my sobriety streak and am closing in on 5 months now. I've recently gotten the urge to drink or smoke again, which is more of an urge than normal, and it's likely due to being bored as shit at work right now.
I'm starting up a second DND group/campaign in the near future which is exciting. Although I'm cursed to forever DM, and thus never get to actually play what I want, it's still fun to have the creativity juices flowing in my brain. My silly voices and accents have gotten much better now that I'm forcing myself to do them all the time.
