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.
Ordered cute lights to make my room comfy and incentivize myself to tidy up and redecorate
Making an appointment at the bank to move my meager savings into a less unethical mutual fund and am thinking of treating myself to a new amp and/or a new PC
Need to repair my shitty car and not looking forward to making my achy ass crawl under it in the driveway
Have a job opportunity that I might be able to get that's kinda good, I don't think I'd enjoy the job itself that much but the starting wage is decent and the location is convenient and it has health insurance which is huge for me
Need to get new clothes but I want to slim down first idk
Have a goal weight and diet/fitness plan in mind but I have an ankle sprain and jammed thumb that are bugging me and keeping me from running or lifting for a bit
Update: repaired my shitty car for the time being and it went better than I was expecting
