Self Improvement
291 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.

Cleaning my rain gutters before rainy season really kicks off, it's kind of a pain in the ass but getting a bunch of gunk out of there at once is oddly satisfying
sobriety/alcoholism
Maintained sober streak, think I've got 3+ months now? That's not really that long in the big picture but it's like a quarter of a year and idk the last time I was dry that long and mentally I feel like it's gonna stick this time
Still haven't handled my finances or renovated my bedroom like I've wanted to for awhile but I think I settled on a new amp head and a
PC as my treaty-treats for using my booze money getting sober, there's a really affordable lunch box tube head that's perfect for my needs and budget and I only need mid hardware to run the games I want to check out
diet/exercise
Stepped on a scale for the first time in awhile and was likeSet a goal weight and have been better about eating healthier and portion control
My legs have been really achy and my knees hurt and the ankle I rolled is still bugging me but I've been more active overall
Want to update my boosters and get a flu shot and workout clothes that fit better then get back to a gym and lift eventually
I yearn for a good leg day but my health is kinda
Congrats on the streak!
For reaching your goal weight, I recommend cronometer.com. It's super easy to track your nutrition because you can easily copy and paste individual items or entire days. It also shows all the macro and micronutrients.
Btw what games do you want to check out? I got a gamer PC relatively recently so I also started checking out a bunch of games that I couldn't run before.
Thanks! Will check that out.
I'm a big Halo dork and was a console kid and never had a good PC and I wanna get the MCC for the mods and Infinite. Depending on what kinda PC build looks good for the price I can find, maybe something that can run Helldivers 2. Also always kinda wanted to check out Apex Legends since Titanfall is neat but idk if I fuck with battle royales
