Self Improvement
291 readers
3 users here now
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.

This week was pretty good. While not fully back on the wagon I was pretty limited with my drinking. No more starting at 7am and continuing on all day. I didn't drink at all a few days and then only drank in social settings in the times I did drink.
I helped a friend of mine film a movie. The process was really interesting to see in person. I would love to do more stuff like that since interacting with so many new people was really good for my brain.
I also started lifting again this week. My legs are currently jello from squatting. On top of being bigger and stronger in a general sense, one of my goals is to have a thick, dump truck of an ass just to frustrate the various hetero women and gay men in my life. This is endlessly funny to me
