My May was dogshit arm-R but I still tried to keep up my habits like meditation, cycling and reading. Don't have big plans for June, I'm just gonna survive and maintain my existing habits.

Finished up eating some yogurt, going to go for my walk. Still trying to eat better, but I had some setbacks eating pasta, I did make tacos so I hit my protein goal this week.

May was another struggle month. It feels like I have less time to take care of myself vs last year when I can easily say I was at my best in a long time.

This week was OK in so far as continuing to rebuild my habits from last year. Did a bit of weightlifting two days in a row. Nothing too out there, just 5-10 minutes each time. Want to just keep building from there.

Self Improvement

507 readers
8 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:

  1. 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.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
