Looking back on how I’ve always wanted the body I have now because I was certain that it would get me something is so fucking foolish in retrospect lmao I’m very blessed to have managed to kill that part of me at 17. Terrifying how it still persists in other grown ass people though. It should have always been for my own self.

Point being (and I hope to apply this to other aspects of life as well) is that all that changed is that I found routine that worked (which is the push I needed to get my shit together). Your mileage may vary with this approach to completing tasks, but it’s genuinely been unbelievable for me in terms of results. Admittedly there’s a lot of privilege that comes with this, but if you’re able to get to a point where you can do something at the same time everyday? Sky’s the limit

Self Improvement

333 readers
1 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.
