I tried to restart running + lifting weights a week ago and I went way too hard. I was sore for 6 days. I tried to take it very easy today, not going to failure and 2 sets instead of 3. Also a much shorter run because my legs were shot last week!

I also made a point of stretching after the workout in the places that got super sore last week.

Hopefully that means I'll be ready to go again by Wednesday! Or that I can do a light leg day tomorrow + maybe abs.

I also wrote two songs last week, I'd like to continue or increase that pace.

This week was kind of a wash, no therapy sessions since I didn't feel like it, then my dad got sick so I didn't walk at all and ate my feelings. Oh well, hopefully next week when he's back home I can get back in the swing of things.

Self Improvement

507 readers
21 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.
