This week I went running on Tuesday and wanted to go again on Fri/Sat but my lower back started to hurt really bad so I couldn't go. My back is fucked up in general and I'm fairly sure that I have anterior pelvic tilt so I want to do some exercises to fix that. Next week is gonna be fairly busy so I won't be able to go running on two days but I'll try to go at least once.
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.
