I managed to cut down on cookies and icecream this week quite a bit but I still want some on most nights. I've been sick on and off so I haven't been doing as much as I want to, but I feel a bit better at the moment.
The weather has instantly gotten very hot and humid again so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with running, however I've been consistently walking
Goal for the next week: go for a walk outside of at least one hour duration on non-workout days. Good for the mental health, good for the physical health.
Meditate: do I want to do this? I haven't committed to the idea. A simple 10 minute session in the morning is easy enough.
Getting back on the wagon of taking Chinese language lessons might also be a nice thing for the coming week. It just feels so bad coming back and completely sucking ass for a few sessions.
Meditation is a superpower, you can unironically have a big brain if you do it

It was kinda not a great week, still having some annoying health issues. It do be like that sometimes.
I managed to practice meditation on 4 days and keep up with my other healthy habits. No big goals for next week, just trying to chill and recover.
I've maintained my streak on not drinking, I'm up to ~3 weeks. Even longer since I've smoked weed. This may be TMI but I've noticed my hog being way more active, stronger, and full of stamina so that's a huge incentive to keep going. I'm curious to see how my face continues to change. I've already noticed my face getting more angular? Less puffy in general. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on how I look recently and that's obviously an ego boost.
My mouth is almost fully healed from oral surgery so I'm just about ready to start running again. I'm still having a little pain though so I'm not gonna push it until I know I'm good to go. I did do a ton of yardwork at my mom's place though and I'm happy with how strong I feel again. I cleaned the gutters and was kind of surprised at how easily I was able to hoist the ladder around.
The DND campaign I started is going really well and everyone is having a good time even though I'm kinda just winging it week to week. It's all of our first times so we're still getting used to actually playing.
My only goals are to keep on keeping on.
Congratulations on your streak, keep it going!
Had a good week after struggling to maintain a streak of good weeks. Very optimistic going forward, I just need to maintain discipline and forward momentum.
Hell yeah, that sounds like a good week!
Yoga classes are great, I was going regularly at one point. A lot of yoga studios occasionally have free classes that are open for everyone. Check the website of your local studio, they usually have calendars and schedules.
What's your favourite indie game? What are you reading?
What's your favourite indie game?
Cave Story for sure. The fact the original game was made by just one dude over the course of a long time and released online for free is kind of my vision for my project. I just want to make sometime special and get it out there.
What are you reading?
Right now I'm on a classic sci-fi binge. Reading "War of The Worlds", it's surprisingly short and easy.

I haven't read it yet but it's on my list. For classic sci-fi I recommend Roadside Picnic, it's the book that the movie Stalker is based on

I got that one loaded in the hopper now! Thanks for the recommendation.
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.
