Pinned, good luck.
My March was kinda not great, I continued taking the L due to health issues. But I still tried my best and made a bit of progress. I did a lot of reading this month, I was reading almost every day.
In April I want to be more physically active, go walking and running, do some core/back exercises, stretching, microexercises and so on. I also want to touch grass because the weather should be good
I like your april goals might steal them need me some microexercises since I'm aware how little things add up.
Microexercises are awesome because they take very little effort so you can knock out a lot of them in a day. Write down how many you did and you will be surprised at how much exercise you did by the end of the week. Especially if your goal is weight loss, increasing your movement throughout the day can quickly add up
Gonna go from being neet to doing more neat calories burning
Back to college this week, and I'm doing okay. More and more I feel like I'm getting a bit of my spice for life back
March was a mixed bag.
Back on the gym grind and I've been able to stick to my routine a lot better now that my work schedule has normalized. Feeling great and lost a few extra pounds so im starting to get more confident in my looks as well.
Work has been just a bit more stressful this year and March didn't really improve things much. Still working out how to be a better lead/manager in so far as critiquing work and following up on that.
Spoke to a couple of old friends the past couple weeks which was cool. But also just feels like im still so distant from people and I want to work on those relationships.
I benched 220 and this whole week is going to be all about making sure everything goes right that I'm joining the 225 club by the end of this week. My plans for April are to finally begin my cut and drop some weight and maybe see abs for the first time in my life. I don't know, maybe I'll find a good sport to get into or something.
Along the way, I want to fix these two things about me: I want a job where I can finally GTFO Ohio. In the mean time, I want to better research what kind of stuff I might like and be good at and then try to go for a master's in that. Work is only going to become more and more of a rare treasure and I'd like to be prepared and also have a job I like.
What can I do to help me better understand what I might like? For people here, was your major/job love at first sight or did you really have to put in a lot of effort to like it?
Been sick as a dog all week but still fitting in some exercise. Haven’t read nearly as much as I wanted to this month, and I was hoping to be fully employed by the end of the month, but I suppose those are now my April goals lol. Overall it’s been a good month; I exceeded my weight gain goals, sent hundreds more job applications, wrote some programs, and didn’t miss a day of language learning. To put some more concrete goals down for April: I want to journal daily, keep up the language and exercise rigor, check some books off my reading list, and find full time work.
I crushed it last week in the gym but still no job. This friday plan on taking my forklift certification test and getting that on my resume. I also got some longer term plans for some training I wanna try when open in june and an even longer goal plan in trying to apply for a localish union to learn heavy machine operations as an apprentice. Been looking over everything I need for that and I decided that's what I wanna do mean time local forklift jobs best be ready for me once I pass that is.
A few days early, but since it's the weekly thread time I'll claim my 4th month nicotine free. I've now not had any smokes for the longest stretch since I started smoking in high school. Not much else is going great, but despite some very shitty and stressful circumstances this month I have stayed clean.
Hell yeah, keep it up and keep us updated
huzzah we are refederated, hello again my hexbearian comrades.
i've been getting better at exercising and eating which has actually improved my sleep! bought some lemon balm tea so hopefully that should help as well!
Sleep Foundation has a lot of good advice for sleep. My life hack is to sprinkle a few drops of lavender essential oil on a tissue or pillowcase before sleep, it's relaxing and helps you fall asleep easier
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.
