Self Improvement
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:
- 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.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

This week I tracked almost all of my meals in Cronometer. It's easy because you can make custom recipes and copy and paste entries or entire days. You can also see your weekly overview to check if your diet is missing some vitamins or minerals. It's great, I highly recommend it.
I ate around 1800kcal on average this week and ate around 78g protein. I managed to lose some weight, I'm around 74.5kg right now. Gonna continue tracking but I want to eat at maintenance so that I have enough energy to start exercising consistently again as the weather starts to improve.
Other than that, I practiced meditation on 5 days in a row and did yoga today.
Next week I want to continue meditating, tracking food and making progress![emoji solidarity solidarity](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/21cec127-9d8d-4b1b-8073-52933d3b5a33.png)
