Self Improvement

237 readers
1 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.

Hi comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of February!

This is the last Sunday of the month so we can do a monthly review in addition to the weekly review.

Here are some ideas for discussion but feel free to talk about other stuff as well:

  • How was your February so far? Feel free to post your Ws or Ls.
  • Do you want to share something that you've done this week or month?
  • What would you like to accomplish or improve next week or month?

Wishing everybody a great week! unity

This week I continued tracking my meals for the third week in a row. I practiced meditation on 4 days. I went hiking today. Overall it was a good week, definitely better than last week.

I think February went well. I was mostly focused on nutrition and weight loss. I tracked my meals for 3 weeks and lost some weight.

It's gonna start getting warmer next month so I want to start focusing on exercise. I want to go running at least once per week but ideally twice. I also want to practice bodyweight exercises at least once per week. solidarity
