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.

i didnt sleep very much this week and ive been taking it kind of easy lately.
im frustrated by my left foots slowness, learning ankle technique is like riding a bike, you never forget once you learn. however, its much harder to learn.
my rebound strokes are coming along nicely, i did doubles, triples, i'm almost done with quads, started with fives and have sixes to go. the end product will open my hands up and make a better press roll but i'm seeing a lot of benefits from taking the time to work on it.
i'm spending about 15-20 minutes a day just working on playing my quarter note perfect at 50 bpm with the benny greb app. i found some insight with playing other subdivisons and im much more accurate with them but the space between notes in quarter notes is pretty difficult to keep clean.
ive been kind of depressed lately, im frustrated that i feel like an outsider wherever i go, i don't belong anywhere. im upset about my parents being dumb. i feel like everything's pointless.
Sorry to hear about that. But I can relate to everything you said. The vibes in the world are definitely garbage right now. But you belong on Hexbear. And everywhere else where good people are trying to build a good world
