Self Improvement

248 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.

Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of September! bonfire

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • How was your August?
  • Do you have any plans or goals for September?

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Wishing you a great September! solidarity

My first week back to school was fully successful.

My workouts are starting to get easier which means I'm making progress but I also need to switch it up soon. I'm going to start running more rather than walking. I hate how my body juggles up and down in space but I gotta get over that shit or Communism will never happen.

I'm reading some good fiction. Currently enjoying the cyberpunk classic "Snow Crash". Never read it but pretty much everything i like has ripped something from it, and it's good to see the thing that all the things you like stole from.

Reading more comics. Still doing my Hellboy and BPRD but I just started reading Saga and it rules.

Working on my indie game projects. Working in C++ and also working with Godot. I'm just trying to learn as much as possible and I think I'm going to make some great someday.

Looking for a new job, this MEGACORP is sinking fast and I need to jump ship.

All is well and I'm genuinely and sincerely happy with the progress I have made, I am making, and I truly think we are all gonna make it.
