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.

Can you start your own gig teaching children some useful skill in regards to your education? Business administration and distilling your expertise into a curriculum stands to be a lot of brainpower. Like if you had a room where children had to build bridges with popsicle sticks or something similarly hands on learning beyond what the curriculum normally affords them then you have a nice value proposition.
I was at a party for my friend and I was holding pads for him so that he could punch and kick. The kids wanted to join in so I showed them some combos they could throw. Then they got to fight me for a little bit. The parents were all impressed and said that if they could give their kids to me and they come back exhausted a few hours later then it's an awesome business. I feel squeamish about kids because they yearn to hurt themselves, are very emotional, and the idea that they can be exploited makes me want to stay uninvolved.
But setting sail with a friend to do marketing, sales, business admin, organizing, creating a product, finding a space, building out a space, managing a space, and communicating with clients is stimulating work. If you can distill what you learned in school such that it would be valuable to a child then you might have something to contribute.
