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.

One more week left to finish January strong 
Meal prep Sunday just finished a lot of Mexican rice, beans and prepping some stuff for tofu patties. I've applied so some places last week and got a lot more walking in. Gonna strive for at least 20 minutes of walking a day, also been reading again. I got a book due on Friday I'm gonna get my one book a month in, scaling back from one a week. Got more plasma donations coming up, just to break even really but I'm passing my health screening easy now.
As
burns down I'm gonna keep my head up and not fall into despair, it's tempting really tempting to go back into my old ways but that's not who I am anymore. Those habits and that old me were just coping mechanisms that no longer help me and I will always love my past self even in that depressive rut I was in but it's time for it to rest up. I didn't say it for a while but I wish everyone the best for this year and your goals
