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 
Congrats on your sobriety!
We have some comrades here who are on the same journey. I post the megathread every Sunday so keep us updated!
This guy who does a podcast with Rev Left Radio has great videos on sobriety.
My best life hack for a vegetarian diet is meal prep bean burritos. It takes me a few hours to make around 16 burritos and I put them in the freezer. It's amazing that you can prepare a healthy and delicious dinner for 2 weeks with just a few hours of cooking. You don't even have to cook anything, you can just buy the tortillas, beans and sauce and combine them. I also put peppers, onions, corn, chickpeas, lentils and a bunch of spices.
Hell yeah, thanks comrade! Oh, that's awesome, I love RevLeft but never have listened to ShoelessinSouthDakota but was just thinking the other day I should be.
Sweet, that is a great idea and I already have most of those ingredients. I also like making black bean burgers which are easy peasy. Thanks for the tip!
Yeah, I'll definitely be around in the community, I'm deadset on staying sober and working on myself in general this time around ;)
