Self Improvement

495 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.

It was another lazy week. I'm really not trying to do anything but not drink and at that I continue to succeed. Next week I will pirate more qualityslop.

What qualityslop are you into?

My latest search was for movies to watch while stoned but I was then picky about the results as I'm not looking for stuff along the Cheech-and-Chong-and-Seth-Rogen axis. I ended up going with Enter the Void (kinda way too intense to be on such a list but still worthwhile imo) and The Fall. Maybe stuff that was an uphill slog to get greenlit because it was so out there?

I don't get stoned these days but here are my picks for stoned movie watching:

  1. The Big Lebowski
  2. Dazed and Confused
  3. The Blues Brothers
