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.

I got less than a month to keep leveling up on the drums. I have a organ trio gig on Saturday with two? friends which should be fun.
I also have a lesson that day with my teacher. I do a lesson a month because it's enough material to master and experiment with and I got other things going on. I'm still in the shed 3 hours a day and listening to records deeply for an hour.
I feel like I'm really hitting my stride, rapid improvement. I need to keep learning repertoire though, the more melodies you know deeply the better your playing and soloing. My ear is good enough to catch melodies, I know a lot of songs but I really needed to get disciplined to dig deeper.
I'm three pounds away from my weight loss goal. I'm not overweight by any means, I just don't think I look my best at my previous weight.
