Self Improvement

433 readers
4 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.

Hello comrades and welcome to the second improvement megathread of July! bonfire It's gonna be the middle of the month soon, it's a good time to review our progress and remind ourselves of the goals for this month.


Some discussion ideas:

  • How was your week?
  • Do you have some plans for next week?
  • Do you have any sober days or streaks?

Poster caption: "Learn, like Lenin!"

poster loreThe book held by the boy, “Childhood and School Years of [Vladimir] Il’ich’ [Lenin]", was written by Anna Il’ich’ Ul’ianova-Elizarova the eldest Ul’ianov sibling born to Il’ia Ul’ianov and Mariia Blank who were also Vladimir Lenin's parents. The statue depicts young Valdimir Lenin and the stamp in the book reads “For outstanding attendance and exemplary conduct”.

Yesterday I meal prepped 15 vegan burritos, now I have healthy dinner for the next 2 weeks in my freezer. I've been doing this for the past few months and it's an insane life hack. Highly recommended greensicko
