Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of June!
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- Do you have any plans or goals for next week?
- Do you have any streaks? For example, “sober for one day.” Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don’t have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals!
I’ve been going on daily morning walks and it’s been really nice! Today marks my 18th consecutive day. One thing I’ve been really proud of is the two or three days where I missed the morning walk for whatever reason, but I mustered up the energy to do it later (e.g. yesterday I finally went for a walk at 9 PM). I’m not gonna pretend it’s completely changed my life or anything, but it’s nice to be able to have at least one thing I can point to every day that I’m doing to take care of myself. Starting the day with some fresh air and light exercise has made me feel a little less gloomy and given me a bit more energy to tackle my responsibilities.
As far as goals, I’ve been having trouble motivating myself to practice piano consistently, so I want to get back to playing at least 30 minutes a day.
Going on 2 daily walks because of my dog has unironically been one of the things that has been the most beneficial to my mental health. Walks are super underrated imo
