Weekly Improvement Thread - Sep 1st

Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of September!

As usual, some discussion ideas:

How was your August?
Do you have any plans or goals for September?

Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
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?

Poster caption: “The plans of the party - my plans!”

Wishing you a great September!

I can’t remember much about last week. I’ve been mildly sick for most of it and just generally haven’t done much which is unfortunately reasonable. I hate being sick, I hate feeling stuck at home. Feeling of slowly creeping impending doom.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !self_improvement@hexbear.net

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.
