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.

The month has just begun so there is still time to set some goals or plans for the month.
Graduation from my training is coming up this week, already got my hands on knowledge for AC systems, got my EPA 608 universal and now spending my time studying for the NATE cert. Thinking might give it a week or less idk before I apply to some places if that fails then a union.
Still studying this extra thing is real difficult so I kinda get why it's the difference of earning 15+ more dollars an hour. I guess my best strength so far is getting used to failure and not knowing things, means I gotts keep trying and keep studying. I wanna be employed not just as a regular HVAC tech but an elite one so I guess that will be my goal after I get a job. It took me a 1 month to study and get my EPA 608 universal so anytime frame of 3 maybe 6 months is my ambitious goal I'll set. I will not get fired again after a week
and I'll make everyone proud
