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.

Another week of no youtube, back in my usual routine. Spending more time looking at my phone than I'd like, rather than the positive substitutions I'd planned for myself. A couple of times there's been a video I've wanted to watch but at this point I think I still need to keep it more or less cold turkey.

I simplified my workout plan thanks to the kettlebell book referenced in the fitness channel sidebar. I need a bigger bell for these movements to make sense, but it still makes me sweat, so good enough for now. I have been getting into the shop the last couple of days, so I got to skip the workout. Feels good to push a plane usefully rather than swing a chunk of iron around.

This week I'm leaving town for a wedding, but next week I intend to buy a bigger kettlebell.
