It would be cool if we had a self-improvement comm.

As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues. However, I think that there is still a lot that can be done on the individual level to improve your life.

Most online self-improvement spaces have a reactionary slant and are dominated by the same type of guy, which is another great reason to have a self-improvement comm on this website.

EDIT: our awesome admins created the new comm and our awesome comrade @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net stepped up to moderate it, please check it out and start posting: https://hexbear.net/c/self_improvement

Are there any improovers here? What would you like to improve in 2024? Would you like to have a comm where we can hang out? solidarity

    I would like to improove. Gonna brainstorm some stuff

    If a comm does not get approved, maybe a weekly mega on /c/chat or something?

      Hell yeah, is there something specific you would like to improve? I hope we can get a comm but a weekly/monthly megathread is a great plan B

        I think my main goals are trying to get consistent with exercise and crack down on my sugar addiction.

          I just remembered that there is a subreddit called https://www.reddit.com/r/sugarfree/

          As we all know, reddit is trash but the niche subs like this can sometimes have a lot of useful info

            Oh awesome, thanks!

            I do miss when reddit was focused on making those types of subs as there were some really great guides and info posts people put together that are sadly aging.

          Those are good ass goals, I wish you the best of luck!

          I would also like to exercise consistently, more specifically go running at least once per week and do a bodyweight exercise routine at least once per week.

            Thanks, same to you!

            In case you need a base to work off of, the Couch To 5k program for running is free and pretty reasonable for beginners

              Thanks for the advice! I agree about C5k, it's a good program and that's how I started running. I'm still using it as a base when going for a run.
