Hi comrades, welcome to the Improvement Megathread! unity

I plan to post a new weekly megathread here every Sunday. I think Sunday is a good day to review the previous week and make some plans for the following week. If somebody else wants to post a new megathread anytime, just let me know.

Here are some ideas for discussion:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week?

Even if you did only 1 push-up, read 1 page, meditated for 1 minute, or touched 1 blade of grass, let us know about it. When it comes to making progress, everything counts. The most important thing is to make progress, no matter how small.

  • What would you like to do next week?
  • What aspect of life would you like to improve?
  • 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?

Of course, this is not a definitive list. And feel free to make a separate post in the comm for any of these topics. This is just a megathread for all the stuff that you want to share but don't feel like making a new post.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

    I did some weeding in the garden and planted a wildflower mix :)

    I keep trying to cut back on cannabis and am semi successful getting down to smoking about half as much. I've been trying to give my brain other addictions. During the day i'll go touch sunlight and pull weeds, in the evening i try to get into a really absorbing game.

    I've also been making an effort to be active each day and it's worked out. I'd like to get more aerobic exercise in, but winter feels like the worst time to start that. It's cold in my house, it's cold outside, it's so cold i don't even want to get undressed to shower. And i want to use my kettlebells but i'd need to shut myself in a room without the cats so i feel a little bad about doing that lol. I just need to figure where to fit into my routine and how often and start doing it. For now, doing walking/dancing/yoga is fine. I don't want to change my routine too much at once in case it won't stick. So i'm just trying to add gardening to my daily routine until it feels normal, then i will replace the yoga step with a more intense exercise (hopefully)
