Hi comrades and welcome to the second weekly improvement megathread!

I am glad to see that there was a lot of engagement in the first megathread and that people were checking in throughout the week.

Same as the last week, here are some ideas for discussion:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too 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?

Good luck to everybody with your goals! unity

    Last week I practiced meditation on 5 days in a row. I did a bit of reading and touched grass with a friend. I think it was a good week in terms of making progress.

    Next week the weather will be a bit warmer here so I would like to go running on at least one day. I also want to go hiking with a friend on the weekend.

        Thank you comrade. I definitely noticed a huge difference with meditation, especially at the beginning when I first started it. Meditating is by far one of the best habits you can learn, it is essentially a superpower.

        It's also great in terms of bang for your buck, since you can get great benefits with just 10 minutes per day.

        These days there are a lot of free meditation apps so it's easy to learn as well. Just install one of the apps (I use Insight Timer) and play some guided meditations. Here is one of my favourites.
