Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of June!
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- Do you have any plans or goals for next week?
- 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 with your goals!
my running and body weight workouts are going well and I’m back to liking how I look in shorts and crops
and I’m gonna continue it this time
this week i got back into meditation and running and it really helped. i think i was hitting autistic burnout cuz i got super overstimulated easily and just couldn’t bring myself to do anything but after reading ismatu’s article https://ismatu.substack.com/p/girl-go-to-sleep-ft-lessons-from i finally allowed? myself to actually get some rest and dear god did it help.
There’s a great guided meditation for when you want to allow yourself to get some rest: Time To Unwind
I’m not very person shaped but I think I’m doing okay. I’m learning a language, just need to stick with it. My issue is always that I get bored with new things after a while.
I’m mostly just sitting on the couch scrolling on my phone, watching videos and smoking weed lately. It’s not an ideal life. I think I need to go out more, but going out is expensive. Maybe I should make a habit of getting a coffee and people watching every now and again. Coffee isn’t too expensive. But winter is wintery and I am cold.
I don’t even enjoy weed much, but it helps with my chronic pain. Anti-chronic pain chronic.
早上很冷
我太冷了
谢谢 for reading.
拜拜
Oh also I broke my sober streak, but in my defence I didn’t over do it. I’m still going on three months without being drunk, or less than a month without a drink. Not going to fall for the “maybe I can just moderate myself this time for realsies” trap.
No use beating myself up over it though.
This week I did healthy stuff (walking to places instead of lazy alternatives), social stuff (going to social gatherings without a friend for support), productive stuff (organising an event and contacting people to ask for help to improve my work environment) and resty stuff (sleeping early on some days).
Also slept through some days and honestly most nights I did not go to sleep early at all but overall I’m still proud of myself.
This week my energy was low and I was tired so my goal for next week is to resume tracking my nutrition. I want to make sure that I get enough calories every day so that I have enough energy to exercise and go running.
My secondary goal is to continue socializing and touching grass with friends. I went to the movies to see Furiosa with a friend this week and that was cool
