Re: What are you improving right now
-I've improved on my mental state. I used to suffer from PTSD, BPD, and depression that was pretty debilitating for a while. At one point it's manifested as night terrors and severe panic attacks which would make me pass out more often than not. After counseling and CBT, I've been able to overcome a lot of past demons and current self compared to my past self are night and day at this point.
-I've overcome my addiction to benzos, which is tied to the above point. -I'm not longer homeless either. A couple of years ago I tried starting life over in another state after burning my bridges with my family, again tied to the above points. Needless to say the attempt failed, and I was homeless for some time. Now I live in an apartment in LA while I go back to school. -I'm currently working on my self discipline and priorities to better optimize my time to work towards my current goals. I write my daily schedules ahead of time, and I make sure to complete each task everyday. Productivity is definitely more rewarding to me more than anything else at this point. -I've been reading a lot more than I used to, mainly philosophy such as the book Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. I also watch a channel on YouTube called Impact Theory, and write down notes with each interview to apply to myself as I work on rebuilding myself and moving towards long term goals. |

Re: What are you improving right now
This thread is important.
Truly this is a year of change for a lot of people. For myself I've focused a lot on my overall health: -Cut ties with people who do not belong in my life -Reconcile and re-establish connections with family -Up my calisthenics game -Eat more (I weigh 150 lbs. and want to get back to 160) -Start hitting the gym finally to bulk -Remind myself to appreciate the little things -Work efficiently and go on vacation more (Going to California for the first time in 3 weeks!) -Appreciate life with a better sense of self & personal value -Find ways to conquer depression without needing therapy/medication -Connecting more with people outside of the Internet (Haven't had Twitter for 8 months) -Enjoy casual sex more -Continue finding my purpose amidst an apparent existential crisis (I enjoy helping those appreciate the little things and motivate) Rip queen of soul ;-;

Re: What are you improving right now
My work ethic, tolerance of children, and income I suppose. I got my first job this summer.

Re: What are you improving right now
-this may come off "selfish" but I'm trying to prioritise my own time. I tend to say "yes" to everything that my calendar always has 1+ comments to do something. Whether it be catching up with friends/family/helping with parties/special days (I do a lot of baking, so people always ask me to do that), but then get mentally exhausted and drained that I forget to just have a day to do absolutely nothing
-trying to practice/learn new skills with instruments; cello, guitar, harp -read more -time management, especially since I've gone back to studying this year -appreciating 'silence', and not needing to feel awkward in 'quiet' situations Probably a million other things I can't think of right now.
