-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.

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)

My work ethic, tolerance of children, and income I suppose. I got my first job this summer.

-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.
