Wellness Wednesday for November 16, 2022

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

If not, I usually enjoy it in cocoa, 50 ml of rum in a frozen beer stein of cold dark cocoa.

Never heard this one, but sounds pretty good.

It's a long drink named after a dead commie, which kind of feels appropriate.

Funny how genetic tastes are. Not only I came up with the drink independently, I also found that amaretto also goes very well with it.

Recently I've been putting in some egg nog and that also works.

The only hard part of making it is mixing up cold milk with cocoa if you're using artificial sweeteners like I do. (have to get teeth fixed, too lazy to call the dentist as I eat basically nothing sweet).
