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).

Notes -
2006 Camry that I love, my daily driver that I hope to run until it dies. Was garage kept when I got it at low mileage (80k! Still has under 100 because I don’t drive that often) but mine lives outside now. Wash it with the near ubiquitous car washes where I live, about every 2 months. Kind of have to, because it’s deserty and the rain leaves basically dirt deposits, which is annoying and looks terrible after a while, plus the classic bird poop. Hate doing so because feels a bit like wasted money. A sizable minority of people around here actually pay for car wash subscriptions! That lets you go through basically where ever you want, at chain locations all over. When I first got it I was very gung ho about washing and waxing it myself… never happened.
