Wellness Wednesday for September 3, 2025

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).

New thread for a different topic unrelated to chairs. I just got a new apartment and the ventilation in here really sucks. Like it is super stuffy.

I've already bought an air purifier, and my air c02 monitor is on the way.

I've already asked the apartment landlords to come in to clean out the vents, because i think that's a big part of the problem. But I would love to get some thoughts here from people who faced this problem in the past.

This is my throwaway comment that isn't an answer to your question, sorry.

I bought an air purifier and an air quality monitor for my house. So much insight! It makes me constantly worry about the air quality in rooms that aren't in my house now.

In the future we'll look back on this time in history and think it's insane that people used to walk into rooms and breathe even though they had no idea what was in the air.
