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).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Having a bit of a conundrum. Screen time in the first few hours of the day sets the tone for me for the rest of the day. If I scroll social media in the early AM hours, I am likely to do so the rest of the day. Easy enough habit to stop though right? Unfortunately a lot of my AM exercise is screen dependent. I use Zwift for indoor cycling, and often need to text friends for AM running. How do I get around this?
For the friends issue I'm thinking I can just lock in the night before and not worry about canceling. Zwift seems a bit more difficult.
Zwift on TV, early morning texting on a smartwatch that you put in a drawer at 9am?
