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 -
We're so back The accelerator program is coming to a close. I feel really confident about the startup raising money and succeeding. We work in a medical space, and so far we've saved two people's lives. Even after dividing credit a few ways, I think that outweighs all my petty sins so far. I feel like I showed up to San Fransisco as a level 5 guy in a level 40 dungeon. Every day was harder than it should have been, but the end result was leveling up stupid fast. I've grown up in good ways, and am a lot better at my job and responsibility in general. We're all gonna make it motte bros.
It's so over Holy shit I am so burnt out. All I've been doing is some form of work for the past few months. I have basically no social contact outside my business partners, and they just want to work 24/7. The personal confidence and feelings of being OK I got from the gym has evaporated as my attendance and diet have fallen apart. I'm losing weight and feeling vaguely sick all the time. I had a goal to at least get through all this without using stimulants, but I cracked the first time someone offered them to me while I was dealing with outtages. I just want this to be over and go home.
Congrats!
Eat more though! And don't skimp on recovery time once this stretch is done!
