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 -
Oh that’s fine. I don’t mind it at all. That’s very interesting.
I remember as a teen once during a family gathering, a ton of us were going to sleep in the living room, so close it was nearly shoulder to shoulder from one end to the other; and all over the furniture. We went to sleep to prepare to all go to the ocean the next morning and I remember closing my eyes, blinking only one time (less than a second), and in the next moment, it was morning; light was shining through the blinds and we were beginning to get up. All I remember was looking around confused, wondering where all the time went. But I never said anything to anyone until several years later.
First and only time I had an experience like that, but maybe it’s a psychological hiccup of the underlying sleeping condition.
