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 -
Yeah, I mean given my history it makes sense that I struggle with managing the lifestyle factors properly. I am eating right but I could do better with everything else, and mindset/stress level. I am going to add whey. I disagree that everyone would already be doing it. Most people don't think outside the box. I know because, despite really wanting to get better at this, I'm not even taking my own advice! "it's too hard!" / procrastination / laziness. Humans are lazy. I know from firsthand experience. I could be meditating everyday, I could be trying to push protein even higher, I could be being in nature more, taking royal jelly consistently, etc. Whether or not this stuff works, I'm not even doing it consistently. It's a lot to keep track of for most people. And, most people don't have a history of being starved and possibly retarding their skeletal maturation as a result. I'm not saying I have the skeletal age of a teenager, but at 23/24 I might have the skeletal age of, say, a 20 year old. Which might make a difference. Most people who want to get taller just take HGH anyway, or they don't take anything at all and accept it. And most people don't care about making their bones radically thicker. Hence if they can't get taller, they give up. I'm not going to give up if I can't get taller.
