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 -
For anyone who has low back problems and sits a lot, I cannot recommend this Pipersong Meditation Chair enough. My partner bought one on a whim and I tried it not expecting much, but damn it is a game changer.
It basically lets you sit cross legged at your desk, and for me at least makes it far easier to relax my lower back. I immediately bought another after I had sat in it for a couple of hours.
Oh, I think I would love this. I have a really hard time sitting normally in a chair and always have at least one leg tucked under me. Think I might spend my "home office stipend" on it.
