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 -
Biggest shark I've ever seen while diving was a couple of white tip reef sharks in Hawaii. One was taking a nap on the ground and another was tucked away in a cave. That's about the level of shark I'm comfortable dealing with. I've only ever been on guided dives with groups so I don't worry too much them, even if they decide to eat someone it probably won't be me.
The one thing I saw diving that gave me goosebumps wasn't a shark though. I was on a wreck dive and was passing a doorway to a cabin on one side. I shined my light in and there was a moray eel just sitting on the ground staring up at me out of the dark. It was one of the coolest and creepiest things I've ever seen.
