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 -
Modi is pro-Hinduism and NOT pro-Islam or Christianity. I'm given to understand that in practice he's much more Islamophobic than anti-Christian due to eminently practical conditions on the ground related reasons. He's relatively more socially conservative than his main opponents, the Indian National Congress, which were the dominant party running India as a dictatorship under socialism and are still controlled by the same family- the Gandhi family(no relation to Mahatma). The INC is, as might be implied from their history, quite a bit less committed to democracy and democratic norms despite being the relatively socially liberal opposition party. I think the BJP is generally a bit more willing to bite bullets on necessary economic reforms, but that might be specific to Modi.
