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 -
I've actually been to the rest of New England more than I've been to Boston. It's a town I should like more than I do, for obscure reasons. That said:
-- Go to Fenway. Even if you don't like baseball, it's a thing all Americans should do. I hate the Red Sox, but it's history. If you can get to a weeknight game against a weak opponent on vacation, it'll be like $30 or less a ticket to get in the door.
-- The freedom trail is fun, depending on weather
-- I love the museums located at all the universities. Particularly Harvard has a huge collection of anything you want to see, which gets a lot less traffic than you'd think, mostly bored Asian families pretending to care.
