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.
No email address required.
Notes -
Anything you do is part of you in that "not doing x" isn't part of you.
I did drag for a Halloween costume once. I wouldn't say that makes me a drag queen or a cross dresser.
But it does mean I'm not the kind of guy who would never do that. Such a person exists, a guy who would never put on a skirt and makeup, and we are different.
In the same way, voting for Trump "that time" doesn't define your whole personality. But it does mean you aren't a person who would never vote for Trump, which is a piece of information about you.
We are in agreement.
Come on dude, I expect better from you.
Sorry to disappoint. Mine was not an attempt at comeback, simply a suspicion that we actually do agree in the essentials and that any point of argument isn't really worth the candle for either of us.
