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).

Notes -
One note on the photochromic lens suggestion: do not try to use these as your only pair of glasses (like I did). If you're in a situation where you need to be in photos outside, they will darken (which may or may not be an issue for the specific photo, I suppose). Blue light filter will also show up in photos (your glasses will have a blue tint to them). I wound up getting a new pair of plain clear lenses for my wedding just so that I would look normal in the wedding photos.
They also don't work in the car, which is one of my big use cases for sunglasses. It's a bummer.
