Wellness Wednesday for January 15, 2025

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).

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.
