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 -
Cheap medium roast, small cold brew filter pitcher in the fridge to last me a week or two, to be poured with some milk and usually chocolate syrup over ice. I only drink a little coffee and I only drink it when I'm tired enough to need a quick wakeup, so trying to brew it each time is both inefficient and a catch-22.
Either:
Peaty Scotch. I still fondly miss the top-rated Laphroaig Cairdeas year I was gifted once. I know that objectively a peaty whisky tastes like someone poured gasoline in a swamp and urinated in the gasoline and set the gasoline on fire, yet somehow that tastes really good to me, and I haven't yet stopped being fascinated at trying to figure out why. I don't like fancy brandies/tequilas/vodkas/rums nearly as much, I don't like most beer at all, yet I really love burnt swamp piss. Trouble is that I can actually taste price differences here but so can my wallet. Fortunately just a little of this stuff goes a long ways, and I can settle for a good Irish whiskey like Black Bush without feeling quite as much like I'm literally pissing away money.
Bourbon or Rye, mixed. Crown Royal might be my favorite, but with cola or limeade or just a little vermouth the distinctions between different liquor quality levels get drowned, so I don't get too picky.
