Hey everyone. I have some difficulty keeping myself on track overall, due to feeling lethargic more often than not. To help, I sometimes browse Reddit in the hopes that I’ll find something that’ll inspire me to get moving, but I’m a big believer in libre culture, and as such I don’t believe that Reddit should have the sole capability of making or breaking my lifestyle.
I’d like this community to hopefully inspire people to shed their sedentary lifestyles and to bring people towards a lifestyle that promotes physical and mental health.
Every small act of self care matters, and thus a community like this should be nothing but beneficial. Let’s make it the best it could possibly be.
Could you clarify what sort of content would inspire that? I have many resources I’d be keen on sharing but nothing seems to be 100% related to what you’re describing.
I feel that the subject you’re describing is a bit personal and maybe hard to approach from a content aggregator platform’s point of view. For example reddits /r/getmotivated in my honest opinion is completely ineffective pool of quotes and motivation posters pictures that are nothing but false-reinforcements.
However if we defined motivation as in energy to do something I think I have some ideas and do believe in some effectiveness of such posts. For example standup sort of discussions are often very motivating, i.e. “what have you been working on this week” sort of posts definite give you a bump, especially when you have someone else reply to you.
So as to my proposal for starters I’d propose weekly “what are you doing” discussions!
That’s a pretty cool idea, I can’t really say right now what kind of content would be best for me. Those discussions would be very cool, but maybe once a month would be a more appropriate frequency. Otherwise, it sounds good to me!
