What are some of the ways in which you are actively trying to improve yourself rn? (could be a health/lifestyle thing, a technical skill, how you behave in your relationships, whatever the fr*ck. these are just examples)

It's probably just an excuse, but I feel like my hands are full with just trying not to fully die right now, even though I don't understand wHaT tHe pOiNt iS. I have a moderate case of Sad Girl House though, and I'm trying to get it back in order a little every day. I'm also trying to commit myself to doing one thing I actually enjoy every day instead of just coming home and thinking about all the things I have to do tomorrow that I don't enjoy, until I just fall asleep on the couch. Actually going to bed, like in my bed, is something else I should consider starting to think about doing every day in order to improve myself.
There aren't any. I'm currently trapped in the elevator that goes to Rock Bottom and I don't have the energy to stand up and find a way to send it back up.
I am trying to improve by going to the Dojo and exercise Zen.
I try to not resent/hate people for all the various reasons I tend to, because I know it's not ideal and everybody hates everybody else too much and it doesn't help anything. I've found that if I just see their ugly character traits as "ugly" then it helps not to hate them. That's actually what they are, ugly, and why hate something just because it's ugly?
Another interesting thing is someone said the other day that others are there to remind you of what you don't want to be, that it's not as personal as you think, or something like that. I think I've had a similar thought years ago.
Another good practice is to look inward and see why someone's behavior offends you. Sometimes it's because you see yourself in their behavior and you don't accept that part of you. Or if they insulted you or got angry with you, why does that hurt? In the case of insulting, is it because of a fragile ego? Maybe
that's something one could look into and improve upon? (I was going to say more about this but I can't remember what I was going to say :P)
I think think we get angry when someone directs negativity at us because our first response would be to feel grief that we did something wrong to make them feel the way they do (there's a lot more love beneath the veil of human existence than we know), but we can't afford to feel grief every time someone directs negativity at us because it happens too often, so instead we get angry at them for trying to make us feel that way.
Another way I try to improve myself is to try to regain some of the sharpness I lost over time by solving mathematical problems in my head. Like this morning I figured out what the ratio would have to be between the radius of an optical disk and the radius of the burned part for the area of the burned part to be equal to the area of the unburned part. (My original hunch was correct - sqrt(2)).. but then I realized I forgot to take into consideration the hole in the center. =P
I also always mean to eat less to lose some of this belly fat, but it seems every day I get bored as sh*t and cave and eat when I'm not hungry. =p
It started on 27.04.2020. I eat less and healthier and added a little more exercise to my day. Already lost like 20 pounds. Still a long way to go.
Im tryna start treating my body better by eating cleaner.. also my relationships with pple by trying to be there a bit more and checking in with them.. which has always been kinda hard for me to do bc most of the time i be too into my own head to pay attention to much else tbh. And I don't even mean this in like a conceited way like I only worry about myself or anything
