Self improvement thread

What have you done today to better yourself from degeneracy?

The Fendippitous Eggmen are returning soon.

>13. Use fuck in every fucking sentence.

>Swearing is cool

Reading Stoic Texts daily. Epictetus' Discourses are perhaps one of the greatest books ever written imo. Could not overstate how much I recommend it. Start with his Enchiridion to familiarise yourself first

>Got up at 6
>Worked on art portfolio a couple hours
>Started working on commission price sheet so I can start shilling
>Sorted some laundry
>going to the store later for needle and thread to mend some pants I tore the other day
>will hopefully get some reading done in the afternoon

>fuck fuck fuck
>I'm so grown up and cool

Write it again, this time without cussing

Stopped watching porn.

>its a normie "tough love" advice episode where they act tough and swear a lot

...

Perhaps one of the most based men to have ever lived.

>weeeeh he said a bad word weeeeeeeeeh :-((((
t. overweight unproductive cucks

...

>Life is hard meme

Life is as easy as you make it desu

>I'm 12

Ignored rule 11. I live off of a cycle of coffee/energy drinks and booze to fall asleep. This lets me do all of the other ones.

Not if the surgeon has anything to say about it

>u r a kid XD

Took me back

I biked 22 miles and ate my veggies.

One thing to always remember is to not force this "HNNNFFF MUST IMPROVE AND BE PRODUCTIVE AT ALL COSTS" mentality upon yourself. Ease into it. Let it become routine. It's often counter productive to jump into a completely different lifestyle or conversely, quitting a particular lifestyle cold turkey.

I tried being less of an apathetic person, I always fail because I truly believe most things are pointless

I scheduled an appointment with a college counselor to get off academic probation so I can continue my education starting this January, after a year of addiction and despair.

I've been drinking and snorting less (3 weeks clean from yayo, only a few beers over the past 2 weeks). I intend to quit cigarettes after my withdrawal symptoms end. Doing art again is helping me get sober.

I've started actually trying to clean up the mess of a home I live in. The mess wouldn't all fit in the trash, and it turns out that I need more closet hangers, a plumber, and some fungicide.

don't fucking trust jews

>Hey guys, guess what? Fuck. XD I hope my mom doesn't hear me :3

>fucking fuck fuck
really made me think

>I intend to quit cigarettes after my withdrawal symptoms end

DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Never try to quit smoking so soon after kicking other shit, you are pretty much sure to relapse. If you must don the mouth fedora do so but don't even think about doing away with all nicotine anytime soon.

To most people in first world countries, sure.

Apathy can help as much as it can hurt. Did you try for the sake of others or strictly yourself?

'atta boy

>cant' tell the difference between casual swearing used to emphasize a point, and swearing in every sentence like a faggot who wants to appear cool and edgy to impressionable teenagers and nu-males
Yep, you're a kid.

went to work
ate healthy
walked 6 miles

This.

Cigarettes will become your saving grace when kicking a serious addiction. It's absolutely necessary.

>swearing
swearing is for plebeians

>not understanding that the author wanted to create authority over the reader as to help him with the tasks at hand
you must be 18 or older to post here.

If you can't say something with impact without sounding like a 14 year old, you need to work on either your content or your communication skills.

This is just embarrassing really

>"12 fucking rules for success"

please

>the author wanted to create authority over the reader
He sure failed at that, then.

>I'm an easily influenced kid, thus the target audience for the OP's list
Sure.

Overslept and fapped 2 times.

How do i quit masturbating. Its the one addiction i've never managed to shake, everything else was easy.

>children
Irony at its finest.

Got up at 6 to give a seminar on regenerative genomics to PhD students in a foreign country.
Think I'm doing alright on productivity...
>I did get high this morning though
Am I still degenerate?

Going through a short bout of amphetamine withdrawal following finals week seemed to do the trick.

Occupy your time with other things, preferably things that either keep you out of the house or otherwise in the company of people. If you fill your schedule with useful activities and commit to doing them one day you'll be driving or whatever and you'll realize that not only have you not fapped in two weeks but you haven't even thought about it.

>If I keep saying everyone else is a kid it will improve my argument
Ok, read OPs post again without the swears and then decice which version was more impactful.

I have been reading meditations by Marcus Aurelius and I'll be heading to this next.

>that picture has a lot of bad words in it and mommy told me bad words are bad so the point the author is trying to make must be bad

>Amphetamine comment follows tapping reference.
The struggle is real.

I can't even go a day without marijuana madturbation and video games

God help me

>Ok, read OPs post again without the swears and then decice which version was more impactful.
The one without fucking swearing. That being said, neither is fucking impactful. He's just regurgitating tired fucking platitudes.

>I'm fucking 12, and think fucking swearing in every fucking sentence is fucking wicked cool! ^_^;;

You are beyond beta. I hereby declare you king nu male the second. I bet you dont know what the inside of female sexual organs feels like and you never will you fucking cuck.

>
>ur a virgin ;D
Good god, it's like being in middle school again.

Another great book. I find I go between the two depending on what I feel like - Marcus seems to be of a more personal nature (things like getting out of bed, dealing with others) and Epictetus often goes through proofs and evidences about his beliefs and is heavily focused on those things within and not within our control. Either way, it's like Buddhism on steroids

I do this already, my problem is I'm always so horny when I wake up or go to bed and easy access to porn right next to me. The rest of the day is fine, ifs just in bed i'm almost conditioned to do it.

studied hard. just like i do every fucking day. since at least two months.
no freetime exept when i need a break to keep functioning.
hadn't sex in nearly 6weeks although i have a gf.
fuck my life

maybe if you werent such a cuck you wouldnt be called a virgin constantly.

Threw out my gaming PC out the window. I can no longer play games all day. Now i have no choice but to hit them gym or go for a walk=)

I know, I mean like months from now if I manage to stay clean.

Which particular translation do you prefer/read? What about Meditations? I've just noticed there is a couple

>cuck! virgin!
Looks like I hit a homerun when guessing your age earlier.

I don't understand that. The last thing my I'm focused on is whacking it. I'm too distracted by studying or working to even think about it.

You fucker, should have just put it in storage or sold it... but at least you're pursuing your goals.

yes

>wake up at 12
>skip 6/8 classes
