All of those. Also cooking for myself. Eating a very healthy diet. Everything is a cut of meat, or fresh vegetable.

I wish I could go running every day. Going every second day seems to work well to improve my endurance and recover but I feel so lazy on my off days.

Self-improvement is impossible because the I/Me/Am doing the imrpovement is the I/Me/Am that needs to be improved.

I try but I'm weak. And I like weed too much. And porn. And alcohol. And sitting in front of a screen.

>i'm weak
You are like an animal unable to control base instincts... a slave to your dopamine response

Is your mind able to take control of the body?
>learn russian
why? Not gonna knock it, just have never seen a russian speaker ever

>Exercising at least 3 times a week
>Practicing new instruments
>Learning how to use Illustrator and After Effects to make ebin maymays xD
>Waking early every morning
>Quit drinking
>Quit smoking cigarettes
I still smoke weed tho. Got a long way to go, but I'm improving every day.

Define "your" mind and take control, friend. Do you breathe manually? When you don't breathe or walk manually, is your mind in control of your body?

Anyone can "self-improve" for a while but the issue lies deeper than that.

>learning russian

wtf, why? It's only spoken by idiots. Learn German or French.

Thanks Captain. Any infographics/recommended reading to get myself out of a rut?

Down 20 lbs
fixing my teeth after not seeing the dentist for 9 years
going to the gym
amassing wealth

...not much else

been kinda half assing it but that's better than no-assing it.

>learn russian
oh were dealing with a larper, just learn any second language as long as it is not japanese,
i am fluent in 5 languages already. (English, Afrikaans, French, German, Norwegian) and ofc Dutch

What's the most patrician position to read? It feels like any comfortable position is also a detrimental one to your posture

Bought an elliptical trainer and a 80kg punching bag to work on my cardio indoors, which pretty much completes the home gym I was striving for.

Currently reading La Fronda Aristocrática (not translated) by A. Edwards, which explains how our national elites have historically tried to sabotage the attempts to create and consolidate a strong. centralized state.

Life is good.

I have made 800 euros in one day. Feels good.

I learned it just to read Tolstoï in russian and it was worth it tbqhwy

>just fapped
>took a second icecream from the fridge
>about to play video games
Feels good, mang.

...

That could be the start of your own gym. I have one at home built in the course of 10 years, invested around 5000 euros and I don't miss anything.

(You)

Just imagine. 6 years ago you were pissing in 2L coke bottles and putting anything you could find up your asshole in front of losers from Europe on a webcam every night before you check your okcupid profile to see you have 0 replies.

Do any of you have advice for getting rid of brain fog and getting more high energy? Nofap helps somewhat, but I still get brain fog sometimes.

I don't think fascism is really a positive solution, and I don't get this meme of "self improvement = becoming a fascist"

Beyond that I've been lifting every weekday, transitioning into a keto diet and been making good money between speculative trading and writing code (mostly python and javascript stuff, might start tinker with React so I can make webapps and also port them to mobile platforms for fun and profit)

I'd like to learn a foreign language to become more cultured, but as a native English speaker, it just feels like a waste of time. I'm really never going to need to speak whatever language I learn (unless it's Spanish...) and most Europeans seem to know English, anyway.

anyway, nofap is great, so is exercise/fitness
also basic supplements and a healthy diet
and stimulants from time to time

Start taking Bacopa and Vitamin B and put a blue light filter on your devices.

So disgusting i almost puked

Can anyone give me advices how i can stop fapping?

Literally can't live without fapping

Stay hydrated, breath correctly and eat fresh food.
Having a good cardio helps aswell.

You don't learn a language (or anything else) for the functionality of it. With that mentality you will never learn anything really fulfilling.

You should probably go for German then, Its not too hard and it is (and i think it will become more) important here in Europe.
Plenty of good books to read in German too.

I don' think it is possible living inside american society. My guess is it indirectly pushes you to be hypersexualized.

Why not japanese? Japanese have a lot of fantastic writers and their style is very different from western ones and translations are an insult to their prose.

Also japanese culture and philosophy are are also very different and interesting. If you want to have a proper education you must also study japanese along with some chinese languages, sanskrit and arabic.

how are you supposed to hold pages and the book with your head at that angle

or are you just referring to the legs

okay
step 1: dont stroke your dick

just takes discipline you weakling

>Can anyone give me advices how i can stop fapping?
Do something to tire yourself out before going to bed and either A) turn your phone or ipad off completely B) put your phone/ipad in another room

i know francies like weeb shit but just no.
japanese is a meme language

i breathe manually, heavy and slow is that bad?

...

You mean like an open, commercial gym? That might be crazy enough to work, honestly. I already have the barbells, weights, squat rack, bench and so on. It'd also tie our neighborhood together and foster community spirit. Besides, the extra pesos are always welcome. I like the idea.

Just refering to the legs, cant find a better picture

buy sand paper gloves

No, it's not bad. The point is being aware of nothing, some things, or everything all the time.

I don't think that's what he meant but it might just work in Chile. Make it a women's gym for extra points.

Went to the gym two database ago, did some squats and killed my fucking legs, then I did a 3 mile run ands killed that gem even even more to the point of barely being able to walk, I'm getting better now though, i want to continue asap.

If you think weeb shits is all there is to japanese culture that's quite sad, it's their equivalent of our shitty entertainment industry, every culture has a shitty side nowadays.

>quit my dead end retail job after my manger told me I would never be good enough to get higher than I was
>got a job working night shift security, started using company time to read
>just built a small forge, just have to wait on the tools to come in
>bought an airbrush and worked out a deal with my uncle that makes cosplay armor pieces
>signed up to volunteer at my local VFD and enrolled in the EMS-paramedic program at the local community college

I think after a 2 year fight with depression I'm doing pretty okay.

You're American, better start learning Chinese.

My contribution to this thread Hmmmm... Do you ever deny yourself anything? There is the benefit of somethings - say like giving your liver a break by not drinking, but you're ALSO learning to tell yourself no. That's the main benefit of things like nofap also, to deny yourself, you're training your will power. I also pray and read Bible when I struggle or relapse or get lazy.

I am imperfect also, now i'm trying to become /fit/

>You mean like an open, commercial gym?

Not really, just a place where you can train without missing anything.

I train with more people too but we are not open to the public, it's just friends of mine.

and france is europe's

clean your room

>avoid weed
Makes me fappy as hell
>keep stimulants like caffeine & Adderall constant
low dopamine will make you crave PMO
>wean
Just go NoPorn first and notice your desire to fap decrease dramatically. It's still there "when you need it" but you'll need it less and less. Wean off w/ less intense porn if you have to. Vids to /hc/ to /s/ to clothed pics to nothing.

>That's the main benefit of things like nofap also, to deny yourself, you're training your will power.
This. One of the best rewards you can give yourself is to practice self-control. The reward of such action is better than any drug or food can give you.

Less porn. Less fapping. No more weed. Learning German. Reading more. Being more social (I need a gf). Debating more people. Standing up for myself. Getting redpill is the best thing that has ever happened to a goy like me.

>I am imperfect also

If anyone was ever perfect, they wouldn't exists because reality was created by God to contain imperfection. That's the whole point - there is no i without the other. That's what Jung meant when was writing about the Shadow, but people misinterpret him to this day.

Sin isn't an an act, it's a state of mind. Naught-y thougths.

What does "Naught" mean?

>Noun: nothing. a cipher (0); zero. Adjective: lost; ruined. worthless; useless.

And I forgot to add eating healthier and working out!

The battle of the ego, Win it naw!
He who conquers others is strong, but he who conquers himself is mighty!

>Got over my over-religious bitchy ex
>Failed miserably at stopping smoking
>Going to the gym 4-5x per week for 3 months straight
>keep searching for a fucking job

I just want to look like Hugh Jackman when i hits his age... and to have a fucking job =/

If you want to learn foreign languages try to learn two at the same time, it will help you stop always going back to thinking in your mother tongue.

I'd advise you to learn french and german, they are very different and a bit challenging to learn but will make it A LOT easier to learn other germanic or romance languages.

After that you should move on to either polish or russian with norvegian or icelandic, and then hungarian and finish and you'll be able to understand almost everyone in Europe.
Then arabic, japanese, hindi and mandarin and you can read almost everything that has ever been written (and you should read, start with classic english litterature and greek philosophers, and then as you learn new languages move on).

It'll likely take a lifetime to learn all of these languages and read so many things but that's the point. Life is a lot more fulfilling this way.

Always remember that happiness and pleasure have nothing to do with eachother.

44.
losing weight.
walking 90 miles a week. give or take.

It's all about disciple.

Recommend you follow EdLatimore on Twitter and buy his book. Useful knowledge.

Any real tips on how to prolong no fap? i always fail on the third day. Especially when depressed.

This guy knows what's up. The greatest accomplishment of Magic according to Peter J. Carrol is inducing a change of character. A genuine one, merely pretentding doesn't cut it.

It's more to get the noggin joggin than anything else. It's an interesting language, I didn't really take to any of the others I tried to learn.

i don't' see the problem with fapping. Fapping is healthy. Just don't watch porn to fap. Use your imagination.

damn

>pretending
You can create a mental image and then believe that it is yourself. Act like you're already who you want to be.

Understand the process, be a scientist, investigate your needs and desires, that will focus your mind away from fap, and you'll learn!

This is going to sound LARPy as fuck but it worked for me.

Watch LOTR, all of them in as short a space of time as possible, not only will it white pill you but once your done, go buy a shitty necklace with a ring or symbol of your choosing and imagine every time you get tempted as sauron calling you through the ring.

THIS REALLY DID WORK FOR ME AND YES IT IS AUTISTIC BUT TRUST ME IT IS THE BEST /WHITEPILL/ THING TO DO.

Then choose one of these 2 body types to go for and fucking hit the gym m8

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT...
user, I.....

Its fucking good shit tho amirite.


GUYS PLZ.

HOW AUTISM AM I /10

I actually think i wouldn't look good /fit/. My Germanic genes would make me look awkward with muscles

>you but once your done, go buy a shitty necklace with a ring or symbol of your choosing and imagine every time you get tempted as sauron calling you through the ring.
what the fuck am I reading

Gonna walk 26 miles tomorrow.

The key is to start.
do small things walk for half an hour. make a continuous habit and then increase

I used to think I could do everything at once and wanted instant gratification. That shit never works.Slow and steady. Use metrics to track your progress.

We're gonna make it bros.

Read until you got "it" !

It's austistic alright, but it might just be autistic enough to work..

>walking anywhere in the city

Fuck that. Godspeed to you user. Please hug your family before you go, and give them an up to date picture for the police to use in their search.

I have to give you credit for your creativeness at least

Try it

>tfw Lotr fapposting will save western men within your lifetime

Do you worry about trucks of peace at all?

Just by acknowledging your weakness you are stronger than those who live in willful ignorance or their vice.

Don't change yourself all at once. All you should do is try one little change. Just one time a day when you're about to do something you know you shouldn't, don't do it. Just one tiny thing a day.

I wonder what Tolkien would think of your method.

nice job

Thanks for the advice. Do you know many languages?
>hindi

You'll be surprised but there are routes that are lovely and entirely devoid of people. I walk along a lot of the canal ways and green paths. just white people, no blacks or Pakis. I've found these routes simply by walking and exploring. The route I took today snakes though Stratford canal system, Canary Wharf and Greenwich. Hardly crime hot spots.

t. brit poo in loo.

That's the purpose of The Will. You use it to chose better actions that you would impulsively selection and to chose actions that allow you to improve yourself.

On a more practical note, habit-building is extraordinarily helpful. If you want to get fit, you get in the habit of going to the gym every day. Pick times that work, scedule them, and consider it an obligation.

cheers fella

It's now or never, us or no one.

/eomer/ master race here, everybody do Starting Strength

Why would you? There is nothing wrong with fap, unless you beat off to porn.

He would like it, that's exactly what lotr is about, it's based on christian morality and the ring (a seemingly beautiful and precious item) is the allegory of the devil's ttentation and Gollum is what a man's become when he can't resist tentation.

IMO you should pick up a simple weight lifting routine (or just use machines at your local gym or whatever—not as good but still good) if you haven't already. Focus on big compound movements—bench press or similar machine, squat or similar leg press machine, pull-ups/lat pull-down machine etc. You'll look better, weight loss will be accelerated, and the testosterone boost is nice especially at 44

these threads are always made by cringy fat redditors

That actually sounds like a good idea

>learning ancient greek
>studying ancient philosophy
>reading as much as I can

And I'm planning to
>read Kant's 1st Critique
>and his 2nd one
>Hegel's Phenomenology (I'll do a course on it this course)
>Diferent stuff from Fichte
>wanna try Savitri Devi also. Anyone here has read anything from her?
>resume learning german

I'm no believer but good lord it is a powerful tool to use, I really was blown away by how effective it was. I think mainly because it stops you from BEGINNING to indulge. All you need is one touch of the ring and you get BTFO. I used to "just have one look", and 99% I would fail. Now I quit at the sight of the temptation.

Feelsgreatman

Also it makes orcposting that much more meaningfull.

>I don't think fascism is really a positive solution, and I don't get this meme of "self improvement = becoming a fascist"

You've got it backwards. Becoming a fascist = self-improvement. It's a necessary step in overcoming the decadence and degeneracy so prevalent in the modern world.

Plus, you know, gotta be prepped for the Race War.
