Read books.

I would pay 0.1 btc to have intercourse with her

i'll tell you what i do:
>meditate every morning
>yoga every morning
>go to gym every other day
>read books every day (self-improvement related books though)
>dedicate 2+ hours a day to learning skill (currently programming in python)
>pick up a hobby (for me it's boxing)
>stop wasting time on non-productive dopamine sources (social media, movies, TV, vidya, yaday yada)
>make budget for every week
>set new goals weekly, monthly, annually
>fap only once every other week
>donate blood (any other philantropic action will do though)

I started doing all of those above at once two months ago, before that I was a pile of non-productive depressed shit.
It helped me tremendously.

Now looking for additional tips for habits from other anons to implement.

this basically.
nice my man

The first step is to learn how to write complete sentences. "What do" makes you sound like a dumb nigger. You're not a dumb nigger, are you?

Not OP.

Thank you, you have just given me the direction I desperately needed.

Thank you very much my man, already noted all those things down

thanks

glad that I've helped

hope it works out for you like it did for me

remember to stick to it no matter what

So you have also embraced the boringness of life. Dull.. dull.. dull. A well, boring is better than aweful.

boring just means that your brain's reward system is spoiled by the constant flow of new dopamine it's used to from vidya, youtube, social media

once you go cold turkey on those, you will start to enjoy things that I've listed but on top of that you will be moving somewhere in your life

I also would advice /sig/ over at fit and maybe Jow Forums.

Don't take everything 100% as fact and research those things additiomnaly yourself.
It also always depends and the wave of current anons contributing in the /sig/s.
Sometimes quality after quality posts and sometimes stupid stuff.
But in general there is a basic level of advice that should be done like said it.

join Chamber of Light disc0rd : SJ2hMj

would you mind sharing some things you found to be helpful from /sig/s?

I hope I can explain it good enough, since it is internalized for me and I don't have to actively think about it.
I will also add some pics to it.

Important core things are:
having a healthy body, mind and soul which kinda means:
> don't be a fat slob or weak small twink, strong enough to be able to lift and carry other people / to be in a physical state to help other people
> have social and soft skills (yes even an base dwelling idiot can learn this), having your own opinion and to be able to form your own critical thoughts (don't be an NPC/lemming), read books and inform yourself, have a strong mindset
> have usefull skills, hobbys, do stuff in your free time that makes you happy which could still used for something good
Which means you can't have fun anymore, I still play video games and have more beers then I should. It depends how often you do these things (like pic related)

Getting some sort of stoic mindset.
Greek philosophy is great stuff.

Accept, that the only person you have to satisfy/please is yourself.
Don't accept that any person will respect you or show you love if you can't love/respect yourself.
In the end, you are responsible for yourself.
No one owes you anything.

There is also some stuff, which I can short down to the book "How to win friends and influence people".
Learn the human psychology! Why people act the way they do. Get to know the background of the core topics why it works.

Not bad, will consider for my soul

I also believe, to truly become a person that goes from 0 to 100, you had to hit rock bottom once.
People who live an kinda OK life often won't really get the passion to get shit done.
To spend their time to better themself instead of watching TV/play games/doing other stupid shit.

I always wonder, what certain people have experienced in their life, how fucked up they may had it in their youth, to go all-in and stand above everything else to work their way to where they are now.

You kinda described what I naturally became on my own. All it took was some self awareness and being realistic with my shortcomings. And the desire to be something greater than I was.

I hit at least 3 rock bottoms in my life with lower lows each time. What do I win?

There will always be people who say that what you are doing is stupid, there is always someone trying to manipuilate you.
Since I know how it is being alone without anyone on my side, there was no need for me to care what are people thought.
Just do your thing. Instead of playing 5 rounds of LoL per day I played 3 and hit the gym instead.
Instead of watching shows on my mobile on the train to work 45 minutes each way I read book. (1,5h 5 times a week will be a lot of new knowledge).

Start small!
Do not try to change everything at one!
Live your life as usual and change one small thing at first.
Maybe start with a glass of water instead of coke with your meal.
Or cut down video games down by only by 15 minutes and use that time to stare out of the window and refelct your thoughts.

Don't focus on things you can't control and start working on the things you can control.

the screencapped post is really interesting, I never looked at it like that except the consumption part

for me it's currently something like:
60% investment
20% consumption
20% expression

also I read the ''How to win friends and influence people", actually it was the second book I read since I picked up reading
definitely helped me a lot

this was the case for me 100%, had things turned out well for me two months ago I definitely would've never picked this self-improvement path

> What do I win?
Use it to fuel your ambitions, if it is the right kind of rock bottom which you never want to experience in your life (if you can control that kind of rock bottom).


I know in the back of my head that there are some things about human psychology which may hurt to speak out but which are true.
Helpful when interacting with people but I can't remember them right now.

It is good to have the control over you emotions towards other people, to be not impulsive.
It is good to not freak out and always keep a sane mind when other people do stupid stuff.

and regarding social media:

I deleted faceberg, instagram, snapchat. I never had a twitter.

It's immense what kind of difference it makes. Snapchat literally is a mental illness oven. It's other people trying to convince each other that their lives are interesting through photos of friends or sights or food or alcohol. It's all external validation.

>look at how funny my friend is, I have friends and we have fun, look
>look at this fancy meal, my boyfriend has money and he takes me out
>look at this sunset over my city, I live in a city now, I've really moved away from the old boring town that you're probably still stuck in!
>look at this alcohol, I got invited to get drinks with friends, I'm popular

And you have to post stories too. Cuz you'll need to convince these people that your life can measure up to theirs.

Snapchat is fucking evil. It's a mental illness oven.

Social media is addictive and pushes a distorted version of reality that our brains aren't suited for. The socially acceptable methods of internet use overall is pretty poisonous for humans in a lot of ways (social competence, ability to read long passaged, attention span)

You may say, I don't do that stuff. Try to actively study other people, how they behave what they do and why they do it.
I sometimes lose all hope :(
