>Whatever moral rules you have deliberately proposed to yourself. abide by them as they were laws, and as if you would be guilty of impiety by violating any of them. Don't regard what anyone says of you, for this, after all, is no concern of yours. How long, then, will you put off thinking yourself worthy of the highest improvements and follow the distinctions of reason? You have received the philosophical theorems, with which you ought to be familiar, and you have been familiar with them. What other master, then, do you wait for, to throw upon that the delay of reforming yourself? You are no longer a boy, but a grown man. If, therefore, you will be negligent and slothful, and always add procrastination to procrastination, purpose to purpose, and fix day after day in which you will attend to yourself, you will insensibly continue without proficiency, and, living and dying, persevere in being one of the vulgar. This instant, then, think yourself worthy of living as a man grown up, and a proficient. Let whatever appears to be the best be to you an inviolable law. And if any instance of pain or pleasure, or glory or disgrace, is set before you, remember that now is the combat, now the Olympiad comes on, nor can it be put off. By once being defeated and giving way, proficiency is lost, or by the contrary preserved. Thus Socrates became perfect, improving himself by everything. attending to nothing but reason. And though you are not yet a Socrates, you ought, however, to live as one desirous of becoming a Socrates.

Epictetus, Echiridion, Chapter 50

Take up a philosophy of life. Find guidance. Whether that be Christianity, Buddhism, Stoicism, Cynicism or Epicureanism makes no difference.

Give yourself rules and follow them.

Low-intensity cardio like jogging is pretty dumb. The more often you do it, the more efficient your body becomes at burning calories from doing it = you build a resistance to losing calories from it. Do high-intensity cardio like sprinting or hitting a punching bag. Otherwise, heavy weightlifting, especially compound exercises (bench, squat, overhead, pullup, deadlift) burns a fuckton of calories while convincing your body that it needs a lot more muscle = burning lots of fat and very little muscle.

Rolling.

if OTennou is here say hi

hey /sig/ how do I develop better mental stamina and attention. I'm getting distracted from my goals easily. Are there any mental exercises you can recommend?

This book is a good one too. Thanks POL for helping me get order in my life.

Rolling

Nice digits, rolling (I went up a small mountain yesterday so please no 5)

A thing that doesn't get mentioned in these threads is to try and shop in local stores as much as you can (butchers etc)

This.
I also have a bigger, better version. Pic Related.

Did you read it all?
Can you give me basic gestalt?
Beacose, i heard interviev with author and i only heard some basic things which he supported by this famous situtaion with Israelis who occupied TV station i gaza and transmitted porn.

a british small mountain is the rough equivalent of an American mole hill, right?

Read books, go on the internet less. I notice when I read a book after a long hiatus it is incredibly difficult to focus for more than a few pages, but eventually I get back into the swing of it and can read for however long I want.

>lift more than an hour

You are fucking retarded.
Your goal should be to lift within one hour. Anything else is a muscle loss.

procrastinating cleaning house rolling for what to do next

This. I was watching a Gordon Ramsey video and it was sad to see local butchers are all pretty much gone when they're the ones you could trust most with meat.

When you go for a jog you can start sprinting every other lamppost and then have a "rest" until the next one. Eventually you will become swift as a greyhound, tough as leather and hard as Krupp steel.

Can anyone confirm if a pull-up and running routine would actually work? Sounds interesting as fuck. I'd add some isolated core to that for the sick packs.
