How have you improved yourself this week/month/year? Lifting isn't life, a well-balanced human being is productive, has hobbies, pushes him/herself to succeed, is charismatic, and strives to live the best life they can. Share your successes, failures, methods, and everything in between.
Basic Recommendations: >Have a productivity Framework that is flexible. A mindset that gets you going. >Use a calendar, like google calendar. Hours and shit for things YOU WILL DO. >Learn to focus. >Meditate. >Do routines for things you should do periodically/daily, this should cover daily things or weekly chores such as laundry, cleaning, shopping. >Identify and Eliminate conflicts within yourself. >Focus on identifying the time wasters in your life and eliminate them. >Focus on the essentials. If you try to do everything at once you’ll burnout. Little by little.
Fucking kike mods keep deleting my fave thread on pol while leaving up bbc spam. As I was saying in the last thread doing great did a ton of exercise and ate a ton of healthy food today. Just getting things ready for my last little of uni before starting at my new job in accounting.
Henry Butler
Good, just ate some eggs and pineapple for breakfast, getting ready to do my morning exercise
/sig/ is unironically the best thread there is on Jow Forums Fuck mods for moving/deleting it, self improvement is 100% political because politics starts with YOU
Nice man, make it a good session. Thanks man, Im actually a bong living in the states. Just here for a holiday. I don't have it but I think its unbelievably autistic to say SIG isn't political. The personal is political and we are striving to live out our political aspirations in our own lives and discussing how best to do so.

Ain't it great how the artist paints the good and bad goats DIFFERENT FUCKING COLO(you)RS so we know what their inner moral compass is like?
it's almost like a metaphor for black vs white people

Confession time though, my post was full of the positive shit going on right now. Did have a wank last night, I felt like I needed to in order to fall asleep but really it was just because I was on my phone too late into the night and had a hard time sleeping because of it. Going to put down screens for a few hours before bed tonight bros.

Why insist making a Jow Forums thread on Jow Forums? It's like making a sport thread on /a/ and getting mad mods are doing their jobs. Boards are not sekrit klubz. It will probably be read by the same people.

This year has been stop/start for me...
I now have close to £10k saved and can afford to move out of my moms house at last. Still nervous about affording rent etc with my online income.
I recently did 30 Days of Yoga and felt really great. Haven't done it for a couple of weeks now though and started to stiffen up again
Managed to meditate for 80 days straight. Sometimes only managed 10-15 mins a day but usually sat for 20 mins at least once. Again, haven't done it for a couple of weeks and struggling to start again
Have not been to gym in months. Feel too old and skinny now to motivate myself to do it.
I go through phases of productivity and progress followed by a month or so of utter stagnation. I didn't use Jow Forums for nearly 3 months. This past week I'm hooked again and Jow Forums is bringing the absolute worst out in me. Need to quit this shit again fast
Good luck to everyone trying to improve.
Hudson Scott

Its not about just working out. Its about living your life and engaging with the world in a fashion which will help to bring about our political aspirations in our own lives. This is the best way to change the world and society we cant just yell at politicians or libshits to make the world a better place it starts in each and everyone of us.
Colton Jones
Sure, fuck it.
Matthew Bennett
Good call. I’ve been fapping with just my imagination but I really don’t want to do it daily. I’m gonna build a pull-up bar this weekend and start working out with my brother. I need to be tired af in the evening so I can resist temptation.
Justin Rivera
Well it worked. I lost weight, got in shape, got cultured reading and now I was finally able to fugg my crush. Thanks SIG
Henry Gomez
Da jooz also put a lot of effort in making movies. Does that mean Jow Forums should examine movies? A movie making general? The same goes for music, art, finance, etc. Boards have topics for a reason.
Carter Turner
Well i do need a cut, but i got to see if my check cleared yet.
Xavier Mitchell
Today is day 30 of 30 days straight of morning/evening meditation + 4 prayer sessions a day. Goal over the next month is to get every session instead of 10-15 mins to 20-30mins.
I've got 3 jobs to apply to this week.
Has anyone got a decent web blocker? Ublock doesn't work for me.
James Cooper
Man I used to buy the idea that fapping wasnt bad if you didnt watch porn. I know its better but still you are building up prolactin levels in your body which will interfere with normal testosterone production especially if it is a regular habit. I know its tough but I am trying to commit to no more than once every 1-2 months. We literally do have threads to talk about movies art music etc. That is the same fucking excuse the BBC spammers use, that it is political as the consumption of media is political.
Liam Collins
Those who did not fight will perish even in history
Be the change you want to see in the world. Think global, act local. Jow Forums is a cult. If we are too defeat the cult of saturn we ALL have to step our game up. Significantly.

why do you care about this so much? Surely some Jow Forumsacks making a thread about wanting to improve themselves doesn't affect your ability to do whatever you normally do on this board.

How do you guys deal with having too many ambitions? Really big ones. Since I was a child I somehow knew that I had what it takes to succed in life. Peers consider me to be really smart, sociable, etc. But doubt has seeped into my heart and I now feel somehow "weak"; as if God Himself laughs at me and my resolve. Am I deluding myself thinking that with enough willpower I can reach the heights that I want to reach or can I actually do it? Is there a time where dreaming too much can alienate me? Am I just the next Icarus?
Justin Walker
I've long had problems with sleep. And in the past couple of years, also with acid related stomach issues. I heard about this book (pic) recently and decided to try it. I didn't actually read the book as I knew beforehand I was going to try the gist of it regardless (so why waste time). The gist being: eat all of your meals for the day inside of an 8 hour window, with the window being during daylight hours. Have a hearty breakfast. Note the time. Now, you have to finish eating your last meal of the day 8 hours from now.
I've been doing this for about three weeks, and the results are quite good. I've been able to maintain a regular sleep pattern the whole time (which is unprecedented for me). I've lost weight. And, I've had just one major stomach flare-up - where I would have probably had three or four, normally, over this same time span.
Like I said, I didn't actually read the book, so I can't offer much more info. But if have any of the problems I mentioned having, consider trying this.
This is the most important thread on Jow Forums right now. Don't kid yourself.

I accepted some time ago that being successful is not something you can learn. The likes of Bezos, Musk, Zuck are born, not made.
Entrepreneurs seem to possess ungodly levels of focus, confidence and determination. As a neurotic beta male of average IQ, I decided it was best to put these silly dreams of success to bed and pursue a standard normie life instead
Elijah White
you haven't done anything and are already tired, pathetic..sounds like a shillbait eat less/better+move and sleep more, whatever you are.

I'll try this out. I've been losing a lot of sleep lately and want to fix it.

>pursue a standard normie life instead This is my greatest fear user.
Gardening. DIY. Seeing friends more. Arranging a holiday. Having sex more. Actually looking at beauty when I see it. Getting better at arguing by reading Jow Forums and Twitter.
In terms of routine, I find it handy to have recurring appointments then make a list of what to do the coming weekend. Get a shopping list app and use it too. Finally, always pay off credit card when the value is taken out rather than leaving it.
Nolan Davis
you aren't a beta, suggestion look to invest that £10k instead of being a serf to some boomer landlord
Leo Peterson
I am possessed to knowledge, i want to know but getting confused & only way to really know is trough experience, so i meditate and meditate and getting frustrated when i can't see. I have to slow down but i can't and don't want to turn back to matrix & pain of ignorance is growing.
The above library is not "self improvement", it's occultism, magick, and mysticism, meant for serious devotees, not particularly for folks with a passing interest in literature. Authorities from Regardie in the West to any number of Hindi practitioners in the East have noted that if unprepared and already sitting in a bad place, these practices can actually inflame one's sense of accomplishment and self with while actually accomplishing little to nothing within the system.
So feel free to keep spreading it, because that just takes work off of me, but don't kid yourself as to what can be accomplished by skimming books with little guidance. A lot of practiced folks recommend getting some kind of psychotherapy or psychoanalysis *before* entering into practice.
Josiah Nguyen
"lfe" is a lie There is always desire to be something more within human. Usually it manifest itself trough materialistic ways, sexual ways, trough drugs or parenthood example. It is endless chasing, rat-race that leads nowhere but keeps you busy trough own creation that people calls as life.
We can't remember our time as toddlers because we didn't exist in that time. We had no identity. Only when years has gone while we gathered data from our environment we created identity. When we have our identity, we decide what matters to us. Then we experience impulsive feelings when things didn't go as we wanted.
We are piece of life that creates own false image and plays it (Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image). We get so tangled to our own creation that it can kill us and bring us into hell. We think that something or someone causes our misery even when we alone create everything within.
We have all this mysterious desire to do something, be something more. It usually manifest itself trough sexual ways, materialistic ways, trough parenthood, dating, drugs, games, food, alcohol.. you name it. Trough that it leads nowhere, it keeps us happy for a moment and then we need more. So where we are now? We are piece of life that want to experience bigger part of it. Trough physical ways it finds not that part and when that need to expand finds no expression we create this pain within. So what to do? This is what meditation is all about. We wan't to think nothing, be nothing because that is just the data we gathered from the physical and created self from it. When we learn to be still, just be as piece of life, something start to happen that seems to expand you into everywhere. It seems to that consciousness, awareness is the basic that exist and everything else is manifest of it.
What ((they)) wan't is to bind us more and more into physical, sins, into that rat-race i wrote about above, so that we wouldn't learn or even think about this.
Jace Torres
Not enough to invest. Its all I've got in the world. I'm in my 30s and still living at home. I somehow managed to get through years of on/off suicidal thinking as a result of this. I need to move out and just accept my lot as another loser paying all my earnings to a Paki landlord.
At least I'm self-employed. At least I'm not forced into wage slavery just yet

>I left out go shooting, go out into nature for a hike, and go surfing a few times a week you can do it friend, eliminate all doubt within yourself and that which comes from others and you will be on your way. Any self conflicting thoughts need to be strictly analyzed and you will make the right choices.
>nofap 90+ days I think I'm making it bros. Although I have wet dreams really often. I'm thinking about getting a kolovrat tattoo on my shoulder. My grandfather had one and my family has been Slavic (polish-slovakian-ukrainian roots) for over 300 years. Anything I should know before getting a tattoo?

good job on the nofap and positive future outlook, good on the diet make sure you eat plenty of vegetables and get your protein man.
If you are going to drink try to make it a clear spirit like gin, will have less of a shitkicking effect on your body the next day. But why do you feel like drinking? I know you said stress but can you elaborate on what makes you go for a drink? I think knowing what makes us give into vices can help us avoid the situation in the first place.

Stop being a meme flaggot should be one of the self improvement steps. Be proud of your nation.
