/sig/ Self Improvement General

New Year is about to start next week anons. Now is a great time to work on improving your mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

>What is /sig/ and what is it doing on Jow Forums?

Since Jow Forums is an anti degeneracy board it is only logical that we try and promote the healthiest lifestyle possible. We are against drug abuse, alcoholism, pornography, gluttony and laziness. Taking care of oneself is incredibly important in order to make any sort of positive change in the world. Before we can know right from wrong, we must enrich ourselves spiritually. Before we can argue we must improve our mental knowledge of philosophy. Before we can take back our communities, we must be in top physical condition.

>Why should I self improve?

It’s almost impossible to not indulge in the decadence of of the west these days. It has created a mass of MSM slaves focused on vanity and material things, which the powers that be exploit in order to make a submissive population. To truly be independent and righteous individuals we must re-capture our manhood.

>What is the general philosophy of /sig/

To truly live is to struggle. You must internalize this truth in your being and actions and spread it to others whom you care for. Society as it is now will not last, it’s volatile. The Natural Order shall prevail, as nature is inherently Fascist. You as an individual can always choose to go against the flow and struggle and persevere while the rest of society rots and withers away. It's not an easy path, but you go on because you know that you are in the right and that in the end you will be vindicated. Live to live your life correctly and that will bring happiness to yourself and those around you.

>Basic advice

-Stop drinking sodas/artificial juices and eating junkfood.
-Go outside more
-Take cold showers
-Stop watching porn
-Start gardening
-Get Jow Forums (natty)
-Cook your own food
-Read books
-Get 8 hours of sleep
-Learn a trade

And everything you deem worthy of being in such thread.

Quit drinking cold Turkey 4 weeks ago after 8 long years of blackout drinking every night. Taking control of my life is the best thing I've ever done. Now working on ditching porn, and working out more. I sincerely hope the rest of you anons that are suffering take that first step like me and better your life. The first week sucks, but it gets better.

Bump. Quit the devil's lettuce, as it just made me ok with doing nothing. Started jogging and I go to school. What are you faggots doing?

>Take cold showers
Why? There are naturally occurring warm water sources on earth, and historically it's far more likely that people took baths than showers (because a natural shower is either rain or a waterfall, whereas a natural bath is a hot spring). It doesn't make sense to shower at all when you could bathe, and it doesn't make sense to make yourself uncomfortable for no reason

>Stop watching porn
I still, personally, firmly believe that not all porn is degenerate. Porn depicting real women is degenerate since it teaches you to idolize women you don't have and prefer watching from a passive viewpoint rather than pursuing your goals, and porn depicting any unnatural form of sex (BDSM, zoophilia, necrophilia, etc) is degenerate because it conditions you to favor the pursuit of pleasure of reproduction and pair-bonding, which is an endless cycle you will never escape. However there's little evidence that soft-core hentai has any negative effects. It conditions you to prefer natural, emotional, and spiritual bonding with another person, yet it only stokes the imagination without actually providing a surrogate female - aiding in arousal without replacing a reproductive medium.

>Get 8 hours of sleep
Why 8? Seems arbitrary. I'd favor a rule like "go to bed shortly after the sun goes down, avoid artificial light, and when you wake up naturally pull yourself out of bed and begin your morning routine instead of idling under the sheets". This will ensure everyone gets as much sleep as their body needs (be it 5 hours or 15) while discouraging laziness. The elimination of sugar, caffeine, and alcohol (from previous rules) will also help

Other than those 3, I agree with the rest of your post.

Double Bump
This shits important.

Semen retention / nofap cured my hairloss and lethargy.
If you are struggling with sig, try nofap. it helps a lot.

Good luck, best wishes, and merry christmas

Pic related should be a physical goal for everybody.

I am getting a gf this 2019. Mark my words.
Also I'll probably start karate and brazilian jiu-jitu.
I'd like to start a no fap, even though I haven't been able to go more than 2 weeks without fapping... Any tips?

The transiton is what’s difficult. Being in the state of routinely fapping and being in the state of not fapping are both easy. The only difficult part is the first few weeks of transitioning. Once you get past those first few weeks, it’s easy and fapping will be seen as stupid and a waste of time. Also, you just have to remind yourself that it is a fact that you can choose not to fap. Once you become 100% aware of that fact, it will be hard to make excuses.

Get the fuck off my precious board you absolute shill

keep going friend

good stuff senpai, don't return to retardation

keep it up homie

kek, good stuff. merry Christmas brother

I'm generally doing well.

Going to the gym, working on my music and deliberating upon ways to save the European peoples.

Come on 'holiday' to a small game range, speak to the owner of whatever farm you end up on(he'll most likely be the one driving you around) he will know better than anyone where to point you, can put you into contact with other locals and you'll soon find your way, if not you'll have an ever expanding network that will eventually lead to something.
The whole thing of saffers with shitty attitudes is isolated to a small contingent of braindead motherfuckers, you'll find your way and most of us are really friendly, especially to people who want to help.

I'd put you in contact with my cousin, but his farm recently got a claim laid on it and coincidentally happened to be ravaged by a fire which destroyed all the buildings on it...shame the things that happen

LETS DO THIS!

Give me some good audio book. I just finished the 48 laws of power.

>I am getting a gf this 2019
no reason to focus on this if you're already focusing on everything else.

Getting your diet in order is the first, and most important, step. I track calories, what do some of you guys do?

I got crossfaded along with a friend of mine at a little gathering we had at a coworker's house. During my drunken state I decided I was going to change when I recovered from my hangover. I'm now going back to the gym, stopped fapping, going to church, and quit smoking and drinking for good. The thought of alcohol now repulses me and like someone said earlier, weed makes me okay with being lazy. If I can get a good work schedule going I want to start doing jui jitsu this coming year. I'm honestly looking forward to the future

Bump. Good luck until Faggot mods ban you. Happy New year everyone.

The first step to success is to start NoFap. Increased T levels, confidence, energy and overall feeling of masculinity really help with any task you shall embark upon.
Also remember to exercise, even if it means to do some pushups, pullups and maybe dumbbell curls.

Eat healthy, don't drink soft drinks, cut off sweets (except for dark chocolate), fastfood, alcohol and cigarettes (the last two are okey but only in small quantities).

Start reading a book and actually finish it. What I can recommend are:
>White Power by GLR
>Mein Kampf by AH

These two are redpills so massive, that they will change the way you perceive the world even if you considered yourself redpilled prior. They will also increase your ability to voice your views more coherently without sounding like a psycho fedora.

Make this a good year anons. I'm looking forward to it, I've made a little spreadsheet so I can keep track of my goals and stuff. I've been improving all year, fapping less, reading more, wasting less time, going back to church again, I have a bunch of projects lined up for my free time and I'm fucking ready for 2019.

Good luck lads, we're gonna make it

I’d genuinely be interested in helping out the Boers. Let me know if you go, well start something great user

>>Mein Kampf by AH
let's be honest here, Hitler certainly wasn't a good writer.

bump

>t. read some shitty translation of Mein Kampf done by a jew

Which translation do you recommend. Serious question

>47 days into NoFap
>Started going to the gym 2 months ago


I'm still struggling with the addict's thinking of trying to find excuses to go back to the pixel oy vey, but so far so good.

I went to church for the first time in 15 years. You can do it too. Never give in to nihilism.

Thanks, I miss seeing these threads everyday. It’s a helpful reminder to get off your ass and go excerise and stick to a proper diet. In 2019, I’ll be getting back into shape.

Congrats to both of you , keep it going

I'm only 47 days in but my anxiety levels have dropped significantly, I couldn't maintain eye contact for more than a few seconds, now I can maintain eye contact for most of the conversation, I used to think about stuff that I messed up or even conversations that took place excessively, I believe OCD is what it's called that disappeared, I had a 60 day streak back in July as soon as I started wanking again those symptoms came back, I'm not saying that everyone is the same, but for me it is and will always be extremely harmful, I went to a psychiatrist about my anxiety, he gave me Xanax, I took them and It didn't really help me as much as quitting porn has.

I started this year off at 310 lb (6' 4") and I'm now at 230 lb. I've spent more time this year bettering myself mentally too. I'm finally starting to get my act together and I even know what I want to do with my life now (went back to college to study biology/genetics). Next year I hope to lose the rest of this fat early enough in the year and move onto bulking up.

Thank you /sig/. You gave me the push I finally needed to improve myself and I'm starting to see the results. I look better and I'm gaining more confidence in myself. I changed my diet, don't drink alcohol anymore, started a garden earlier this year, and started reading more. I even got myself an actual job, but I had to quit 2 months in to make time for college. I've tried to get rid of porn, but it's been hard and I slip up from time to time. The problem is that I don't want to attempt to get a girlfriend until I improve myself more and it's hard to get rid of porn without a gf to replace it with. Again, thank you /sig/ and I wish you luck in the upcoming year.

What did he mean by this?

When you're a successful male with a good thing going - females will be attracted to you without you attempting to be explicitly attractive.

That the gf will come if he focuses on what he said above. About NoFap, You will fail a lot, don't be discouraged, replace the wanking habit with something else, addiction moves laterally so if you can replace one unhealthy habit with a healthy one it's awesome, for me it was going to the gym, if you don't want to , get the home workout app and do stuff from there , I don't believe in blocking porn sites because you will always bypass those ( I did it a bunch of times) , track your progress, the pic is what I use to track mine, always remember why you started in the first place , don't give into your thoughts , you will always try to find excuses why to wank one out, ignore them, good luck.

you know

Don’t wait till 2019. Start right now

This

The hardest part of nofap is the first month. After that its a piece of cake. So I can't really blame people for failing but just keeping trying and always try to beat your previous record.

I was also thinking about making the trip to South Africa for similar reasons, but I hear Ireland is about to blow up even before France.

I've got a lot going for me to be thankful for. I am having trouble with taking it for granted with my shortsightedness.
>Halfway through a stem degree
>Recent re-enlistment into the military
>In a fruitful relationship with a beautiful lady of homogenous heritage.
>Good health
I aim to not take these things for granted and remain content whilst also striving to improve my life's standing.
