/SIG/ Self- Improvement General >"did you miss me" edition
How is it going Jow Forums? The year is near its conclusion and I think it's time to think about how it went and what will you do next year to make it better. Personally, I tried not to browse Jow Forums too much and lead a healthier lifestyle: can't say I managed all the time (a recent break-up hit hard) but I'm still there. I was shocked when I got back here and found that the best general was no more so here it is: self improvement, much needed in these dark times. As always: you are working hard to better yourself and your nation, right user?
Must do list: Cold showers, nofap, 30 abd/day, mindfullness, study/read as minimum 2 hours

Uphold your honor as the highest virtue. Degeneracy, success and happiness are a choice. Remember one drop of poison turns a glass of water into poison.

My new years resolutions :
No alcohol in 2019 No large purchases Clear all debt
In 2017 I went on three holidays. To prevent wasting money, I have bought a cheap little hamster who is cheap and easy to mantain. As he requires daily attention, there is no way I can waste money on holidays for a good two years.
>12 days of no-fap and no-porn. >Gone running every morning and full of natural healthy dopamin. >No brain-fog, never felt so clear before >Boner so strong it can cut diamonds >Need to sleep naked because penis head has become more sensitive and requires air >Used to feel intimidated by beautiful girls looking or talking to me >Now I look them straight in the eyes >Never felt so easy waking up early >Never felt so easy falling a sleep at night >Don’t feel tired anymore
Next step is being more productive. Not feeling anxiety sending and opening emails, contacting people and getting shit done. Also to start lifting, learning a new language and running longer distances
/SIG/ is unironically the single greatest thing Jow Forums has done for its own community, the white race (however any given Jow Forums poster decides to define it on any given day) and me. /SIG/ is the jumping off point that resulted in the reason I started working out, quit video games cold turkey (id play WoW since vanilla), lost weight, learnt the piano, now work a trade skill, passionately rekindled my relationship with my wife, and ultimately the reason I quit posting on Jow Forums and started spending my time on Jow Forums. God bless you /SIG/. Your inspiration to better myself completely turned things around. Jow Forums was a seething spiteful blackpill until you showed a better way. Your posters were kind and supportive, informative and passionate. I deleted ALL of my saved porn because of /SIG/. I quit my daily use of Jow Forums because of /SIG/.
And the degenerate mods will delete this thread in all likelihood. Despite the fact that Jow Forums is where /SIG/ is most needed and belongs. To the sons of /SIG/ I say unto you that Jow Forums still has these threads to this evening. Better yourselves for a better tomorrow.
i can almost see my abs but i get really agitated and angry when doing planks, something about them makes me irrationally angry I want to go for a morning run but it’s gonna be 30 degrees tomorrow at 6am

You are not alone in this war brother.
Stay away from degeneracy. Start exercising. It is the root of everything bad in your life.
HOW TO GET THEM DONE: 1. Study AT MINIMUM 30 mins every day. IDEAL 1 hour a day 2. LEARN PYTHON/COMP SCI ALGORITHMS (Practice at least 30 mins every day) 3. GO TO PYTHON/DATA ANALYSIS MEETUPS and JOB FAIRS. Even though Job Fairs can be a waste of time, I hope to communicate my abilities as an entry level employee (hard working, good communication skills)
SUB GOALS: 1. Learn to cook low carb/sugar and high protein/fat meals for every part of the day. 2. Workout and stretch at least 3x a week (1hr workout, 30 mins stretching after) 3. Read a book a month
I feel like I'm gonna face some trials finding and landing the job, but nothing worth accomplishing is ever easy.
Pretty solid user. I hope you are exercising for something more than attracting the attention of women. I know I fell into that trap and it has recently come to bite me in the ass because I got a great gf and honestly women dont care how you're body looks as long as you're not overweight. Pushing through plateaus takes more than the carrot of pussy to motivate you along the way. Regardless you're looking good hombre.
>2. LEARN PYTHON/COMP SCI ALGORITHMS (Practice at least 30 mins every day)
Make that an hour a day at the minimum. Any skill you want to become proficient at requires at the bare minimum 10 hours a week, preferably 20 hours. In 20 years, you'd have accumulated 10,000 hours in that skill and can be considered a professional. 20,000 hours is usually considered to be mastery.

Oof just a mix of many things really. Mainly European/Native American. Probably got some negro in me for good measure, no more than 10% according to a family members 23 and me.
I 100% agree but seeing as a realistic goal would be just to get an entry level position, mastery is not needed at that level. I'm new to comp sci but not new to abstract thinking (maths major). As much as I like to jerk off to myself "being smart" I look forward to getting my ass kicked and putting in the work to learn.
I am on week 4 of my only attempt of no fap. I am really trying to work out and get cut, i'm not obese or fat but have skinny fat if you know what that is

Why should I waste my time on a whore? I would rather save myself for marriage. The thing is, that for some reason, women can not comprehend this choice. Ever since I got somewhat fit (pic related), they throw themselves at me. I'll give you an example. Once in a while, when my friends invite me to a party, a girl comes up to me, and offers a beer, or a smoke and I say no, because why would I destroy my body on my own accord? Then, after that, they orbit me for a while, inevitably offering some sort of sexual favour. When I say no for a second time, they really are stumped. They ask if it is religion, or sexuality, but when I tell them my morals are outside of that, they give me the thousand cock stare. They are so surprised that I could even *fathom* turning down 10 minutes with their warm, wet hole that they just shut off. They always get super pissed afterwards as well, because they know they can never reach me. Fuck them. Women are a reflection of their men, and if you chase pussy, then they will whore out. Easy as that.
Didn't mean to go off on you, just my thoughts. I am the same guy, by the way. Just came home from rabbit hunting.
I like the hampster idea. I have aquarium fish and become expensive because you keep getting all this aquarium gear. Neat thing I saw was a weird guy who was working on making an underwater hampster habitat. Kinda like rapture from bioshock but for hampsters.

Notice how this thread appears whenever there's a big story pulling traffic to Jow Forums. The only point of this thread is to make Jow Forums look like a bunch of fat losers who need dad advice and nothing more. Take a quick look at the other posts, they're either short and pointless, obvious copypasta, roll images, roll responses, or other empty nonsense (i love sig!, it's great to see this again! I'm such a loser plz help! how do i make women touch my penis? damn mods keep deleting good threads!) etc etc.
They will call me a jew for this, they always do. But think, who would post such a thread here where it doesn't belong and where it ultimately just makes us look bad? Why does it belong here and not on Jow Forums or Jow Forums? Why do the mods constantly throw it in the trash only for the posters to shriek and curse them every single time?
This thread is blackmail. The sooner the mods blacklist it the better.
Dont worry about it user not offended. I have a couple friends like you so I understand where you're coming from. In my experience, even the most devout Christians have severe difficulty staying celibate when dating. So I think you'd be better off finding a great quality gf then finding someone to save yourselves for marriage with. In any case hope the hunt went well. Very jealous you can hunt.

We all have 168 hours in a week, friend; you just need to dictate where those hours go. I'll be the first to concede that you're more intelligent than I'll ever be But I've used that formula for a while now and can read and write in 5 different languages, them being: >Latin >Greek >English (native) >Spanish >Smattering of German
It also helps me fit about 4 books a month and save money on car repairs. Why would you want to get into programming? It's an area where the literal autist can flourish but quickly turns into drudgery for those just trying it out without any real purpose.

I just turned 23, and I'm still in the same fucking place physically as I was at 18. Fat fuck, can't stop jacking off, considering An Hero-ing since I can't seem to get my shit together and even if I did, the world is going to shit.
I want to change, /SIG/. I am going to change.
I just bought some basic workout supplements (never did that before) and I'm going to try a more carnivore focused diet. About to go the the gym for a modified form of Stronglifts (do all of the workouts in one day, 3x5).
At the very least, I'm pleased in how much I've read up and achieved academically in the past few years. I just need to make myself worthy of that achievement instead of relying on it as my only redeeming point.
I need to keep up with meditation and the use of my SSRIs. I've been formally diagnosed with depression in the past 6 months, and have been keeping up with the use of those tactics sporadically. I would like to say that I can blame depression, or my family situation, or any other number of things for my physical failings, but I know at the end of the day I need to take responsibility for being a weak, fat, faggot.
Good luck, /SIG/.

Rn I'm just looking at the job prospects. I'm not from Colombia, just visiting family here. I dont find graduate school in pure mathematics a viable option atm. Programming is just the way of the land if you at all want to be employed and quality salary with mathematics. Data Science and Analysis seems to be the most viable and future proof career. Also highest potential to transition into another field should I find a specific sub-discipline or intellectual pursuit that is worth going for.
4 books a month is impressive user, what books have you reread, if any at all?

Anyone know how to handle no-fap? I got 17 days before cracking it was a major improvement. My biggest problems during that time period was increased aggression, wanting to fap, and it made me really want kids for some reason.

>4 books a month is impressive user, what books have you reread, if any at all? I used to engorge myself on fantasy and scifi books when I was a kid and a teenager. I think the most I read was about 1,200 pages in one day. It was a very dull, uninspired Counte of Monte Carlo knockoff.
Nowadays, I almost exclusively pick up books about running a church. A lot of my books deal with laws, finances, segregation, history, dating, marriage, child-rearing, courtship, and textual variants. The only ones I reread are anything that have to do with history or textual variants. The history is because a lot of my books have citations which I -use to prove a point, and the textual variants are just so information-dense, I need to have a composition notebook and a few reference books open. Sometimes I'll pick up a random book for pleasure reading (1828 Webster dictionary for etymology) or curiosity (Pawns in the Game by William Carr.)
Other than that

While there's the chance that you're right, I don't get the feeling. Let's face it; most people on Jow Forums has been maladjusted to this sick world at some point in their life. I actually think Jow Forumsacks are the /b/tards that on average were more likely to get their shit together. Maybe I'm projecting my own transformation: from awkward teen with no social skills, to a man that's above average in every way. I see /sig/ as as gift from those who are getting close to ''making it'', helping those who are still in the abyss.
Our social environment greatly impact ourselves. If you feel that people around you are working hard on their goals, you're more likely to work harder too. Some anons who are still struggling in this world to make sense of it, might need a reminder to keep getting stronger for the hard times that will come.
