SELF-IMPROVEMENT GENERAL - /SIG/ - THE CULT OF THE BODY EDITION

Which do you want more? Acceptance of others or acceptance of yourself? Which is more useful? What is the ONE constant in your life?


/sig/ Basics:
>YOU are 100% responsible for the way you experience life. Not your parents, not your surroundings, not your ex, not your bully, not your future spouse. YOU. Complete, sincere acceptance of this is the most fundamental step to bettering yourself, and it is by far the hardest thing you'll ever do.
>Set realistic Goals and have a Plan.
>Meditate ( Guide: youtu.be/F0jedwTzIJg - important: relax your jaw, lips almost parted ).
>Learn helpful and effective daily/weekly/etc. routines, including mundane ones. Use digital Calendar reminders.
>Have a steady sleeping rhythm - one that works for you, so long as you keep to it.
>Learn to be Brutally Honest with yourself. Stop being a slave to your Ego.
>Focus on the essentials. If you try to do everything at once, you’ll burnout. Little by little.

Shit man, you got me on the first one.

Rememeber mos powerfull man in history stoped masturbating when they were teens, neither Adolf nor Trump masturbate since then

>Source: my ass.

the first point is a bit of an overexxageration, the bit on trump and hitler is real though

Well, in any case is a extremly waste of energy and testosterone, if you are a elite sportist 100% warranty your trainer will limitate your faps like 3/month

Based Irish

Not masturbating for more than 7 days has no benefits, since testosterone levels go back to normal. (they do increase in the initial days)

Why should I take a cold shower ?

Bost Testosterone levels, makes you feel like a ubermensch, and give you discipline.
The first ones maybe will not be easy, butt it s totally worth it

But increase your discipline and selfconfidence

should you gradually decrease it or do Dead-Cold shower 1st off

Today marks exactly two weeks of no smoking weed. I started reading 10 pages a day a few days ago, and I deleted my YouTube account around the same time. Just wanted to share.

you sound like a complete faggot

>school of life

>I deleted my YouTube account around the same time
Based bro, i m still adicted, but every body a little less, at the moment is only due music why i still there

Delete it. I still use YouTube, I just don't have the ability to comment or get notifications from subscriptions anymore. It makes more of a difference than you would realize before doing so.

>Cold showers
What about heat proteins? I mean the entire caloric process is thermal in nature.

Also
>Social interactions
I work 12 hr shifts at night as a security guard, How am I to overcome this? Even at the gym no one is there when I go.

Get a different job. The night shift fucks you up.

How do I stop being so cold all the time? I don't really value anything/get emotionally affected by it up to and including my own life and additionally treat everything as a means to an end so I haven't actually relaxed in years. Not at risk of killing myself but I really hate going through life like this since it feels like I'm tensed up all the time, what do I do?

You don't know that virgin

I cant right now, I agree though I loved days much more.I do get 12hrs to basically read or study or lift when I want though so its not an entire loss.

Hold out until you can. I know it's easier said than done, but I used to deliver pizzas at night and switching to the day shift made all the difference.

I knew she was gross but damn. Smart people always have weird taste.

Amazing. I thought we had lost /sig/ forever.

I hope I see this general make a real comeback.

>Learn to be Brutally Honest with yourself

Sounds like a fast track way to commit suicide.

how do build muscle at home with little to no equipment?

>started full time work instead of dicking around part time
>quit weed and booze
>losing weight, working out

my environment is still a disaster but i'll get on it. i don't know why i'm such an unbelievable slob

still haven't found much to do with my free time but hopefully i'll have some weight loss progress to show in a few weeks. been taking a piv every day, hope to make a cool webm or something where i morph

Hitler is believable, but please post source on Trump?

Bodyweight/calisthenics routines. Buy a pull up bar, resistance bands and some gymnastic rings, find a routine (reddit actually has a decent bodyweight routine) and get to it. You'll probably not get as big as if you went to the gym (though you could buy some weights), but you'll get strong af and build a decent amount of muscle.

Extreme nofap Redpill
>Professor von Gruber of Munich, an eminent European authority on sex, writing on "The Hygienic Significance of Marriage", says that it is absurd to regard the semen as an injurious secretion like the urine, which requires periodic evacuation, but as vital fluid which is not only reabsorbed during sexual abstention, but this reabsorption appears to have a beneficial effect on the physiological economy, as shown by the large number of intellectual geniuses who have led continent lives. Dr. Bernard S. Talmey, an eminent American gynecologist and authority on sex, expresses a similar opinion, and states that in the absence of sexually exciting stimuli, the semen and spermatozoa are produced in smaller amounts and are completely resorbed through the seminal vesicles, so that continence becomes easy and natural; the conservation of this vital fluid, he claims, is necessary for the attainment of the greatest vigor of body and brain, while its loss is harmful, and a man may live through a lifetime in a state of complete continence, without injury, but only with benefit, as proven in the case of such men as Leonardo da Vinci, Kant, Beethoven, Spencer, etc.

bump

chronic constipation, impaction, leading to bladder pain and extreme discomfort that basically caused me to completely retreat from the world for the last 2 years

could be UC or some kind of inflammation. found medication that helps but gonna try and fix it via diet. i figure if i'm not eating fiber, your body "absorbs" most meat and fat passes easily, carnivore would be best

Has anyone “learned” to be extroverted through later in life?

If you want to help, enter the discord server were we are writting /sig threads copypaste and in the future making OC

I deleted discord. Having discord around is a net negative.

I m tryng to use it only on weekend to avoid getting stuck wasting time with social media like discord

bumping for SIG. c'mon boys

"I'll only do it on the weekend" is how I relapsed on weed on two quitting attempts. That's the gamer/social media addict equivalent of "just one hit."

Well in my case is to help other anons in /sig server, i feel that responsibility

Really?

based bro

I've found that having discord around is almost always more counterproductive to /sig/ than just deleting it. This is coming from someone who has tried multiple /sig/ servers.

I believe that is a prop; MSR isn't the kind of man who'd smoe

Cold showers isn't a rule. The evidence is mixed in terms of their safety.

So is better to wast hours here than enter a server to just talk /sig ever time you need?
Quit the other servers and discord will be useful, also /sig threads on pol are dying

Just as long as you can actually trust yourself to not rejoin servers or go out and look for new servers. The main issue that people who struggle with /sig/ have is discipline. Different people have different amounts of it. If you don't have the discipline to control yourself, you need to be honest with yourself about it.

Why don't you start?

What's the fastest way to lose weight fast, I need to for upcoming surgery. Is sprinting still regarded as the best method? I tried fasting for days and it made no difference.

What are some good introductionry books or resources on how to run a business? I think you should include this in the OP, I'm sure many people are curious, Jow Forums has been garbage since the crypto bubble burst.

>I tried fasting for days
Never quit that good habit, go full cardio and only eat healty food, 0%junk

I don't know how fasting didn't make a difference for you. I fasted for 2 days and lost 4kg, overwhelmingly fat. Was looking aesthetic as fuck.

Have you ever been in love, user?
I felt what having someone to protect and to care for as more than a mean to an end when I got my first girlfriend.

I'm a monarchist, but lately I've been tempted by national socialism. What do I do? do I embrace it? Do I resist it?

Why does nat soc appeal to you?

I just love the idea of putting my country first, protecting our borders/workers/infrastructure/healthcare/environment etc. basically setting a good foundation and passing it onto our children and grandchildren.

Keep the good work.

Read until you have a clear idea of both. Then decide.

I'll dump some rolls.

Attached: 1532064366343.png (1920x1080, 1.6M)

That’s kind of what I expected. Wanting to put your country and people first is honorable. However, you have to make sure that the systems you put in place actually benefit them. People usually go to national socialism because they see how global capitalism is exploitative and dehumanizing. I would say that national capitalism does more for its people than global capitalism (and also national socialism). My example of national capitalism would be Henry Clay’s American System. My take aside, I urge you too look deeper into these things yourself.

Oh boy let's see how this goes

Wakes you up real fucking fast

Some general sig advice: the transition is always the the most difficult part of improving. For example: being in the state of not masturbating is easy, the hard part is the two or three months of changing to that state, then you’re good FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. This also goes for things such as unhealthy food, digital entertainment, etc.

>>YOU are 100% responsible for the way you experience life.
This is a great viewpoint. Why are you merging it with an ideology that wants to bring government oversight into most facets of life?

Weird how people who want to be submissive to an authoritarian government are the same ones who call others “cucks.”
