to have a meaningful impact you need to quit shitposting and anime
best of luck to you my friend.
If you need something like July 1st or any other date that lies in the future, you're not gonna make it. You have to stop now. Not tomorrow, not next week, now. Dates and time don't mean anything
this.
if you were serious you wouldn't be putting it off.
you also probably wouldn't feel the need to talk about it on a public forum.
>Whatever rules you have adopted, abide by them as laws, and as if you would be impious to transgress them; and do not regard what any one says of you, for this, after all, is no concern of yours. How long, then, will you delay to demand of yourself the noblest improvements, and in no instance to transgress the judgments of reason? You have received the philosophic principles with which you ought to be conversant; and you have been conversant with them. For what other master, then, do you wait as an excuse for this delay in self-reformation? 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 to accomplish nothing, and, living and dying, remain of vulgar mind. 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, glory or disgrace, be set before you, remember that now is the combat, now the Olympiad comes on, nor can it be put off; and that by one failure and defeat honor may be lost - or won.
Reminder that monkmode includes:
No phone
No computer
No tv
No music
On top of what you already posted. Near impossible today but if you pull it off you'll become a god
What's negative about music?
Nothing that guy is a retard. As a monk youre still allowed to enjoy art, films, music, literature, in which you find God and inspiration.
you want to reset your dopamine pathways not compensate for a lack of stimulus from phone, computer tv, with more music
seeya in 2 days when you eventually fail and relapse on literally all of those things, OP
Dude that is impossible you’d have to be a NEET or some sort of non-professional for that to work, even though I get where you are coming from thats impractical. In uni and especially corporateland, how can you possibly go without phone or computer?
Crucial post, user.
This user is right
I'm very dedicated to self-improvement and I live a very austere life, I don't know if this is "monk mode" but I do need tons of self-discipline and it didn't come easy because I was a total procrastinating failure a few years ago.
So given that, let me give you some advice, because you know it comes from someone with similar goals and problems as you:
Don't do nofap. Total abstinence will do more harm than good. Reduce it to 1x/week because you get a proven test spike, and if you're struggling with self-discipline you can use it as reward.
Don't quit porn. If you're stuck in some endless porn-masturbation cycle porn can be bad, but if you just watch it, it can be good. Studies prove it raises test and helps your lifts if you watch it before a workout.
I would not quit meds. If you were told to take them that means you have a condition and in order to function properly on daily tasks, you need them. Facing this condition soberly, coupled with abstinence from meds, will add a lot of chaos through your daily routine and derail the whole project. Leave the abandonment of medicine for a period where you have your habits and routine figured out and embedded into your subconscious, that's what I did with antidepressants.
Don't try to quit everything/start doing everything at once. That approaches tend to fail. If I were you, I'd break every goal into steps. If you want to, say, eat well, you can make step one quitting sugar and crap food, step two eating more protein, step three taking supplements, step four counting calories, step five educating yourself on how to eat for better gains, step six implementing that, etc. Each week you take a step. You should use some spreadsheet program to make a table of those, and give yourself goals for at least the next couple of months. But make sure no step (or combination of weekly steps) is too overwhelming. You can use the same method for gradually decreasing the consumption of whatever you can't go cold turkey with.
>Don't quit porn. If you're stuck in some endless porn-masturbation cycle porn can be bad, but if you just watch it, it can be good. Studies prove it raises test and helps your lifts if you watch it before a workout.
Bullshit
There's literally nothing good about porn.
OP watch this: hooktube.com
I'll pray for you, user. Tomorrow I'm dropping acid and start a week long water fast. My list is like yours, but stops before cocaine.
Its about not using it recreationally. You can use it for work but mindlessly browsing youtube and facebook is bad
Don't forget that that it also includes:
No clothes
No speaking
No food
No oxygen
QUIT.
DIE.
FUCKING JEW DIE DIE DIE
>another boomer falls for the Jordan "clean your room" Peterson cbt memes
DIE DIE DIE
What the fuck are you talking about compensation? Listening to music is an inherently good thing. It'll give you new impulses
>caffeine
>Listening to music is an inherently good thing. It'll give you new impulses
LIES
Quitting those benzos cold turkey is a terrible idea. Not only for your goal here, because thats going to make you an anxious mess and you will be absolutely retarded socially and feel agoraphobic. Its also pretty dangerous and you could fall into repeated seizures and die. Talk to your doctor. If he doesnt know how to schedule a taper, leave the office and find a new doctor.
>Using a fap as a reward
Literal cuck self-conditioning
>but if you pull it off you'll become a god
No, youll be an unrelatable social pariah. Your only friends would be amish people and psychopaths like the unabomber. Maybe a few offbeat superhippes as well, if your lucky. Social isolation is on and improvement.
Unironically great company. But it has to come naturally from within, not force it form the outside like 90% of posters ITT are trying to do
Why is looking at pictures of naked women bad if you don't masturbate to them?
If you truly wanted to do this you would start right now instead of setting a date, so like the New Years resolutioners you are destined to fail.

Never gonna make it
Monks are famous for making and drinking beer.
They invented an especially rich type of beer (Bock) to drink during fasting, because it doesn't count when you drink your calories.
Says so in the Bible.
Exactly. Basically if you don't regularly do 40 day fast & complete isolation in desert drills you are not going to make it, OP.
But you are allowed to drink malt liqueur, because the pope said that's ok in the 17th century.
yes thats the sign if you can make it or not
hey rabbi
Do you have the first interview without that retarded video? Only the sound and also without the background music?
