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.

>>6135153 Does writing a novel for the sake of seeing if I could count as self improvement? I've been dealing with a back injury so I've had a bit of time to just sit around. I'm not sure if it is any good but I had fun writing it. Might try it again some time.

>>6135160 I've been thinking about it, but I would have to get it edited first. Well actually I would probably have to transcribe it onto a digital format first. I wrote it on paper with a pen. I found the act of physically writing it kind of therapeutic. Much different than typing.

>>6135153 been going to the gym for the past 6 months (3 or 4 times a week). Gained more than 8 kg in total and for the first time in my adult life I can actually see myself in a totally different light. I was always slim-athletic when growing up, due to sports and shit, but I was never actually athletic muscular. Most guys don't even fucking realize how much of an ego-boost going to the gym actually is, and how much it helps you in the long term (as you have to stay dedicated to your workout routine and your diet).
After 6 months of going to the gym, I honestly know that I'll never fucking stop. It's good for my body and my mind. I have more confidence now and more stamina, and truth be told even my anti-social behavior has greatly diminished.
tl;dr gym+books works wonders. And believe me - when you'll see yourself after a couple of months in a mirror, you'll never want to fucking stop.
Don't kid yourself thinking that you need someone to go to the gym with. Just grow a spine and go by yourself, those 2 hours at a gym are essentially a time when you're all by yourself, working out and relaxing your mind in the same time.

Take your iodine faggots
Iodine is a necessary nutrient for your body.

Start intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting and/or ketogenic diets, sometimes in combination with chemotherapy, may slow or stop tumor growth—and perhaps even protect normal cells > Plato wrote that he did some of his best thinking while fasting. Upton Sinclair wrote “A Fasting Cure,” and even Mark Twain touted the benefits of fasting Benefits of Fasting: Increase of neuro genesis, elimination of toxins, better sleep and focus, longevity and energy.

>>6135189 It's a LARP. Google the text and find the source where this originated. Some people tried it and felt no difference. Other people said your iodine must be laced with drugs. There was a guy on the same page who said it was extremely harmful in excess. Don't do some stupid shit. Especially shit you found on /pol/
Anonymous
Alright you fags I'll try nofap, currently fapping 3-4 times a day and I always have some sort of brain fog, difficulty in concentrating, and impulse to just laze away the day. Can't hurt to try right? Should see results in a week or so (before it slumps again), right?
However I will say I have my doubts, a human becoming useless when having sex once or more a day would be counter-productive, it would lead to decreased chance of survival of the offspring. If anything it sounds like it would only really work on people who already have test problems due to shitty lifestyle, and nofap sends your mating instincts (pushed by higher test) into overdrive (because you don't have a mate and your main reason for being is to find one), something that wouldn't be needed with a healthy lifestyle.
>>6135190 >>6135193 Iodine is undeniably good for you but adding some kombu and iodized salt to your diet is all you need. Don't go fucking chugging iodine like a sports drink or sprinkling it on every dish you eat.

You will feel more confident and motivated to do stuff. Not only related to girls, but in general. The urge for sexual release is there for a reason, its there to drive you towards success, if you just self satisfy then that drive is gone.

Honestly nofap shouldn't be in these threads but kikes and retards keep making the OP.

>>6135199 it's like you want to be retarded, anon. First of, are you that much of a fucking emasculated cuck that you literally can't work out without thinking of the other men in the gym? Second of, you do fucking realize that the men:women ratio is usually at 50:50, especially if you're going at a gym that's not located at the outskirts of the city?

>>6135203 Do as many as you can in a minute, even if you need to stand, while resting as little as possible. Once pullups get impossible from fatigue, do negatives until you can't. The minute should be up by this time; if not, grab an exercise band and do pulls until the minute is up.
Alternate work days with rest until you can hit 15-20 comfortably. At that point, you're more than ready to start throwing weights on the belt.
