Im going to give up Cred Forums.

How can I stay up to date with the news? Or should I just give up the news altogether?

Checked.

As for keeping up to date, I'd go to alternate media sources, be it on youtube or wherever else.

CHECK THIS

Describe your daily routine.

Trying to learn the GIMP so I can learn to make propaganda/infographics and stuff. Eventually maybe be a freelancer but that's just a wish for now.

After that fail Ill actually share some advice...

Go get a copy of 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene tomorrow (or today.) Read it twice--he's really the modern day everyman's Machiavelli.

Oh, and check these

Went back to school a couple years ago to try my hand at a non-shitty degree.

Found out quite by accident that I'm actually pretty decent at physics. I'm a PhD candidate now. So that's a step in the right direction.


Been working gradually on other self-improvement stuff - health and fitness, socializing more, etc, but there's only so many hours in a day and my coursework, research, and teaching responsibilities are currently eating up about 80 hours a week, so there's not much time for anything else.

Interesting. If you don't mind my asking, how much time do you make for Cred Forums on top of all of this?

Given your response, I can only assume you are taking some sort of studying break.

Damn, I didn't think there were any decent people around here lol.

I'll share this with you. I started looking into personal development about 6 or so years ago, since then I've developed my own methods and I'm beginning a business to share these techniques with a global audience. My work isn't ready yet, but I'll share an inspirational resource with you fine gents.

I'd like to, but (((They))) follow me to every job I get and use social engineering to get me fired...

I can usually stretch it to a couple of months, but eventually they get a management position and fire me.

It's hard to survive, to be honest.

stopped with my video game addiction
stopped with sugar and other shit food
but i can't stop porn how the hell can i stop jacking off?

I've been eating less than 1,000 calories each day for the past four days, I'd like to make this change permanent.

Be careful with that. Unless you're sedentary and don't move a lot, you'll eventually have muscle atrophy. Then you'll be light headed and have low energy. Depending on what you eat, you'll feel the effects sooner or later.

Drudge Report is really all you need if you want to stay up to date on current events and U.S politics

I'm at a desk 12 hours a day but I walk at least one mile at sunset.

guys, I've finally figured out what I want to do with my life. Unfortunately, I've already graduated from uni with a shit bachelors degree, and will need to go back to get my masters'. I'm going to start studying for the GRE, I'm just kind of stressed because I really don't like my current job very much, and am kind of worried about going into debt to do what I want. Also because what I want to do is probably going to be kind of tough to break into. idk I'm just kind of venting right now.

I'm going to do the same.

Just holding out till 8th November.

Meditation. It sounds goofy, but it's a good way to think. The silence slowly takes over as you begin to hear the tiniest details. Then topics come to your mind and you can understand these topics as issues to examine and possibly confront. It clears your mind and presents things that may be in the back of your head.

Split things up into two categories: Wants and Needs.

Needs, in my perspective, can be necessary wants. This includes the "need" to improve, the "need" to put time away to work out or read. Sometimes even, moderately, the need to relax (short amount of time).

Wants are useless desires that produce temporary pleasure and have no productive output. Acknowledge them, but do not give into them. "I don't need that."

What do you eat that totals 1000 calories?
What is your height and weight?
Why do you want to eat 1000 calories on average?

It's not about stopping to jerk off
It's about not watching porn but still jerking off once or twice a week using your imagination

In a similar position, more or less.

Last year I sunk into a depression resulting from my own stupidity (AKA drug binges). Like yourself I graduated with a shit degree. Considering teaching English abroad or something, not sure yet.

Do what you want to do though, as long as your goal won't jeopardize your ability to survive.

Hour or two a day, usually just after dinner or just before bed like tonight.

Weekdays I'm on campus at work usually 6-to-6, and then I'll usually spend another couple hours a night going over papers or finishing homework projects. I'll usually put in another 5-10 hours over the weekend. I've got a paper on complex plasmas I should probably finishing reading, but I needed a break so I'm shitposting on Cred Forums and watching Top Gear in the background for an hour or two before bed.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I don't have family anywhere near me or close friends. I'm constantly scared and lonely.
I haven't gone out to have a good time in almost 2 years due to health issues both mental and physical. I go to work and come home. That's it.
I am pretty irritable and morose most of the time, but I try to keep a positive attitude.
I'm 23 but I'm a loser with a shit job. I need to get an education but I'm not sure if it would do any good.
The past has shown me that I'm capable of interacting with people and forming meaningful relationships. So why do I feel compelled to isolate?
I fear schizophrenia or some kind of obsessive mental illness will totally envelope me and I'll eventually commit suicide.
Thanks for reading my blog post.

Sounds like a good balancing system. I need to get on that myself, balancing my shit out.

Quit porn and jack off to your own thoughts at first, then work out of that.

im giving up my internet and phone soon.

i tried to make myself useful, just completed an MBA, but im tired of looking at screens all day. im fucking tired of it pol. so i'll just take my investments and live off the dividends and read books all day

this sacrifice is equivalent to blowing up your career and in many ways your connection to modern society, but it must be done

i...sacrifice...the world

I'm planning on staying off the laptop more and spend more time reading and writing. I'm going to start each day at my typewriter and re-type up my "reaffirmation mantras" Scott Adams style.

Will report back to see if this helps or not.

Is that Power Armor?
The future or the past?

130lb 6 foot skeleton here.

Ever since me and my girlfriend of 4 year broke up I've been gaining weight for the first time in years.

Probably all the shitty beer I've been drinking.

I used to be somewhat /fit/ but I'm slipping guys.

Any advice to help me make my body great again?

I have no equipment, all I did to become somewhat /fit/ last time was to do pushups and situps every night until I was so tired I fell over.

Went from being able to do 15 in one set to 75 in two months. I want to do this again.

>keep up

I just come on Cred Forums for an hour two a day, at different times now.

It used to be like 24 hrs a day, but its 2 much, 2 much news, 2 much politics, I'm burned out.

Still love listening to guys like William Pierce on youtube though, always gets my jimmies rustled.

Is being a White supremacist okay for self improvement?

I don't care about other races, they can do their own think.


I only care about feeling better and superior about myself.

Mm. Well I was a depressed sack of shit for a long time until I figured myself out so I took up a bunch of hobbies. Hiking, painting, botany, cycling, woodworking, cooking, and I keep accumulating more. I went back to school and worked my ass off for a high gpa and got it all payed for with scholarships. Got myself /fit/ and founda girlfriend. And now I just mostly go on adventures, explore, and make cool stuff with my hands.

I've never been happier. I have the freedom to do basically anything I want to. And the drive and skill to do it. Feels good being able to support yourself on your own two feet. and I sleep really well these days

>working out
>learning python
>studying Spanish and German
>martial arts

Being a NEET is wonderful

The feelings of isolating yourself, been there many times.

The lack of in-person socialization can undoubtedly take its toll. Are there any town organizations near you, whether a martial arts group or outing group? Something of the sort?
