I stopped fucking hookers 3 months ago
Sorry to hear that, bro.
unlucky
I'm glad to hear that user. How are you holding up otherwise?
anybody here meditate?
care to share you your experience with it + benefit
I just want to die
Not really meditation, but my boss swears by it, and credits it for turning around a nursing unit with really shit outcomes into a nursing unit with pretty damn good outcomes in an economically depressed area. (pardon the awkwardness)
So I guess it's good. Was gonna try it.
why
>fuck you captcha fuck you fuck you fuck you
There's nothing to look forward to and I'm at the point that I don't even want to try anymore
Ya I do a bit of that. twenty minutes before I go to bed. No app, just start a stopwatch and focus on nothing but breathing.
After you really get the hang of it, you can find some relief from severe negative feelings, and with practice, you know where to go mentally when you get the urge to either ruminate or watch porn/masturbate.
Make it so that there's something to look forward to brah.
It really helped me beat anxiety whenever I felt it. My method is Eckhart Tolle's (look it up for more info).
The way I can communicate is saying it's like progressively overloading your ability to be conscious of the now.

Anyone else blooming due to society locking down?
I'm staying disciplined with NoFap, but I can't motivate myself to do home exercise. I'm on my couch most of the day. With little energy expenditure, my sleep hasn't been as good lately. Now I'm less energized during the day. By back is starting to hurt from all the couch time.
>lest us be the bloomer of the modern world
>let's us rise like phoenix from the ashes and the dust Yas Forums
Go for runs nigger
Make a user on endomondo
Go to their website and crate your own route that you want to complete
Go for it and keep improving your times. The endorphins from running along with nofap will make you rise above humanity.
I was a disgusting sloppy NEET before the lockdown. The happening has awoken me
No need to worry. You'll die soon enough. But until then make something of yourself.

How do I get out of this? I want to fix myself?
I’m thinking of joining the Navy, too. That’s given me some motivation.
I felt that entire greentext brah, everything except gf because I'm a virgin. I'm in the Air Force rn and honestly joining the military isn't a miracle pill, you still have to take the steps to achieve true individuation. The 'discipline' won't force it on you and honestly you won't get that super strict discipline you are envisioning after boot unless you're in the Marines, maybe Army. I can say that joining the military completely erased my social anxiety and fear of others though. I'm perfectly content being myself or acting 'weird' around others. I learned nobody really gives a fuck as long as you pull it off confidently, and if you pull it off confidently people actually like you more for being that confident guy who broke free of the matrix. Look into Carl Jung and Academy of Ideas on YouTube, Jung has made the biggest difference in my spiritual awakening although I've only just started walking the endless path.
Do you guys have any studying guides ?
If you stop the coomin you will fix the rest
>cooming all the time
>unhappy
>angry
hmmm
please no bully but am i supposed to lift lighter some days? I've only been lifting for a month and I really like squat so i just do like 180-90 for 3x5-7. my max is 215. im doing other stuff too like bench row and dl but I'm just super tired all the time and I haven't really been progressing
Do some home workouts, keeping consistent is more important than your gains rn since it's quarantine.
You're not sick, your life isn't over.
Take time to evaluate why you feel the way you do, what insecurities or traumas are you not addressing, and what you can do to be better to yourself and other people.
Chin up king.
Pic unrelated I just think it's funny
What would you like to look forward to?
Listen to body fren. It's time to take a few days off and eat more. If it makes you salivate and isn't sugary/yeasty shit, your body wants that.
I already posted in This thread but how do I stop cooming? It’s so hard when you’re home alone 24/7. I used to have a GF which helped me vent my pent up...uh...boners, but now I don’t.
Pic is me. I’m too bulky to have a six pack, and too skinny to cut. I was thinking of cutting anyways to get a six pack
Dying
>coom
you're shedding selenium, zinc, vit E, proteins, glucose, etc. all of this is important to mental, liver, blood, neuro health

this is kind of a shit source but it gets you going

>anger
eastern medicine holds that anger is mediated through the liver, are you being kind to your liver? they're called angry drunks for a reason.
do you wish to struggle to find your answer anymore, user?
You're craving physical activity. Go clean something. Find some shit to sell on eBay. I'd say work out, but you want something productive. Get a hammer and smash two planks together.
Start dry fapping without porn or any other kind of enhancers.
Only do it before you sleep.
Take a long shower morning and evening.
When you feel ready stop dry fapping and just do not fap for one entire day.
Use the pride to keep not fapping. Increase showers to make you feel clean.
Do cardio outside to release natural endorphins which help fight the brain yelling for dopamine
Remind yourself that when your lizard brain tries to trick you into just one fap it will turn into 9 billion faps that will fry your brain for years
how are you single, seriously. your body looks fire, mirin. i think if you cut, it would be the icing on the cake. you're already above the average guy where i live anyways
Like you wouldn't believe. I haven't had solitude in years, and now I finally have a moment to reassess shit.
>Finally getting back to working out after getting a shit office job.
>Stopped cooming as of last week
>Still reading a book a week, have been since the beginning of the year
>Finished about 5 projects for my passion this week after years of procrastination and being too much of a pussy to commit- looking at about 30 finished projects by the end of the month if I keep this up.
>Reconnecting with family and helping gf with anxiety
>Working full-time remotely
I'm gonna start waking up an hour earlier so I can meditate again and get my mindset right for the day. This is gonna require a lot of willpower to maintain, but I'm so fucking tired of pissing my life away. I gotta get my habits established so my lifestyle is automatically a productive one.
Based, all the Kings are going to make it this plague season
Every time you get the urge to coom do one of these:
>run or sprint
>ten pushups
>say a prayer
>sit down and meditate
this is gonna sound retarded, but after meditating for 10 minutes i feel like im carrying around an energy potion or something, like whenever im tired i just think back to meditating and boom +20% energy.
Should I still worry about gains during this quarantine or should I just go back to running long distances, having some fun and doing some BJJ mobility drills?
Gyms will probably be closed until June here
Focus on bodyweight progression to maintain your strength, otherwise stretch and use this time to recover your muscles for heavy lifting when you get back
Any tips on a good bodyweight routine?
>always put a lot of value into relationships and sex
>always take my time when going for a girl and it never working out
>realise that most girls think most guys just want to fuck them

>I need to make sure that the girl knows I want the poon
>start going hard on tinder trying to score as much as I can
>corona virus cockblocks me
Trying to stay away from hardcore porn and reset myself to being turned on and get off on normal sex. Would a fleshlight and Facebook photos be a good mental supplement until I can start going poon hunting again?
what do you guys think to this thing that i made
I have been struggling with this dilemma for quiet a bit and I wanted to know what you guys think. So basically how do you find fulfillment from forming connections and relationships with others when people inherently try to be superficial
bodyweight bro, your mind will remember and your muscles will come back quicker, quit porn, quit fapping and get out of that rut, even if you do really basic bitch workouts and don’t increase weights studies have shown that you can retain mass
i did
10days 10 min
then
10 days 15 min
then
10 days 20min
waste of 30 days was my experience
Just cut all masturbation out entirely. Intentionally deprive yourself. You will be stronger for it.
It's funny, the more the world seems to be falling apart, the more focus and drive I have.

>Fixed my sleep schedule

Being on the path of making it again after being a loser for so long feels so fucking good.
I got a job!!
2 months of unemployment, savings burned through, about to sell my pride and joy car, half assing workouts, getting depressed, corona panic making everyone unemployed and flooding job market but I'm back on track guys. Broke all my pathetic prs the other night as well.
I'm making it right guys?
Well done user, now keep it up
What is a good time dump that involves skill? I've been so used to playing video games with extreme skill ceilings that now I can't stand doing much else irl if it doesn't allow me a long and difficult journey of improvement.
So far I've started learning languages, learning instruments, and improving my cardio. However I feel like I need something to do (aside from vidya) to do when I'm awake at night and can't afford to make a lot of noise, nor use lots of physical energy/effort similar to that of lifting or running.
Theres no way that guy is considerably that good. Otherwise i'd be calling my friends and I all gods.
But really, is that sort of body that impressive? Maybe im just out of touch with reality and hold myself to extreme requirements.
Just down some caffeine and reset your sleep cycle hard.
Alternatively do a brutal cardio and bodyweight workout and exhaust yourself physically and take some melatonin to sleep.
Guitar is pretty challenging, and has a high skill ceiling
Stop the fucking cooming
Learn programming
I've actually recently looked into that, I managed to make a basic calculator with C#, however I am struggling to figure out what to do now, as in, I don't know what to try to make or where to go to find new information. Is there some way I can figure out what other projects I should attempt at? Or rather, how do I find a new project/idea to embark on?
You can go on github and contribute to something on there
What does it mean?
that you should be way better than the norm
Give more book suggestions. I like to read for 30-60 minutes in the evening before going to bed to wind down and haven't got any new books to read. I've read the ones in the OP.
