This thread endorses both physical fitness and the related mindset in order to promote healthy living for everyone

>YOU are 100% responsible for the way you experience life.
>That sounds factually incorrect, but I don't want to criticize your narrative here :P

It's an old philosophy- It's not saying you can literally control physical reality, its saying this:

If someone says something nasty to you, its not the words that make you feel terrible; its how your brain (and subsequently, you) react to the words that make you feel terrible. The reaction, not the words, are what illicit the emotion.The idea is that because its you that ultimately makes the "decision" to feel bad about something, you have the power to change that.

If you don't want words to hurt you? Don't let them.

Now, some may balk at that idea, because sometimes it feels like you can't help but feeling bad. But that was the argument; is that you actually can change the way you react to situations, even if it feels like you can't.

If you feel in the back of your head "sure this works for fluffy shit but if I get my arm cut off I'm gonna feel it and cry", but it even suggests facing the mortal end is within our control.

Giles Corey. Accused of witchcraft in Salem during the witch trials, sentenced to death by pressing (heavy boards put on you, rocks piled on over time until you squish to death). Gruesome:

"As a result of his refusal to plead, on September 17, Corey was subjected to the procedure by Sheriff George Corwin, but he was steadfast in that refusal, nor did he cry out in pain as the rocks were placed on the boards. After two days, Corey was asked three times to enter a plea, but each time he replied, "More weight," and the sheriff complied. Occasionally, Corwin would even stand on the stones himself. There are several accounts of Corey's last words. The most commonly told one is that he repeated his request for "more weight"

Not saying he was feeling like he was on a fluffy cloud, but it takes a particular mind to turn their death into a joke.

A good example of this is the monks who self immolated for protest.

Not a single squirm or scream, just a complete disconnect from the sensations of pain.

op, we can call it /sig/ now, the mods realized they were wrong

I'd say it's an extreme view to have, but it's true.
you are technically at fault for everything that happens to you.
it's for you to decide how much responsibility you want to take though

>I was hit by a falling brick because I went outside
Well yeah, but this line of thinking comes down to "I can avoid everything that happens to me by killing myself earlier, so everything that happens to me is at my command"
bravo

In any case, the quote said
>how you experience life

I feel like being born to heroin junkies, for example, makes it extremely hard to experience life like a librarian in 300bc Rome.
There is such a thing as exterior circumstance

Woa, someone is 1:1 posting my ususal posts, nice!

By the way, the archive got an update:

woa, are you the siganon who manages the archive.
I have so many questions..

I found posts about how to make an abortion with herbs or something, is that real? that sounds so stupid

also, i found a folder of a beavers option on a lot of things, i didnt really have time to read any of the things i skimmed though, but im intrigued, is he right, and who even was he?

also, and this might be the biggest question
>is that folder even useful..
do you guys really think that jeff bezos and elon musk have folders of motivations infographics on their pc..
or listened to random internet people on how to be successful

this all makes no sense bros

>I found posts about how to make an abortion with herbs or something, is that real?
certain plants are known to have a certain effect
that's why pregnant women should consume certain things in large quantities
just google every ingredient
I am not sure if every single plant listed is working, but I know that some of them are

>folder of a beavers option on a lot of things
there is now a folder named "transcripts" which has every beaver post as text for better readability (well, it isn't properly formatted yet)
Those posts I read gave a nice insight on the topic, even if he isn't 100% correct, his words are good to think about or at least to have heard that opinion.

>do you guys really think that jeff bezos and elon musk have folders of motivations infographics on their pc
back in their time, such things didn't really exists I think
but at least they have textbooks with good stuff written down, what they think is good, what helped them, their own kind of "archive"
they also picked up good things somewhere in life and either wrote it down or memorized it.

since my archive is gathered from Yas Forums and the internet, it consists of screencaps and greentexts
but this will change gradually when I am doing the re-formatting

we all have to start somewhere, with this work, I want to give people a first hand, something to grab on, something to start somewhere

*shouldn't consume !
with probably 50-100$ worth amount of the right seasoning (you read that right) you can induce an abortion
moral wise .... that's on you

>but this will change gradually when I am doing the re-formatting
woah, imagine a whole wiki dedicated to sig related information..

There's some things you can't blame yourself for, like getting beaten up as a child by your parents for no other reason, them beeing stressed.

You both misinterpret the quote. It's saying
>If someone says something nasty to you, its not the words that make you feel terrible; its how your brain (and subsequently, you) react to the words that make you feel terrible. The reaction, not the words, are what illicit the emotion.

Because literally everything you experience is a reaction to all things that happen to you, you can change your reaction, and therefore your experience, to pretty much anything.

You can cherry pick things here and there as contradictions, but the idea is a pretty strong one found in a lot of philosophies

A lot of these are dumb but the dumbest one is video games. Reading is not the opposite of video games. You can waste just as much time reading as you can gaming and video games are also good for your brain.

since I am doing it for free when the times allows it, it takes some time :(

But there is something in work:

So there are more pictures of this, huh

i was about to roast you and say vidya is a dead-end hobby but i took a second look at the chart and a lot of them are absolute bullshit.
>4:00 or graph of 8 hours sleep
what if i go to bed at 8PM retard?
>lonely dude or dude with gf
forcing yourself to be with someone doesn't mean self-improvement
>clothing
do you honestly think i give one fuck about how you think I dress? as long as clothes are neat and clean it doesn't matter. dude with the katana looks pretty clean and neat to me
>doodle people or fancier doodle
what?
>lawnmowing or raising crops
......

no wonder your queer threads get deleted

>taking everypoint literally by the picture instead of the meaning behind it
>using your few braincells and try to think for yourself just once

Can someone explain "throw down challenges"?
