Tfw rest day

ch3ck3d

Booze and video games mostly.

God this thread made me sad. How do you guys not love doing nothing? Maybe it's because if I do it I deliberately have to skip something I planned to get done this day and then it feels like I have to enjoy the shit out of it, but man, sitting around, drinking coffee with a good book and maybe get a little sun in the park is the best.

If I'm resting it means there is nothing to distract me from the growing despair inside of me.

So what. Believe me there have been times where I didn't leave my bed for days, not even to get food. But in the great scale it's completly irrelevant if I lie there for days or years. The past is the worst Illusion ever conceived. Just stop nourishing the bad habits if you dont' want to. The world will keep turning anyway, you might as well get some nice sun on your face and the smell of pines in your nostrils.

I'm currently on my computer reading Veeky Forums and watching twitch streams.
To be honest i don't even like it, but i don't know what else to do.
It feels so uncomfortable to shut down my computer and do something else, i wouldn't even know what to do.

I knew this kid in college who was in his 12th year as a senior or some shit. The only classes he passed were where I did all the group work and got 100s for both of us. I remember being tired all the time because I used to work all the time then study. I wanted to quit working and I'd make excuses like ohh this way I can focus more on school work. Then I'd go to school and see this kid throw his life away semester after semester.
Biggest motivation of my life. I met up with this kid a few weeks ago. I graduated a free months back and he's still taking classes and failing them.
Anyway the best part is where he's actually a 38 year old dude who is like 100k+ in dept from going to like 5 universities. Has no job and lives with his mom who's using her 401k to support them both. Even if he does graduate, he's majoring in cs and can't write ANYTHING on his own. So he won't get past a single interview to get a job.
He'll invite me for drinks sometimes and use either his mom's money or his loan money to pay for it. I feel so bad I usually just spot him.

Anyway, don't turn into this guy. Get a hold of your life and do something. Take charge and work hard to be the man or woman you dreamed of being as a kid. Even if you don't make it, it will be more than this. You can die knowing that you tried and were better than this.

I never consume alcohol on lift days, so rest days are for beer and films.

Pathetic.

Rest days are for brain gains. Work on increasing heat rate variance by working on breathing.

I was there. I stopped doing it. I immidiatelly felt so much better. Now I only sit on the computer about 2 hours a day compared to the 12-16 I did previously.

Video games are a pointless time sink created to distract white men.
Twitch is fucking degenerate.
99.9% of online content is garbage and consuming it didn't make you feel any better, you're just hooked on scrolling down.

All I do online these days is red the news in the morning, check wikipedia occasionally and follow a couple youtube channels I enjoy like "the great war". My life is so much better now.

The library is literally FREE and can provide more entertainment and education than you can consume in a lifetime
>reading multiple books a week, continually become a more educated and wiser human being is degenerate
>working a menial task over and over again to be able to pay taxes and appease the jews is what you should be doing
>don't forget to do as many impulse purchases as possible to feel good for a minute
reconsider your view of the world

What should i do with my time instead?
I don't know why i'm so scared of turning off my computer. it's probably the thought of being able to hear my brain screaming at me, not being able to numb it with entertainment

I do accessory work on my rest days and just do what I regularly do.
Uni work, jerking off, programming and watching weeb shit.

What have you accomplished?

I started reading again after having read barely anything in over decade since we got broadband internet. Turns out there's a lot of books that a 12 year old me wouldn't have appreciated. I go on walks and observe the world, I sit in quiet and just think (my favourite), I lie down and listen to music while fully focused on it instead of just being background noise. If you like movies that's probably fine too, it's a definite step up from just drooling on the keyboard. At least you're doing something with a purpose and not shifting your attention every 10 seconds.

I don't have any trouble falling asleep, I wake up feeling full of energy, I have all the time and energy to exercise as much as I'd want to, I'm not in a constant hurry, I re-enrolled in university and doing the assignments feels so much easier now that alt-tabbing to funny pics isn't always on my mind. Even starting the work is so much easier when you haven't been brain dead on a computer all afternoon.

I don't miss the mindless instant gratification computer entertainment at all. Veeky Forums is the only site I still visit and even here I get an hour or so in and feel like I want to move on to other things.
I've become a better human being. What have you accomplished?

>What have you accomplished?

Probably made someone else a fortune being a wagecuck

Get a fucking life you NEET loser

So nothing, got it.

Calling up old flings to see if they're up

i just finished school and live with my parents literally the only reason i want a job is so i have an excuse to socialise, im not the type to go up to random people and have conversations

You forgot to answer what it is that you've accomplished other than making money to someone wealthier than you. I pity you if you honestly think educating yourself isn't a noble goal in itself. But I know you deep down don't believe that, you're just angry because someone questioned your wagecuck lifestyle. Stay on the grind friend, we need someone to pay the taxes for all these wonderful things like libraries and state sponsored education.

okok, these were some examples how you spend your rest days if its RAINY or COLD, but what do you do in SUMMER?

>weather affects activity
normies get out

What's a rest day?

it's the day you don't visit the gym because your muscles are too exhausted from the work outs the days before so they wouldn't be able to recover, that's why you pause for one day.
But according to your question you must be new here. pls check the sticky first before posting such questions :)
thanks for stepping by anyway!

>autismo

Playing video games and being as much of an asshole as I can.

Usually I go for a swim and calisthenics. I also do fast walks (usually up to an hour) almost daily since it's summer and I've got no obligations.

When I'm not lifting I usually do plyos/sprints/swimming, play some tennis/basketball, or am at judo/boxing.

Sometimes I even do that on lifting days, since I lift before work and do most of the fun shit after work.
