Daily discipline thread

>preworkout
if your diet is ok and you sleep at least 7 hours every day, you shouldn't need preworkouts

i have been exlusively taking cold showers for a year or so.
hasn't made me a different person.
has made me a person who enjoys cold showers though. for what thats worth.

i haven't quit my job

I do ultra hot showers and I do no orgams
since I graduated top from my monk school

fasting 18 hours boy

i cant do cold showers, im a sensitive little bitch. i cant help it, its too painful for me. dont tell me shit either, you dont know what its like to be me, faggot

i used to do them daily for a month or 2 but it just drained me, i ended up dreading the entire day, its just too much. now i just take sponge baths just to wash my body and im out

I stretch sometimes.

I try to ensure I do random things sometimes that scare me.

Sometimes I write.

cold showers are good to start but aren't really going to cut it long term unless you live where the cold water temp is near freezing. buy an old chest freezer for a couple hundred bucks and fill it with water. it only needs to run a few hours every 4-5 days to keep it just above freezing. then you get your wim hof on.

Same here, I would like to enjoy an epic game again. Like an early Zelda a Bastion or JA2.

I think that the cold showers have more to do with building mental discipline rather than achieving godmode.

A valuable skill to have druing the happening.

I did that for a while, works wonders. Doing a 24 hour fast now., 19.30 hours in

Cold showers are a meme

Been trying to teach myself some discipline. It's hard though. I love lifting and eating well, I just made a habit out of it. But studying, even if I like the subject, is nothing more then tedious and any habits I try to form with it always go to the wayside. I keep trying, but I always end up failing.

Fuck me that's what I do.
I can't do moderation. Either 0 gaming, or I binge game 6 hours a day.
So I do 0 and watch twitch streams of others gaming...

>sleep 8 hours a day

Wow, just like John Rambo.

RIP /fitlit/ you were too good for this world

I have no responsibilities right now aside from working out and so I stay at home all day and I think being on the computer for so long is really getting to me. I'm becoming extremely forgetful and struggle imensely to focus on things. My sleeping pattern is also fucked and I cant bring myself to get up early to fix it. What can I do?

I recently got my ps3 back (had it lent to a friend then my sister for a few years, who used it as a dvd player) and I'm thinking of giving it back to her.
I know there is very little good that could come out of me having a ps3 in my appartment again and though it would be nice to play occasionally do I know from past experience that i tend to play a bit too much and let my priorities get fucked.
It would be nice to play a few games that i haven't (mainly want to pick up Dark Souls) but i know that it'd be best to just give it back to her.

I haven't had any tv or computer with sound in my appartment and it has done wonders to my productivity, but ... I'd really like to play Dark Souls..

I've never enjoyed videogames. I love watching youtube of people playing them, or twitch. I always get bored of em. Exceptions being Mount and blade.

no fap

also my sleeping pattern is by far the worst in this thread, ive had a revolving sleep schedule since i was like 15ish, im 26. although i dont have insomnia, thank god

im honestly not even sure its possible to fix a bad sleeping pattern. i dont know...

>revolving sleep schedule

what's that? For me, I naturally fall into the cycle of going to sleep at 4 or so every night and waking up at 1 and that's just how I naturally like to sleep.

And I've tried nofap and felt no benefits and desu it seems like a meme. Also I've never had a gf and can't get one so I don't think I'll be able to live without bustin' a nut ever.

Mount and blade is boring as fuck, you must truly be the life of the party.

I try and meditate. I've got this app on my phone called Moment that tracks how much I use it every day, which I really like. Most days I hit around 45 minutes, which feels good -- but then again, I am also using my laptop to fuck around on Veeky Forums for maybe another hour or two.

I have a question and don't want to start a new thread for it, couldn't find a more appropriate one, hope one of you can help. I want to go to the gym more often because it's something to do and I like it. Right now I go four days a week. Is it beneficial or dumb to skip rest days and go back to the gym?

I moved my phone/alarmclock/porn machine away from my bed so I actually HAVE to get up to turn it off.

Prevents me from laying in bed for an extra hour and a half each morning.

It's a big picture game that you can zone out to and starve and rape citizenry. Bannerlord soon.

do you smoke weed? my sleeping pattern was totally fucked but as soon as i stopped smoking it came good.

I've done the same. I also have 2 alarms and move them and put them in awkward places I have to search for. Considering putting a sign on them saying: "don't be a lazy faggot, wake the fuck up" something like that.

Yes, it is dumb because lifting weights doesn't make you big or strong. Recovering from lifting weights makes you big and strong.

Better ask that over at

Got it. Thank you user.

Oh. Thanks!

stop

only very ocasionally. I actually do sometimes to HELP me sleep, but I feel like its a restless sleep. I usually only smoke it with friends.

I've also stopped laying in bed all day and use a chair instead and force myself to leave the house at least once a day. What else can I do to improve? Right now I:

>meditate while lying motionless in the dark before I go to sleep
>work out
>have a mobility routine (No stretching because of hyper mobility, unless someone can suggest something that doesn't fuck me up)
>Read (both philosophy and fiction, mostly)

And I think that's it

get off your computer you're lacking vitamin D skinlet

Really?

I haven't played a computer game since 2015 and I still have Steam on my desktop and shortcut to csgo, and ps4 under my tv.

I just stopped playing oneday as I realised I was just no longer interested or even cared, playing games became a chore. I started listening to music alot before stopping, and I'd get irritated that I couldn't listen to an album while playing a game, music killed my gaming habittions.

I have a normal shower and then end it with an approximate minute of cold water simply because it wakes me up in the morning and makes you want to get out of the shower and on with your day.

Cutting out hot water from your life is just autism, unless you're a navy seal in training or something I don't see the point.

I'm Alberto Barbosa I'm already under the moorish curse

wish I was pale desu

About to smoke my last cigarette for a while hopefully wish me luck lads

I'm the same way with studying. If I'm trying to study I'll literally find an excuse to have to do anything else.
Try studying with a friend. I go to study sessions with a couple people in my classes and they tell you to fuck off if you're not studying. Kinda helps when someone is holding you accountable.

Get a vape

No thanks I'm already gay

>I always end up failing.
Just keep at it man.
Read slower, really concentrate on each word. Read the words and sentences out aloud.
Think about what they mean/what you think they mean. The key really is just to do it a lot slower than you think you should read. Go full on slo-mo.
It develops your concentration, which is the main objective of what you want to develop.

this wont last long. I tried the whole work, school, sleep for 4-5 hours. I realized you need sleep to be able to study. My study time doubled from inability to remember things due to lack of sleep

>sleep ~7.5 hours every day
>foodprep every sunday
>have a cheatmeal 1-2 per week
>stretch every day- but that is more due to an injury than anything

I don't know about you guys but I think that hot showers are destroying my lips. I'm thinking of trying cold showers just to fix that.

I throw shotput and discuss

I'm not trying to 'no excuses' you if you're just done, but do you live in a climate where you'd also be incapable of swimming in an unheated pool? Because if not, a lot of it's probably in your head.

Just use chapstick. Burt's Bees or even making your own works fine to keep your lips from chapping.

I take warm showers and rinse my face and hair with cold water at the end. keeps my scalp and face from being dry as fuck.

My problem is sleeping enough.

I'm about to go lift while fasted though, I'm on NoPorn (nofap is a meme desu) and I'm self educating as a programmer in my spare time. Cut out videogames in favor of studying.

I need more sleep though. Going to bed before 11 is difficult, I always feel so mentally stimulated at night.

NoFap: every now and then I do a week or two if I notice its been a while since last I fapped. I've done up to 4weeks of no fap and it didn't do shit
Cold showers: only in the summer
Sleep: I can't manage to sleep more than 7 hours no matter how tired I am or when I go to sleep

what if I do cardio inbetween gym days?

30min if I run or 1hour and a half if I go biking
should I still do a rest day once a week or so?

I've done this, but my sleeping brain is fucking insurmountable. It's not uncommon for me to walk across the room, or crawl under my bed, or squeeze behind my bookshelf, wherever I've hidden the stupid thing, and just turn off the alarm, go right back to bed, and never realise it even went off in the first place. Like, I could be told that someone's just been sneaking into my room to turn my alarm off before it ever sounds, and I wouldn't know the difference.

I've managed to train myself into a pretty reliable habit of getting up after exactly two snoozes, though. The first snooze is a wash, I don't remember it. The second, I'm just conscious enough to think "oh fuck, I have to get up soon," and because of that extra time, by the third time the alarm goes off, I'm actually ready to get up.

You guys probably need 9 hours regularly instead of 8

8 is a very broad, very course assessment of need for an "adult", which usually means someone 30-50. The amount of sleep you need is higher the younger you are

I am an addict to MMOs, but it's only a symptom of depression. I gave my account to a friend and he's using it. Surprisingly console/singleplayer games aren't so addicting to me. For example, I put down a certain game for a few days, but I'm going to play for 2 hours and then get back to shitposting. Which moves me on to my major addiction.

leddit and 4ch, i can't stop scrolling man. chop my hands off.

I've tried, I've even tried the expensive shit. It doesn't work for me.

Quit tobacco
Quit PMO
Cut back on weed & drinking
Cut back on video games
Started Intermittent fasting
Strict Keto diet

In 18 months I have lost 110 lbs, lost my virginity, cleared my acne ridden skin, sleeping better, better social skills, and much more. The benefits are too many to list.

I just started lifting and now I want to get shredded.

You shouldn't NoFap it's unhealthy for your sperm count if you ever want to have kids.
Fertility clinic told me not to have more than 10 days of abstinence I think it was.
I'm married so I don't need to fap but don't go for super long periods of time without.

Steam still loads on my laptop everyday. Even at work when I'm mega bored, I consider it, but take out a book instead. 20 years of timesink will teach ya eventually.

>Bannerlord soon

user..

Just take 5 minutes out of your day to uninstall it. It's not even hard.

Soon. Any day now. fuck you.

currently on 8 weeks of NoFap
only turn the shower cold for 10-15 seconds at the end to wake myself up
I try sleep 6-7 hours a day, always managed to start productive

I don't masturbate, but I do look at porn, so as build my libido up so I can fuck the hell out of my gf

I take cold showers; will switch up for warm showers if I feel like relaxing

I stretch before jiu jitsu, work and lifting

guilty
i feel so pathetic at the fact i have urges to play computer games and even more pathetic at the fact i keep uninstalling and reinstalling them
i did go about 2/3 months without playing games and it was phenomenal, most of my time went towards self improvement - would recommend

Say that to my face and not online motherfucker

I usually clean myself with hot water, then I stand in cold water a bit afterwards because I like the feeling. Too bad that the showers were I live right now are horseshit and can't get cold enough.

Quitting cigs last month. Most disciplined thing I've ever done

I remember watching a documentary as a kid explaining how nordic men were prepared better for battle after cold showers or some shit.

You guys are weird and pathetic. Video games are like any other activity you enjoy, and you should use your willpower to moderate playing them.

There's also nothing specifically bad about video games that isn't also bad about watching TV, sports, or otherwise sitting on your ass. Get a grip.

Nailed it

take restavit

i fixed my sleep schedule a year ago.

i used to take naps all the time. then i switched to getting 8.5-9 hours of sleep a night for a few months. after a while i just naturally started waking up at exactly 8 hours. fixing sleep was really important for me.
