Self improvement general /sig/

What do you do if you stumble upon a sexy image/pornographic image here? Also, why limit gaming?

>Thus Spoke Zarathustra
>Just took up boxing
>i need to stop smoking weed, but i dont want to

This might sound weird but if I see something arousing I just jerk. I don't do NoFap personally, just don't actively be searching for or watching porn. Also gaming is a shit tier hobby. You can't talk to most people about it in public, and you most definitely can't talk about that shit with girls. It's also pretty shitty in terms of what you get out of it- not very tough on the body, rage, talking with shitty people online (shitty interaction), and when you are all done, what do you have to show for it?

I have my days. I've found that when I am cooking or in the mood to, I cook way more than I need so I have a lot of leftovers. The only issue is that you shouldn't be eating refrigerated meat after 3 or 4 days (you can freeze cooked meat for a week or two) so meal prep is usually 2 or 3 times a week.

Even if you're not hungry but feel like cooking, I would go cook. 1.) You may be hungry by the time you're done cooking, 2.) you'll have the food later so you'll be MUCH less inclined to get take-out, 3.) builds self-discipline for other areas of your life.

I'm a skeleton, my body doesn't tell me I need food, so I have to REMIND myself to eat, so I sadly can't help you there from personal experience, however, I would try
>drinking more water before meals (fills stomach)
>eating low/negative cal foods (mostly vegetables)

Research this last one cause I think it's some pseudoscience, but apparently eating smaller meals all day keeps the metabolism running high, so you'll go through more energy.

Sorry for the run-on information, I hope some of it can be of use to you.

sounds like you don't have any self control. try coming up with a short mantra you can repeat to yourself ritualistically when you're feeling weak. The more autistic the better.
>do you choose discipline or overindulgence?
>a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips
the second one's kinda gay

>what you are reading
Crime and Punishment
>your current hobbies
Lifting, vidya, reading, learning Arabic.
>what shitty hobby/habit you are giving up
Trying to give porn/fapping, because I want to be a better Catholic.

I'm fairly anti-religious (not in a euphoric way) and I'm not going to diss you, but why not just give up fapping to be a better YOU? You know, do it for yourself. If you find empowerment and purpose through your faith and that helps, by all means, I really am happy for you. I've just never been able to understand why people will do things for some deity or Saint but not because it's just good for themselves personally.

Being Catholic is basically trying to be the 'best version of yourself' at all times, so it is basically what you are describing. Anyway, why go as far as to be anti-religious? Does this mean you are against religion or do you just mean you don't believe in it yourself?

Yeah, sorry, I didn't explain that well. Between being religious or not, I choose not to be. I am actually quite spiritual but I don't cope well with the concepts that most Western religions have. While they do improve certain aspects of life, I feel like they put blinders on most (not all) people. I realize that religion does a whole lot of good for a great amount of people, but I feel as if it also holds back a good amount of people as well. I'm really quite indifferent overall, so long as someone doesn't forcibly change my life due to their belief, I will do the same respect.

>tl;dr
>fine with religion
>don't personally like being religious

>I'm fairly anti-religious (not in a euphoric way) and I'm not going to diss you, but why not just give up fapping to be a better YOU?
Well self-improvment comes into play too. My religion is important to me, so trying to follow it as closely as I can makes me feel more fulfilled.

I used to jerkoff almost everyday, and I feel gross looking back on it, so I am trying tobreak the habit.

I gotcha, when you phrased it as "anti-religious" it almost sounded like you were an activist against it or something.

My daily schedule:
Go to the gym
Play WoW, watch netflix, and fuck around on the computer.

Kinda bored during the day, thinking of working at a supplement shop or something.

Does anyone have any experience working at a supp shop? Would you recommend it?

>reading
A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy - by William Irvine
>hobbies
gym and trying to start a business
>shitty habbit
sober, noporn, nofap, no social media other than Veeky Forums for 55 days. Never been more focused.

Still working on quitting smoking.

I can imagine, working at a supplement shop is like having someone ask you for an exercise which will make their biceps bulge, day to day, hours on end.

>client comes in and asks for proteinpowder
>you recommened one
>will it work?

if you can handle dumb shit go for it.

Good job on stopping those habits, man. I recently ditched the smartphone and feel way more focused as well. I still post (obviously) but much less of it.

Now I just gotta work on the nofap bit.

Keep up the good work, user.

I'm currently reading a history of gambling.

My current hobbies are lifting, gaming, and cooking.

I'm trying to give up dating hot girls with borderline personality disorder. It's not going well.

Just have sex with them then bounce. That's a good start to stopping, no?

from what i can tell they're usually empty, and whoever is working has to do next to jack shit

Thanks buddy. Getting the life back on track after a bad breakup. Moved, started two businesses, and lost 30lbs. Still a lot to do.

>anime, cooking, lifting
>sugar

I'm good at dealing with dumb fucks after selling cars for a while, might look further into it, thanks.

physics book for high school (i'm starting computer technology in an university)

working out, learning

trying to quit snus (quitted smoking a while ago) and fapping/porn.

>what you are reading
Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges
>your current hobbies
Piano, Gunpla, Reading, Anime
>what shitty hobby/habit you are giving up
Quit smoking pot a couple months ago

At what age is it too late to turn your life around? I'm 23 and I feel like a fucking loser for not knowing what I want to do in life.

I've changed majors 3 times already and I'm still not happy. I just don't know what to do with myself. I really don't want to continue working at this shitty bar for the rest of my life.

>nothing, I can't pick a fucking a book and stick with it. My kindle is full of them though.

>I got back into skateboarding after an 8 year break and it's so fun. and painful. I play a lot of guitar too, trying to commit to fast lead practice but it's so frustrating.

>I want to give up compulsive phone use. Fucking reddit man. they got that r/asstastic shit up in there. and anything im even remotely interested in I read through the discussions endlessly.

I didn't go to university until I was 30.

Graduated at 33.

Currently making more than I ever have. Had way more sex in the 3 years since I graduated than the 10 years from 20 to 30. Started lifting a month and a half ago (at 36) and I'm already feeling stronger.

You're not even close to "too late", bud.

Take some time off school if you have no direction.

I'm 28 and have one more semester to finish my Second bachelors degree, first was a liberal arts bullshit, my second is accounting....I hate accounting. I'll probably end up working as a cop somewhere because I hate monotony.

Fellas only pursue a degree if the end goal makes YOU happy. Don't try and become a doctor to make mommy and daddy proud, or to spite that cunt in high school who dumped you

Try different things outside of college. I was in the military, worked construction, mechanical work, drove a tow truck. All different life experiences that end up teaching you something about the world or yourself.

Don't go to college for the sake of going to college.

Not op but that's inspiring man. I mean I'm only 22. But I already dropped out of a bullshit college course I was taking and then even dropped out of a trade school I tried later. Currently working as a cook and pursuing my hobbies with more passion than ever but I know they are not likely to ever pay the bills

Heard that's good. Hmu if you need help with the philosophy, I've read the gay science and twilight of idols.

Reading a few different books how, fave is pic related
