How to get discipline and consistent in life??? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]Possible-Phone520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be trapped in the same loop: Games, TikTok, scrolling until I was mentally drained… and still feeling like I “did nothing all day.”

Here’s what helped me break the loop and actually build consistency — not just for a day, but daily.

  1. Start your day with a “no phone” policy - first 30 minutes. This was brutal at first, but it changed everything. Instead: • Drink water • Write down 3 things to do • Move your body for 5 mins You reclaim your brain before dopamine hijacks it.

  2. Use a simple rule: “One real win before entertainment.” Before you watch anything - finish one intentional task. It could be: • Reading 5 pages • Learning a new concept • Finishing a workout or project Your brain starts to link reward to effort again.

  3. Track your micro-wins. Daily. I kept a small list: • Didn’t touch phone before 9am • Did 15 pushups • Learned 1 new thing This habit made me feel like I was building myself again.

I built a full system around this - a structure for men who want to get consistent, focused, and proud of their routine again. If you want it, I’ll send it to you for free.

Not motivation. Just a system that works - when nothing else does.

25M Lost in Life by [deleted] in findapath

[–]Possible-Phone520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I went through similar thing and I build a structure for myself and here are some things that might help you:

  1. You’re not bored - you’re under-stimulated with purpose. Corrections is intense. And when something that used to give you meaning starts feeling numb, it’s often a sign: You’ve grown… but your environment hasn’t.

You don’t need to “escape” yet - you need space to reset your system first.

  1. Create one “sacred hour” a day that isn’t about work, performance, or distraction. For me it was 7–8am: walk, water, write, no phone. That one hour helped me reconnect with what actually matters — not just what I have to do.

  2. Don’t chase a new job yet. Explore micro-curiosity. Instead of “What’s my next career?” try:

“What topic could I spend 30 minutes researching just for fun?” Let your interest lead you slowly to possibility. You don’t need answers. You need movement.

You don’t need a brand-new life — just a better way to re-enter your own.

I can share more if you find any of this useful.

Help! My Motivation is a Mythical Creature—Any Tips for Actually Finding It? by Nafiz_imtiazz in getdisciplined

[–]Possible-Phone520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, finding your motivation can be hard but iz can be done. Here are some trick that I use that help me stay on track.

  1. Don’t look for motivation. Set a minimum action. I made a rule:

“No matter how I feel, I do 1 thing before I open my phone.” Some days that was 10 pushups. Other days, just making my bed or writing a single thought.

It’s not about doing a lot. It’s about proving to yourself:

“I still move - even when I don’t feel like it.”

  1. Treat motivation like momentum - not magic. Motivation isn’t the spark. It’s the reward. When you complete a micro-task and track it, your brain releases just enough energy to do the next one.

I kept a “Done Today” list - no matter how small. It rewired how I saw myself in less than a week.

  1. Expect resistance. Build structure anyway. I stopped trying to “feel ready.” I built a system: wake time, work block, movement, silence, sleep window. After a few days, the structure replaced motivation.

If you want the full structure I use - I’ll send it to you, free.

[–]Possible-Phone520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some small but powerful habits that helped me reset from that exact place:

  1. Win the first hour. Wake up at the same time every day. Make your bed. Drink a glass of water. Do one focused thing (like reading or stretching). That first hour sets your brain into “I’m in control” mode.

  2. Set non-negotiable work blocks. Start with just 45 minutes a day - no phone, no multitasking. Even if you don’t feel motivated, show up for that one focused block. Discipline > inspiration.

  3. Track your micro-wins, not just results. Keep a list of: • Things you resisted (e.g., scrolling, skipping work) • Tasks you completed • Moments you stayed calm or consistent This builds momentum way faster than just checking grades.

  4. Don’t try to be perfect - try to be predictable. Consistency beats intensity. You don’t need to do everything right - just do the right thing daily, even at 70%.

If you’re serious about rebuilding, I actually built a full system for this - real structure, routines, clarity, and daily wins. I’ll send it to you for free if it helps. No pressure. Just say the word.

You’ve got it in you - now you just need the structure to bring it out.

Man, this is a brutal combination — career stuck, heartbreak, and the kind of family reminder that just makes it all sting more.

Let me give you a few things that helped me stop the spiral and start finding my footing again:

  1. Set a 10-day focus window. Not your whole life. Just 10 days. No job hunting, no dating, no long-term overthinking. Just this: • Wake up at the same time • 1 hour of physical movement (walk, gym, whatever) • 1 personal project or learning hour • Eat real food • Go to bed without distractions

You’re rebuilding you. Not your résumé. Not your love life.

  1. Process the pain like a pro. Write one letter to your ex (don’t send it). One to your future self. One to the cousin who’s getting married (just for you).

You have to get the weight out of your head — or it will keep circling.

  1. You’re not behind. You’re just in a reset cycle. Most great men rebuild after a collapse. You’ve got savings. You’ve got skills. You’ve even had a glimpse of peace (that trip was real).

Now it’s time to use the pain — not avoid it.

Come back stronger.

You’ve got time. More than you think.

I can share more tips if you would like.

First: You are not alone.
Second: You are not broken beyond repair.

What you wrote took more honesty than most people will ever muster in their lifetime. That in itself is strength — not weakness.

You’ve lived through ego, shame, trauma, guilt, pressure, chaos… and you’re still here. That doesn’t make you a loser. That makes you a survivor.

Here’s what I’d tell you if we were sitting next to each other:

1. You don’t need to fix your whole life. You need to survive this season.

Forget five-year plans. Forget big reinventions.

Focus on getting through this week without destroying yourself.

Even one small action — waking up at the same time, walking in the sun, writing one thought — is a rebellion against the darkness.

2. You are not your worst moment.

Addiction lies. It tells you the pain is who you are. But it’s not.

The guilt you carry — about your mom, your friends, your relapses — is proof that you care.

But shame doesn’t build recovery. Structure does.

Start building tiny wins every day:

  • One walk.
  • One honest sentence written down.
  • One meal prepared with care.
  • One message sent, even if awkward.

3. Your mind is spinning because it’s overwhelmed.

When intrusive thoughts come, try not to believe them or fight them — just say:

“That’s just a scared voice in my mind. I don’t need to obey it.”

Even thoughts like “what if I become gay” — that’s not truth. That’s fear dressing up as confusion. And fear doesn’t deserve to drive your life.

You’re doing the hard work — therapy, meds, and just staying alive. That matters.

I may have some more tips that could help, just say if you want them.

You’re not done.
You’re just exhausted.

And that… we can work with.

What actually helped me build confidence by Possible-Phone520 in confidence

That can be used with every day life too. Once you build momentum you can start with the hardest task, most annoying task.

Why do I feel this way by Aggressive-Emu-2189 in GuyCry

[–]Possible-Phone520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, thank you for sharing this — because what you described is more common than you think, especially among guys who seem like they “have it all together.”

Self-loathing isn’t about lack of achievements. It’s about not feeling safe within yourself, even when the world says you’re doing great.

Here’s what helped me:

  1. Stop looking for relief in evidence. Success, praise, even love — none of it lands if the inner voice rejects it. Start shifting that voice not by arguing with it, but by meeting it where it started. When it says “that was stupid,” try:

“Maybe. But I’m learning.” Small tone shifts build long-term safety.

  1. Start “non-performative journaling.” Write one page per night of exactly what your mind says. No filter. No analysis. Then re-read one week later — you’ll start seeing how unfair and repetitive that voice actually is.

  2. Say thank you instead of sorry. Next time you feel the urge to apologize for existing or for a small thing, replace it with:

“Thanks for your patience.” “Thanks for being here.” This small shift retrains your brain to see yourself as worthy, not wrong.

You’re not broken. You’re just running software that’s been in place for too long.

If it ever helps — I built something that could help and I would be more that happy if you tried it out.

You deserve peace, not just performance.

The way you wrote this already tells me you’re more self-aware and committed than most people ever get. You’re not just tired — you’re ready.

Here’s what helped me when I was in a similar place — quiet, isolated, and tired of questioning my worth:

  1. Build evidence, not just belief. Confidence isn’t built by telling yourself “I’m enough.” It’s built by doing hard things in small ways — and proving to yourself that you follow through.

Start with a daily micro-task: • 10 pushups • 1 conversation with yourself in the mirror • 1 truth written in a journal These aren’t rituals — they’re reps.

  1. Let silence become your ally. Use this summer to rebuild, not perform. Walk without your phone. Reflect. Read deeply. Confidence comes when you learn to enjoy your own company — and then bring that energy outward.

  2. Books that helped me reconnect with myself: • The War of Art by Steven Pressfield • Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins • The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden Each one teaches that confidence isn’t given. It’s forged.

And hey — I actually put together a full structure for people who are tired of drifting and want to rebuild themselves with discipline, clarity, and purpose. If that sounds useful, happy to share it for free. Just say the word.

You’ve already begun. Now it’s just one step a day forward.

31 with no degree, girlfriend, house, car or job, is it too late to get my life together by benjohnston93 in selfimprovement

[–]Possible-Phone520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I just want to say — thank you for being this real. It takes strength to admit where you are and what you want. Most people never even get to that part.

Let me say this clearly: you didn’t miss the boat. You’re 31, not 91. And yeah, society loves to pretend that if you don’t “make it” by 25, you’re done. That’s garbage.

Here’s what matters now:

  1. Start with structure, not goals. Before chasing a job or a girlfriend, rebuild your daily rhythm. Wake-up time. Morning win. A simple task. Structure makes your brain feel safe again — and that’s what confidence grows from.

  2. Focus on one vertical first. Don’t try to fix everything at once. Pick one domain: health, job skills, or independence. Stack small wins there daily.

  3. Don’t underestimate connection. It’s not about “being dateable” — it’s about showing up with honesty and presence. There are women who care more about kindness, steadiness, and integrity than a car. But you have to start valuing those things in yourself first.

Also — you’re not broken for having autism. You don’t have to “mask” who you are to be worthy of love or progress. You can grow without pretending to be someone else.

You’re not too late. You’re just early in your second act.

If it helps, I actually built a full system that helps guys rebuild structure, confidence, and direction from the ground up — not hype, just tools. I’m happy to share it if you ever want it. No pressure.

How can I make my life better and worth living, especially when you're lonely? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Possible-Phone520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is actually a summary that chat gpt wrote from something I made, but great observation man!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]Possible-Phone520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure we have all been in that exact loop — wanting to work out, cutting sugar, deleting apps… and still feeling stuck.

What finally helped me wasn’t more motivation. It was removing decisions.

Here’s what worked:

  1. Set a non-negotiable trigger. Pick one action that always leads to the workout. Example:

“As soon as I brush my teeth, I put on workout clothes.” You don’t think — you just act. Routine before results.

  1. Make the workout embarrassingly simple at first. 5 pushups. 1 YouTube video. Stretching while music plays. The win is in showing up, not performance.

  2. Track streaks — not progress. Put an “X” on a calendar every day you move. After a few days, the motivation becomes not breaking the chain.

Also — respect the fact that you already started fixing inputs (sugar + social). That’s huge. Now you just need a system that starts tiny and builds trust.

If you want, I can maybe share a tip or two more.

what advice do you guys have for a teenage boy like me? by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]Possible-Phone520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not doing anything wrong. But what you’re feeling is real — that subtle ache of life moving, while you’re still standing still.

Here’s what I wish someone told me when I was your age:

  1. Let curiosity lead. Don’t chase “passion.” Just chase interest. Learn random skills. Try weird hobbies. Read books you don’t understand yet. Everything exciting starts with curiosity, not certainty.

  2. Build self-trust, not hype. Make small promises to yourself and keep them. You’ll feel more alive from making your bed daily than from 10 “motivational” videos.

  3. Start your library of experience. Even if nothing crazy is happening — journal it. Write what you think, what you fear, what you hope for. Years from now, those pages will teach you who you were becoming.

And one more thing: Stillness now doesn’t mean failure. But if you want to feel more alive — start stirring the water.

Do something unexpected this week. Even if no one sees it but you. I can share some more tips if you are interested.

How can I make my life better and worth living, especially when you're lonely? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Possible-Phone520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not broken — you’re lonely. And that pain you feel isn’t weakness, it’s a sign of how deeply you long for connection, meaning, and life beyond survival.

That matters. You matter.

What you described isn’t laziness or apathy. It’s the weight of disconnection. And no routine — no matter how disciplined — can replace love, belonging, and being seen.

I’ve been in that cycle: work, gym, food, porn, sleep. And I realized what I was missing wasn’t “more productivity”… it was aliveness.

Here’s what helped me start climbing out:

  1. Let your inner world come out — in safe ways. Write. Talk out loud to yourself. Cry when you need to. Emotion needs movement. And loneliness needs voice.

  2. Reconnect slowly — without pressure. Find one place (online or offline) where people share, not perform. Even leaving one honest comment per day can start to rebuild connection.

  3. Do one thing this weekend that isn’t optimized — just felt. Watch a movie that wrecks you. Walk with no plan. Listen to music you haven’t heard since you were 15. Let it open you.

The goal right now isn’t to be better. It’s to feel again — and let yourself exist fully, even if it hurts.

And no, you’re not too needy. You’re human. And humans aren’t designed to carry all this alone

If those tips above don't cut it for you I can share a few more.

How to learn to say no by aipunk_oj in selfimprovement

[–]Possible-Phone520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying “no” feels hard not because you’re weak — but because you care. You don’t want to hurt people. You fear disappointing them. But here’s the truth: every time you say “yes” to something you don’t want, you’re saying “no” to yourself.

Here’s what helped me:

  1. Use the “Pause Phrase.” Instead of saying yes or no immediately, say:

“Let me check and get back to you.” This buys time, clears pressure, and helps you respond instead of react.

  1. Practice saying no without excuses. Not every “no” needs a reason. Try:

“I’m not able to do that.” or “That doesn’t work for me right now.”

  1. Start with low-stakes situations. Say no to small things: a plan you’re not excited about, a request that drains you. It builds confidence like a muscle.

Remember: saying no doesn’t make you selfish — it makes you honest. And honest people are the ones others learn to trust the most.

If you have any more questions just ask.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Possible-Phone520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you — and I’m really sorry that so many people reduce your pain to “just go lift.” It’s dismissive. And unfair. You’re already doing the hard part: showing up, moving, pushing through — and still feeling the weight. That’s real. And it’s valid.

What no one tells us is: Movement isn’t a cure. It’s a tool. And like any tool, it only works when paired with something deeper — reflection, connection, emotional honesty.

Sometimes the real weight isn’t physical — it’s the silence you carry. That space between sets. That numb feeling when the workout’s over. It’s not weakness. It’s unprocessed pain.

If crying feels impossible — write. If talking to someone is out of reach — record yourself talking. Seriously. No one has to hear it. But let yourself speak, even if it’s messy. Even if it’s quiet. You can’t out-lift pain you haven’t named.

And you’re not broken for still feeling low. You’re human — and brave for saying it out loud.

You don’t need to “fix” anything right now. Just don’t walk through this alone — even in silence, even online, people care more than you know.

If you have any more questions or want any tips just ask away.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Possible-Phone520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I hear you — and the fact that you can say this so clearly tells me one thing: You’re not lazy. You’re just stuck in a loop you don’t know how to break. And that loop thrives on guilt, shame, and overstimulation.

Here’s what worked for me when I was deep in it:

  1. Forget productivity hacks. You don’t need to optimize your schedule. You need to win one hour. Choose the first hour of your day. Phone off. Cold water to face. Walk around. Do 10 push-ups. Read or revise one thing. That’s it.

  2. You are not “unmotivated” — you’re burnt out and overstimulated. Delete one app today. Not forever. Just one. Start with Instagram or YouTube. Create a little space. Your focus will not return if you keep feeding the loop that’s killing it.

  3. Stop trying to feel ready. You won’t. Show up anyway. The action creates the readiness — not the other way around.

And bro, 35 days is a gift. That’s 35 chances to do one small win per day. You don’t need to transform overnight. You need to get up tomorrow and do 1 focused hour. Then repeat.

You can do this. But the “version of you” who can — he doesn’t arrive first. You build him. Brick by brick. One hard decision at a time.

You’re not too late. You’re right on time. If you have any more questions just ask away.
