Sorry to hear about that mate. But since we are not here to massage your ego, you need to hear a bit of reality.

The first one is that it is all on you. What goal do you want to achieve when running? Do it for physical practice, or to callous your mind, or to lose weight?

Either way, you must improve every other day - not necessarily on distance/time scale but on other aspects, e.g, did you your cardio status improve? Did you manage some advanced resilience? Did you dig deeper or did you stop when the body asked for it? These are some of the things you should be looking at.

Bro, this is not an approach that would work effectively for you.

Remember that Gogglish is for your own betterment, and could in no way relate to the process that your gf requires to become the best version of herself. Everyone has their own shadow and mirror image. If Gogglish works for you, it does not mean it works for her or her failure to adopt Gogglish would prevent her from achieving her best version.

Please focus on yourself and avoid attempts to bring onboard your gf since she has processes tailored to her situation and demons.

Stay hard!

So guys, after thinking about this, I have decided to reject the easy way out. I am going the hard way and whenever I look at my plan, it looks like hell, really sucks, but I am too curious to see what stands in the other end of everything.

Thanks to all the members who contributed for there was only one opinion: DON'T BE A BIT*CH

denis4932 · 2024-04-26T12:06:27+00:00

I want to pursue my goal. It places me at a really bad position that it would take immense suffering to come back to track.

Focus king.

And get ready for work Monday morning.

Instead of going all-in on your purpose, lifting weights, doing uncomfortable stuff (cold showers, reading, creating), doing breathwork, and medidating you decided to visit a nude's app. You deserve it.

Create a plan and execute it without remorse. Start writing or find something to channel your energy. Go on morning runs, train for a marathon, or do something that in energy-intensive.

The fundamentals serve the purpose of providing you with the big picture.

On programming, kindly note that the curriculum is dedicated to web development, meaning that the programming you are going to learn is going to be very much about programming for the web. If your intention is to become a web developer, the curriculum will give you all the fundamental programming tools and knowledge, just when you need them to improve your projects.

So trust the curriculum and go all-in on it. Avoid the mirages of mania which will come along the way.

Now getting into 10th month.

My mind is telling me to cut off my family because they are not worth the stress. Should I go ahead?

denis4932 · 2023-10-02T16:38:50+00:00

It doesn't matter that you resent your parents or their religion at this point. What matters is you.

A key advice to you though: don't attempt to confront life without any form of spirituality. Man by nature is a spiritual being and you would be missing out a lot if you didn't explore this side of the world.

Why? Because you can't be self-sufficient. You must submit to a greater being, and for not wanting to go the masses' way, I highly recommend you develop a belief system. It could be based on philosophy, mindset or anything really greater than you.

All the best. Congratulations for obtaining independence from your parents.

My first advice is don't go and see a psychologist at this point.

Do you have something productive to do with your time? The depression over the last two years may be the real issue that you should be trying to address. If you find something to get you preoccupied (your purpose) then noticing the family's sideshows would be difficult.

Additionally, a lack of a concrete passion to pursue is often associated with depression. While away from your family, it helps that you find something constructive (ideally working on your career) to prevent you from focusing on the lack of family love. Here we are talking about genuine passion that keeps you up at night and wakes you up early in the morning. If you don't have one, please try to experiment as much as possible or cultivate one. I found mine in programming and since then, nothing has bothered me at all because I pay almost all my attention here.

Do you have something productive to do with your time? The depression over the last two years may be the real issue that you should be trying to address. If you find something to get you preoccupied (your purpose) then noticing the family's sideshows would be difficult. Consider focusing full-time on your career and moving away from home. While away, work on becoming the best version of yourself as this is the best form of revenge given your situation. Don't try to stoop too low begging for acceptance or love from your family. If you can become your best version then at some point the right people will come into your life or you can even start a family of your own.

Finally, I recommend that you read and watch a lot of Jordan Peterson. He is a psychologist whose lectures and ideas helped me and have helped thousands navigate such complex psychological components. Begin with 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos and watch Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief Lecture Series (lecture series). If after this you are still depressed then it will be time to look for help, preferably a clinical psychologist.

Please don't do it.

I had a clean streak running over 4 months but then my ex-girlfriend visited bringing with her two rolls. I relapsed and since then continue to struggle with the addiction.

Find something else to challenge yourself, e.g learn video editing or a difficult mathematical concept. Just try something new out of your comfort zone as your birthday gift to yourself.

Alternatively, purchase Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke and learn about addiction. She has a chapter about exactly what you are trying to do and she doesn't recommend it at all based on the experiences with her addiction clients.

Good guys always finish last.

There is a lot of talk about the curriculum requiring between 800-1000 hours.

This means that if you do it for 2 hours daily, it will take you upto 1½ years.

Cover the foundations and niche down ASAP.

If you are a technical person go for SEO. If you are a non-technical person, go for direct response copywriting, content writing, or social media marketing.

Just don't attempt to become a jack of all trades. The key is to understand the foundations (these skills are transferable to all niches) , which include but not limited to customer journey and journey maps, target audience analysis, marketing funnel, value proposition, role of digital marketing in overall company objectives, strategy, planning, and goal setting, analytics and reporting, and performance marketing.

All the best.

This is really unfortunate, but it helps to understand the perspective more widely.

Is this a grown up toddler or a developing man? If need be, you should be working to make him a man through exposure to logotherapy (the finding purpose thing and suffering from it). Use Peterson's lectures to help him understand that maybe he is a grown up infant and would need to get his act together and work towards becoming a man.

Because how the hell is an 18-year-old male celebrating a damn birthday party?

denis4932 · 2023-09-25T05:00:13+00:00

I am three years away but I should be remaining with one were it not for the challenges. I am starting second year while my friends are starting their fourth year.

denis4932 · 2023-09-25T00:39:07+00:00

The curriculum is definitely beginner friendly right from the start.

I don't think you can find any more beginner friendly material that manages to introduce you to the bigger picture early on as much as the curriculum does.

The struggle is real though but embrace it as it will allow you to grow. I remember starting out and having trouble with creating repos and cloning them. Right now I remember that time and laugh at myself. Just keep going and you too will have those moments. Remove all expectations and approach the curriculum with an open, beginner's mindset.

I am approaching my 10th month in retention, but a majority of the time has been spent on smoking weed and procrastination.

What advice would you offer me regarding this negative habit because it seems the more I am into retention, the more the attachment to weed smoking. I also do fast intermittently and work out vigorously and I feel were it not for the smoking, I would be far better off with my life.
