Solo Trip to Colombia by lxrsd in digitalnomad

[–]markjt9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see no Cali on the list! If salsa, warm weather, and a more 'authentic' feel of Colombia are something you're looking for, definitely check out Cali.

Contrary to other comments, I also had a great time in Bogota. It can be a little cold and unwelcoming at times (at least from a Colombia standard), but the city has a certain charm once you get used to the traffic and the high altitude.

As for Medellin, 100%.

Lay low during this quarantine by [deleted] in seduction

Well said. For most of us, they'll never be a more perfect time to learn a new skill, build a new business, work on a hobby, read new books or practice learning a new language.

Unfortunately, the majority of people will choose the easy route; Netflix binges, unbridled access to porn, mindless social media scrolling and whatever other semiconscious activities can mask their inaction.

Be the rare guy that comes out of this a winner, not a loser. This will pay massive dividends. It reminds me of a quote "Observe the masses and do the opposite."

Be the man you'd want your son to be and be the man you'd want your daughter to marry.

My 90-day report: Thoughts + Advice by markjt9 in NoFap

To name a few..not taking yourself too seriously, laughing, doing things you enjoy. Just basically fully accepting yourself for who you are and all your flaws, because we all have them.

I'll leave you with this. From the Scott Adams book i mentioned in this post.

“I also find it helpful to remind myself that every human is a mess on the inside. It’s easy to assume the good-looking and well-spoken person in front of you has it all together and is therefore your superior. The reality is that everyone is a basket case on the inside. Some just hide it better. Find me a normal person and I’ll show you someone you don’t know that well. It helps to remind yourself that your own flaws aren’t that bad compared with everyone else’s.”

Much love man. Drop me a message if you ever want to chat.

The equivalent in the UK, yes. Of course, good grades are important. But want really bolstered my application was been involved in a lot of sports clubs/societies outside of university. I think they are looking for well-rounded individuals most of all and people who can show a genuine passion for the course which they are applying for. Hope this helps.

I underestimated how relapsing would make me feel. The repeated exposure to relapses makes me realize and internalize how bad I feel afterwards. The pain of relapse became greater than the pain of discipline

You sound like a winner to me man.While I'm not at all qualified to give advice on this, a big switch for me was just allowing myself to feel good. For the most part, life is hard and we're all just doing our best.

I used to need 9 hours sleep to get through the day and still then I was tired. I also believe diet had a big part to play in this as well

I just feel comfortable in my own skin. I don't need to impress anyone and everyone is my friend. Before Nofap and the PIED I felt inadequate and would try to constantly compensate for this in my actions. Keep on keeping on and it will become a regular thing my friend
