this list was written by a fucking retard
>Only classical music
this is the ultimate psuedo marker. classical music was music made for nobility and isnt complex as what we have today. a lot of it is pretty boring
> in b4 "nig rap"
im not saying you should listen to the newest cardi b but to act like the music back then was better is retarded and try hard. jazz is much newer and WAY more complex.
if you wank you loose sperm and the body has to put energy into making more. stop it.
IST in anonymous, it's not social media where you do things for eclout to up your points
any music after 2008 is totally fucked. either a) be depressed everything is shit or b) you're a superhero you're gonna be a billionaire. it will ruin your perception of the world.
all carbonated drinks made from artificial crap are totally bad for you and hold you bad. stop making excuses.
12 doesn't make sense. Multiple small meals is better.
14 is dumb. A silly pretentiousness, it's like people who think playing chess makes you smart.
The rest sounds like a good plan though.
>12
if your stomach is constantly working you will feel lathargic
don't buy into the 4000 calorie crap, you don't need massive amounts of food
2500 absolute max is totally fine, i know this from experience
trying to get XD HEUG GAINS is moronic, just get lean an a bit of muscle to feel best. >14
those movies put you in the position of the superhero, so you come out feeling good like you saved the world, then in fact you haven't so you feel sad. stop watching them you'll feel better.
theres a huge difference between doing something because thats what you want to do versus doing something by force because you think you must. yes, thrive to improve yourself to be how you envision the best of yourself is but be kind towards yourself aswell. you'll get it when youre older.
Interesting list. The only thing I don’t like it’s 1 hour only of internet and I just cannot stay without it 3 hours before sleeping, since I study at night. However, that’s a good list.
Why no porn and no masturbation? I’m not opposing, but I’d like to know what’s the goal of this rule. And please, don’t jump to absurd conclusions, give me a reliable answer why is porn and masturbation bad.
porn warps your sense of self and ruins the ability to form relationships with women
masturbation is bad purely because you're frying your brain with dopamine, and also it takes energy to make the new spunk which makes u tired
>porn warps your sense of self and ruins the ability to form relationships with women
I don't form relationships with women because they don't come talk to me (they don't do it with most men) and most of them are dislikeable bitches. There's nothing to do with me watching big tits. >masturbation is bad purely because you're frying your brain with dopamine, and also it takes energy to make the new spunk which makes u tired
I agree, but it is the cost to shift my anxiety and stress. Which one is worse? Getting tired or anxious and stressed all the time? I have real serious family problems. If it wasn't porn. it would need to be alcohol, I'm afraid.
Plus, when I'm on NoFap, I become an animal thinking about sex literally all the time.
>most of them are dislikeable bitches
I’m not the anon you were replying to, while you are correct about this, the part you’re not seeing is there are cool bitches out there. In my circle there’s some dudes with gfs who are nasty cunts that no one wants around, and then there’s gfs who are part of the circle who are just cool bitches. Cool to talk to, share common interests, not ugly at all either. You’re being blinded by porn and don’t even realize it. >they don’t talk to me
I used to feel that way. When I quit porn and masturbating and started fixing my life they came to me. I started getting laid. Idk why it is, if it’s just the way I carried myself or what but it’s real. I think to some subconscious level they know if you’ve been cumming. >I agree, but it is the cost to shift my anxiety and stress. Which one is worse? Getting tired or anxious and stressed all the time?
This is literally addiction dude. You get anxious without your fix. I’m not posting links because I can’t be fucked to dig them up but google is free. Porn + masturbation causes a similar effect on the brain as heroin. The massive dopamine spike then depletion, the prolactin spike afterwards. Feeling like shit or anxious without it is a necessary healing process. When nofap was first a thing, the recommended plan was abstain for 90 days. No porn, no fapping, no looking at softcore shit. Listen up this is important: at some point you hit a “flatline” period where you feel low. Low energy, low mood, low libido. That is also normal. It can start right away, or a few weeks in. It can last for various durations, usually 1-3 weeks. It’s normal. That’s also part of the healing process.
On the other side of it is feeling calm, level headed, focused, healthy levels of horny, and energetic all the time. You won’t turn into chad, but it will help you be more “human” for lack of better word. A stronger better you.
Well, I cannot oppose anything you've said, and since you gave me such a good answer I'll at least give it a chance. I already know it's going to be hard to sleep without it and I'll feel like shit, but fuck it, I'll try.
There's a girl who gave me some serious mires, I'm kinda thinking about her too.
Thanks Anon.
a supplement
look it up
it will change your life
it's super cheap
i'm honestly suprised most of IST doesn't know about this
if you're doing any sort of exercise running or weights or sport you need it
also for some reason it helps with sleep
nac sucks
limiting yourself to only dumbbells is retarded
carbonated sparkling water is fine
maybe just listen to no music if its such an issue lmao
trades suck coding sucks
women suck, i would rather have sex with men if i wanted to have sex at all
it's more like you fit a specific mold of a phenotype and are called such. your list is the type of cliche that fits very well with the specific self improvement autists that think these sort of specific actions will lead to a happy and enjoyable life. this isn't a jab at improvement, it's a jab at the type of person you are, retard.
>Sleep
Okay, yeah sure. Sleep is neglected nowadays. >NAC
No idea what that is so it's probably some shill shit. >dumbells
Awful advice, too general and simultaneously too narrow. You need a well-rounded lifting routine which itself will be dependent on where you are in your fitness journey and to match your fitness goals. >Run
Not bad but not necessary if you're doing other forms of cardio throughout the week. Even a half hour daily walk is more than enough. >fizzy drinks or takeaway
Takeaway certainly is going to be not great in the long run if you have too much but the McDouble is still a king in terms of macro/$ if you're in a situation where making your own food is untenable. Also, it's not the fizz, it's the syrup flavoring. Naturally flavored soda water or tonic is one of the best things you can drink. >Eat meat
Yeah, generally decent advice but just say "meat." Also, be sure to eat some fish. >fruit + veg
Yeah, good. >internet
Nonsense. If you have any kind of decent job you're using the internet for it almost certainly four or five hours a day. If you want to rephrase this to "Only 1hr of internet per day for non-work purposes" then, yeah, sure. Although in that case I'd say stay as close to 0 time as possible. The internet should just be a research tool not a place to waste hours of your life. >social media
If we're talking modern social media I agree whole-heartedly. If we're including forums (including leddit and IST) then no. Those are some of the better places for niche information. >No porn
No porn is a great idea. No masturbation is pseudoscientific nonsense. If you're not having regular ejaculations your risk for prostate cancer increases by a lot. Also, test levels peak 7 days from the last time you got your rocks off and then immediately recedes the next day. >Shampoo
I'll take it at face value but I've never though that much about shampoo.
>Also, it's not the fizz
obviously. you spastic autistic boomer. you don't need to explain like a sperg. everyone realises what the OP meant, most carbonated bullshit drinks are full of trash.
>3 meals
Nonsense, the number of meals makes almost no difference. Total calories and ensuring you allow protein to fully digest. >food or screens before bed
Screens absolutely not but food before bed depends on the person. >Stop watching stupid marvel movies
Can't disagree and could extend to several other series/franchises. >Classical
Absolute nonsense. Complete indefensible position. >Reduce chemical intake
Yeah, sure, okay. >Learn a trade or coding
Or any other number of valuable skills. Accounting, banking, copywriting, etc. are all valuable and don't fit either niche listed. >Talk to lots of women
Can't agree more. Too many kids think they're entitled to some hot young fertile virgin just for existing despite that being the minority of women people have married for millennia (even in the super holy ages everyone was getting groovy with everyone else of the same social class, read your Canterbury Tales). Get a girl that you make happy and that makes you happy and stop worrying about superficial shit. If you're not capable of being a sole provider you don't deserve a loyal stay-at-home mom.

If you think this is true you're a manlet.
Also I put 14 but I meant 15.
song lyrics make you suggestable
if you think you're not suggestable, you are
Instrumental music that isn't classical music exists.
listen to that then as long as it's not 3min long emotional roller coaster bullshit dubstep
Literally, unironically all me except I run 3x a week instead of 1x. I also jerk off and listen to more than classical music.
