Mental Fitness.
Patrician Week.
For 7 days you don't watch any film/show, porn/masturbate, video games, or any other media you consume like a drug addict.
You focus on reading, writing, thinking.
Physically and mentally breaking and rebuilding yourself.
Transcending the mind/body dichotomy.
You enter a new dimension of being.
This isn't a new years resolution, I never do NYR, it's unfortunate if you think it's a shallow NYR, just bad timing.
Leave all that aside, you're about to enter the road to the Godtrician.
Post your progress here.

>no shows
Fuck that.
>>35419686
that's denial speaking, you can do it, break your bondage.
>>35419696
Especially shows
Remember kids, the harder this looks for you the more you need it.
>>35419682
Ok will do
I think week 1 should be no 4chan
could you have posted this without sounding like a complete tool? /fit/ needs more self improvement threads without the autism.
Related: Is self-improvement and learning always painful? I feel like the fun quickly gets sucked out of things when progress is made a priority.
>>35419682
Fuck I am heavily addicted to being on my pc/playing vidya, I feel like this is what I need to get my shit together.
>>35419707
Post more cool pictures
>>35419716
>he fell for the progress meme
You will forever drift away from your goals, you will last couple of hours then watch something, day after day until you're 50 years old and all you have achieved is playing some stupid video game or rewatching a semi-funny show.
This is inevitable.
>>35419722
How u block 4chan on android? I tried this app but it somehow blocked all websites
>>35419682
I'll tell you what, OP. I'll do five days, since I'm on vacation anyways and I really do want to do some writing.
I'm also not gonna stop masturbating, because I do it for health and for my overall sanity than for the pleasure I get out of it.
Have a nice night.
>>35419738
I dont know what your intent is with this post but it is really inspiring.
>>35419730
Of course not. It's a western meme that one must suffer to achieve any kind of gain or enlightenment. You do have to invest time and energy into anything you do to receive any kind of output besides failure, that's a given, but it doesn't have to be painful in the slightest.
>>35419738
>implying there's a point either way
>implying someone who truly dedicates themselves to self improvement will achieve more than someone who exists for the sake of existence
>ask me about the heat death of the universe
>>35419744
Just don't come here you double nigger, if you need an app to do that then you're probably missing the point entirely.
Not that I think there is one, really, but I digress...
>>35419722
Only to post progress and discuss the mind/body exaltation.
>>35419730
The 'autistic' part is just me being cute.
It's painful only in the beginning.
Then it becomes a natural response and depending on the situation it can even be far more rewarding than anything else.
>>35419735
You should try nonetheless.
>>35419737
Doin it
>>35419738
Life itself is a meme.
>>35419744
Don't block 4chan, don't block anything, that's a bad habit.
You shouldn't rely on restrictions outside of your self.
YOU consciously must say no to temptations, every single time.
There is a huge difference, if you put restrictions from the outside you're not learning any self control.
>>35419759
As long as you keep masturbation once per day you should be fine.
Anything more than 3 times a day and your dopamine receptors will get overworked, at least it how it works for the average person from my experience.
>>35419722
It should be ''not wasting time on electronics''. 4chan, youtube, watching shows, movies, playing vidyas, etc.
Spend your spare time reading, writing, doing or meditating/focussing on yourself.
Will do OP. Also obviously won't report here.
I hate this because I know me or anyone in this thread will not last 1 day, 2 tops.
It never fucking works, no need to play this retarded game, just go on with your life and be chill.
>>35419826
To be fair, there are some of us here who watch shows for their philosophical context, who listen to intellectually enriching debates on youtube, and play video games to appreciate their artistry and the meta context of the story.
Then there are people who read and write nothing but smut and total trash.
It's not the medium that you should be concerned with, it's the content contained with that medium. I understand that this is supposed to be an enriching exercise, and I feel so long as you attempt to follow the spirit of that then it doesn't matter how you choose to engage yourself. So long as you remember to engage with whatever you're doing.
With the express exception of meditation, of course, because the general point of meditation is to disengage, though that's neither here nor there.
>>35419682
OK, but not on New Years. I'm finally gonna meet my cousins and game with them. Haven't seen them in 2 years and I have some catching up to do.
was in the middle of masturbating when i read this...and then i stopped.
Has anyone ever stopped halfway before (barring intrusion)? This feels weird. Where does this road lead Op?
>>35419858
What is learnt through reading is better absorbed than what is learnt through watching a video though.
Anyhow, if I don't leave now this guy >>35419834
will be right. So good riddance.
Ill only come here after 9:30pm to post and discuss progress
>>35419869
Sure buddy, this isn't some kind of grimdark ninja solitude glory path (or is it), we're being reasonable here, obligations and certain things should be done, it's when you have the free time and choice that you must discipline yourself to ascend higher than your primal impulses, which is to devour the first beacon of craving that manifests before your eyes.
And progressively achieve increasing tolerance and power over time/energy/life/potential consuming holes.
Thats the major step to exaltation (sounds so cool tho).
>>35419858
I'll wholeheartedly agree that any kind of intellectual stimuli is precious.
Regardless, we should avoid any kind of passivity.
What I'm saying is just try to keep it at a minimum and focus on your own self and for a week, instead of mainly absorbing, go outwards from within.
>>35419904
I have done that on several occasions, the first time was couple of years ago, I did it consciously.
It's bizarre, it's extremely easy and hard at the same time.
(le) Disclaimer:
You might shitty, uneasy, anxious etc. due to lack of stimuli your body is used to.
You must resist the temptations for 7 days.
I sound like a christian fundamentalist.
I can do this. But I might end up doing it for entire month.... I'll start sunday.
im on a 1400 40/40/20 calorie diet and im completing chem and phys on an mooc, do i win?
Theres literally nothing to do in my area besides play video games when im sore from lifting lol
My mental feels pretty fine though honestly, I found out how to cure my own depression yesterday but lets not get into that. (Lifting after not lifting for awhile -> realizing I was neglecting exercise, something that previously changed me for the better ect)
Good luck friends
>>35420354
Still if you feel depressed when you're not exercising then you're doing something wrong.
There are tons of people that are not depressed without the aid of any physical training.
>>35420354
Read instead of video games
>>35419910
>implying people all learn exactly the same way
>implying that all concepts are better conveyed through text than through spoken word
k
>>35420372
That's true, I'm gonna see a shrink soon actually just to help. Not gonna hop right on drugs either
>>35420401
I enjoy the team/working together aspect of video games with voice chat and friends. Though you are right, whenever I'd be playing alone I could read instead. That would probably actually be another milestone
m-me too
Will post progress.
What if you're already "doing it"?
I mean, I don't have TV, I stopped anime and video games 2 years ago, I'm already doing nofap...
Also, does drawing count?
Feeling euphoric af already
>>35421893
dude we're totally transcending existence atm
>>35419682
this is my new wallpaper
Does texting my girlfriend count? I doubt she'd like it very much if I stopped talking to her for an entire week. Simply because I wanna sit in the cold embrace of my basement writing poetry and reading books about over eating. :/
>>35421919
>girlfriend
dump that bitch. if you want to transcendent you mind and body you need to get rid of ALL distractions.
>>35419682
>mfw reading fiction books is classed as rebuilding yourself
how about some tasks to do or some general advice? the fuck am i supposed to write about?
tomy you can suck my dich
>reading
i usually do that
>writing
writing what? a journal? that's gay.
>thinking
i do this literally all the time
>>35419682
>tfw I haven't touched vidya in over a month, I used to play 12 hours a day years ago but I lost all interest when getting fitter, all I do is read, study, gym and shitpost on a zimbabwean pottery board
Still gonna slay Dark Souls 3 when it comes out, that shit is still in me
>>35419682
Actually sounds challenging. I'm down OP let's do it.
> patricians don't watch films

When you say read, do you mean read non-fiction? Or just...anything
