eat well

try to converse and understand people from all cultural backgrounds, basically try to be as unjudgemental as possible, but not in a SWEDEN YES way.

read a lot in two languages

study mandarin

watch inspiring anime with good moral ideas, values, and role model worthy characters


that's it, not too much. need some physical activity or sport or whatever, but so lazy and shy.

You are doing the classic, making my life better shit but I'm pretty sure none of that really works.

I basically work really hard and save for a few months, then blow it for the next few months.

When I graduate I'll slow down a bit but reading 90 strategy books wont change shit.

you just have to not be an autist and find good in even something as seemingly simple. not mentioning that it's miles better than shitting on each other in latex suits, classic german pastime, real self-improvement, right, Hans Christian Panzersson?

It's just all the admirable shit that you hear and think sounds good.

Self improvement is a little culture/movement where people do abstract things in the hope of achieving abstract goals usually have a few inspirational ted talks under their belt too.

nah, dont listen to these retards. if you only use water both or one of the times, it's fine. just dont use soap and shampoo everyday, it deteriorates your skin and hair. and when you use soap, only use it for crotch, armpits, behind ears etc, only dirty smelly areas with non-water-soluble sweat.

Well, I've met 10+ people who are mildly to extremely successful by western, developed countries standards, and who watch anime. You're being retarded, close-minded, geriatric son of a bitch, that's all. Why would you be butthurt? because you keep replying. Is it that time of the month, is arthritis bothering you again, or what?

You probably have some goals you want to achieve. Just adjust your daily routine so that you will be able to achieve it in small steps. Putting all your time and effort in just one thing is really tiring, and you will eventually quit if you don't see results as fast as you want.

Someone sounds resentful here. I use my diary to analyze what happened in case something goes wrong, and use it to learn about what not to do in the future. I check how my opinion about the situation has changed over time, and wether or not it is justified.

BULL
SHIT

the fluctuations in metabolism rates even between an Auschwitz prisoner and 400 kg average American are so small they are negligible. and Auschwitz prisoner actually might have slower metabolism than 400 kg average American.

You're just not eating enough, overestimating how much you eat, or underestimate your daily physical activity.

I was around 75kgs for many years, started lifting and thought I was eating a lot but didn't really gain any mass
Finally I started somewhat calculating my calories and ate around 6-8 meals a day and I was 95kgs at my heaviest

And what do you do for the people in your life? Your friends, family and your community? How do you improve morally? Are you doing this self improvement thing as a personal masturbation thing to gratify your narcissism or is there a moral aspect to it?

Self improvement is often a "i am gonna be better then you" thing

there is no point in trying to improve myself physically because I will always be ugly its just more discouraging
