"what can I do? Give me something that will fix me! Let me read your advice on how to not be a cunt!"

Fuck you man. You have to internalize this shit. And realize that there would be no top 5% men in smv if there weren't people below them. So, where are you on the ladder? How long is your current dryspell?

What are some good things to do on "beta" days to pull myself up out of a rut?

Get back on the bus. There's really no other way to describe it. You can take a day off from doing 100% but you always need to be realistic about where you're going with this. Maybe your cage really is comfortable enough.

I'm shaking my head at the lack of serious responses here. We all have our off days, our more beta days, our kinda vulnerable days where, whether because of the weather, stress or sleep deprivation, or some external force, we get down. It happens, so can we simply admit it?

On some days you won't feel like challenging yourself, you'll just want to easily cruise through the day. I usually spend those days alone and I've developed a disciplined routine to keep me from getting into a negative mindset: I stop whatever I'm doing and make myself a hot cup of green tea. Tea is always good. Coffee works too! This helps increase my mindfulness if my mind is wandering or stuck in negative thought loops. Then I crack open a book or start working on a hobby--againm things that I know can help to reset my mind. I advise a mantra or a routine to help discipline you.

You might not feel like doing much in the beta state. Might feel depressed, unmotivated, lost. Again, the mantra helps. And remember discipline takes you farther than passion or motivation. Harder done than said, but sometimes forcing yourself to change your surroundings (go on a walk/run) changes your perspective and gets you out of the beta mindset. Hope this helps!
