Hey trp,

For the past year I have been raising my SMV without consciously knowing about TRP.

Things I have been doing:

  • Kickboxing twice a week (always been skinny but now I am toned but not muscly)
  • Photography / Asian Cooking / Product Design, night classes
  • Working occasionally on personal projects
  • Doing social stuff (meetup.com , political party, hackathons)
  • Job interviews to keep my interviewing skills sharp.

I don't drink, smoke and have been caffeine free for 4 years.

Now I have been offered a better job in London and will be moving there in the next 6 weeks.

So I am planning on doing an intensive monk mode for a month. This is what I have planned.

  • Try and understand what /r/malefashionadvice is saying, I can't understand them
  • Get cosmetic surgery to remove some moles on my body (improve self image as the moles make me feel ugly)

Since I have a months notice, I will be stuck in the office for most of the day doing nothing. So I plan to try and utilise this for some continuous professional development.

The question is, what next?

I feel that, once I have finished these things, I can then put on the mask of how I wan't to present myself. However I am not sure if I have covered everything.

I feel more confident and happy with myself but I guess it will all come down to when I try the game.
