I'm still fairly new to The Red Pill, I've been lurking and reading for about 1 month now, but I've noticed something these past few days I wanted to post about.

My mind is my enemy. I'm a former Blue Pill, its how I found this sub, and my mind trained itself and me to act and think certain ways. Ever since I found The Red Pill I've opened my eyes, but opening your eyes is only the first step and I can see how my brain is working against me now.

Story time: Today I woke up and was contemplating my workout and what sets I would do, and found myself thinking "you know what,... yesterday's workout was pretty hardcore I could probably get away with skipping today." WTF Brain!?

So of course I said F that and worked out even harder. Afterwards I was in the shower and found myself thinking that "I didn't really need to dress up for work today, it'd be a slow day and who would care right?" WTF Again!?

So to spite my excuse making brain I dressed up in a suit and tie, vest on, Eldritch knotted the tie, buffed the shoes, I went all out. And after such a great workout and looking so damn good in my suit I felt amazing.

I rode that feeling all day long today. I got a compliment on the way to work at the gas station, two girls were straight staring at me. I got even more compliments at work and on lunch at the restaraunt. I pulled the waitresses number today on lunch and I wasn't actively trying to, I didn't even ask.

Had my Blue Pill brain won out this morning I wouldn't have been so pumped and confident today, it'd have just been another normal "comfortable" day. There's no way I'd have pulled a number even trying, or any of the compliments I received all day.

So now I've come to the conclusion that I am going to start actively looking out for these times when my brain tries to make excuses for me, because it's "comfortable." I'm going to count them on my new Red Pill journey to see if I can not only notice them, but reduce them through changing not only the way I see things, but how I think as well.

The more and more I dig into the Red Pill the more and more I see the truths and how they apply specifically to my life, and the more I change for the better.

So I guess I just wanted to get that story out there because I found it very interesting. And I know there are other Red Pill newbies like me out there and they might be running into the same issue. Improve daily, never stop. We have to stay vigilant, even from our own minds as they were blue pill trained and will lead us astray if we let them.
