How do I maintain an Alpha mindset all the time?

All the time? It isn't worth the effort.

People who maintain tack-sharp precision crack up badly. Look at chess grandmasters.

The biggest advice I'd give is this:

In any situation, ask the question, "What is really my best play here?" 90% of beta behavior is just childish/lame shit that people do in the moment. Most people don't think at all, so even taking a couple seconds to calculate tends to put you ahead of the game.
Make yourself do at least one thing you hate at a gut level every day. Don't like lifting weights? Make it happen. Don't like getting up early? Make it happen. Running sucks? Too bad, it's happening. Once you've conditioned yourself to to overcoming that gut-level disdain, a lot of things become more possible.
Focus on the calculations that matter to you. A lot of what keeps beta types down is that there's always some motherfucker out there who needs saved. Fuck that shit. If saving them doesn't figure in any version of the equation where you get ahead, then that person is dead weight. This means family, friends, save-a-ho situations, work, you name it. It's amazing how much more energy you have when your life isn't bogged down with other people's pointless shit. (As an addendum, it's okay to help people who don't regularly need your help, but you absolutely have to lose the people who are in an endless state of crisis. Good people need help. Bad people are scabs that never heal, so stop wasting band-aids on them.)
Appreciate the value of cutting your losses. Not every bet pays off. That's just life. Job interview didn't go well? Approach didn't go well? Quickly review what happened, find what's worth caring about and correcting, and then forget it ever happened.
Don't dwell. Again, the quick review is your friend. The lengthy, self-flagellating review is the gateway to neurosis.
If you have nothing to do, do anything. Grab a hand weight and burn a couple calories. Grab a book and learn. Economize your time, because it will be gone soon enough. If a task doesn't help you grow, then remove that task from your routine.

Remember, nothing succeeds like success. If you feel you're putting your energy to good use, you'll have fewer low-energy days. That can have a compounding effect over time.

BE alpha instead of 'feeling like' an alpha.

No one is perfect man, as long as you recognize the things you did poorly and don't try to justify them you will eventually become better at them.

i think you are still in the "faking it" stage of "fake it 'til you make it." you probably doing well in your external behaviors but you still haven't built up the solid internal framework of self-confidence that supports the external alpha frame. keep working at it and eventually you will internalize this red pill alpha stuff and it will become your default way of living.

being a beta is exhausting. the alpha mindset isn't stressful if you're doing it right. you're relaxed and enjoying life. you don't give a fuck. not worried about pleasing other people or doing whatever society says you are supposed to do. no competition except yourself.
