Lacking motivation after GOW

And there is no problem with any of this.

Men are human "doings"

People think if a man is not DOING something he is a loser, or un ambitious or selfish yadda yadda.

Dont be afraid to just. BE

Fuck the pressure to be doing something. The pressure to always be working toward something, fuck take a breather. And just exist. Meditate or even just say fuck it im not leaving my house the whole weekend. Fuck that oitside noise!

Here's the thing about MGTOW: it doesn't matter if you're not a go-getter...life goes on

I'm the opposite coin: I was goal-driven before MGTOW and MGTOW only enhanced my abilities to focus since I no longer need to occupy my mind with women

My health, wealth, non-romantic relationships, and hobbies are doing better than ever with this new level of focus

you are cultivating a very healthy dispassion towards life. Don't let anyone tell you there is anything wrong with you. This is what many monks would call the beginning of wisdom.

I do it for myself, plain and simple. Going my own way means dressing, eating, and doing things "my own way" as much as possible. It just happens that i enjoy taking care of (haha..masturbation jk) and challenging myself in all facets of my life. I might not play their game, but I play mine, which happens to have more challenging levels.

Hey I thought it was just me. I have maybe a bit too much ZFG.

Well view life as only a test, an opportunity to improve and better yourself, and equally important is to get rid of bad habits and practices. If you still ask why, whats the purpose. You may find your answer in religion. Religion is a way to prevent being subverted because you have a goal that's above anything this world could offer.

I'll just warn you that if you don't care about your looks long enough magically you become attractive. AWALT fucking crazy

MyHearse · 2017-02-09T13:36:35+00:00

I quit lifting and holding frame..

Why?

I'm ugly and I'm going my own way now.

More time for video games and whenever I go out I have noise canceling headphones on blasting Brutal Death Metal.

No one dares approach me.

Winning!

Thinking ape has many videos on the topic. Here is one of them:

Maybe you pick something useful.

First calm down. You are a man, one of the most incredible creatures that existed on this planet. Adopt as a motto to look sharp as a razor blade, work on your looks. Go lift. Period. Check your sleep patterns.

You should eat properly.

No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training…what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. – Socrates

I love that quote.

I'm also a fan of Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Currently dealing with this too. I know I should be exercising but I can't get the "energy" to do anything but sit on my ass.

I find what motivates me is finding people who are busy or are doing things. I like to hang out with my dad and just do stuff/work with him at things which keeps me busy quite a bit.

BooDoug · 2017-02-09T05:53:07+00:00

detoxing...

shellbroth · 2017-02-09T10:29:20+00:00

I've been "my own way" for 9 years, I had this phase when I didn't take car of myself anymore for a few years, I kind of hated myself at that time. But now I like having nice clothes again, a nice pair of shoes, a nice watch I appreciate, a funny t-shirt that makes me smile each time I see myself in the mirror, grooming my beard so it looks nice on my face, etc.

I don't do it for someone else, but for myself. I'm complete monk for almost a decade now... But I like myself better when I think I look good.

Coluphid · 2017-02-09T14:23:54+00:00

You've swallowed the Black Pill.

What you need is to keep persuing knowledge. There is a lot more behind MGTOW than you'd think. The reasons why feminism, social justice and cultural Marxism are being pushed so heavily, seemingly from all sides.

Once the bigger picture comes into view - the last of the lies ripped away - you will have purpose. The ultimate purpose.

owq · 2017-02-09T15:19:43+00:00

Hmm... I still believe in eating properly because it keeps your mind and body sharp. Looks not so much, maybe groom a bit and clean clothes is ok. Other than that, I feel more zen. Just being alive is enough for me. I can generate joy on my own.

LeadSlinger11 · 2017-02-09T17:15:49+00:00

Going through this at the moment. Nothing in life fires my motivation anymore. I'm just coasting. It sucks.

Folwart · 2017-02-09T18:24:23+00:00

I fall into lulls. You just have to ride it out, focusing on making small improved to my day to day eventually gets me through it. In the mean time, I just go with it. If it lasts more than a few weeks it may be time to kick yourself in the rear and just do something. Start that project, learn that thing, etc.

Use the DGAF attitude to stand for something important and greater than yourself.

Like Tyler Durden in Fight Club. https://youtu.be/2CLTBV0SV2Y
