Human beings need to be happy. A prolonged period without happiness can send our lives spiraling out of control. But for those of us who are or start out extremely blue pill or beta, the process of becoming red pill aware can be a huge shock. We can easily make the mistake of obsessing over not being blue pill while what we should be focusing on is becoming red pill.

Don't give up video games just yet. Take some of the time you would ordinarily spend playing games and make that gym time. Don't give up shitty food all at once. Replace one meal at a time with healthy food until the majority of your meals are healthy. Don't shut down socially. Slowly begin to recognize blue pill behavior and slowly replace it with red pill behavior. Don't drop your current friends immediately, even if they are crabs holding you back. Slowly replace them with better friends that you meet at the gym, the job, etc.

The center to all this is that you have to be solidly confident in who you are. This does not mean in what you like, how you act, what you do, etc. This means that core of your person - call it the consciousness, the soul, the heart, whatever. You have to be confident in that part of yourself before everything else. If you define yourself by your behavior, the current reality of your blue pilled self might send you spiraling. But if you accept that you are a blue pill for now, you will be paradoxically find the confidence and internal serenity required to move into the red pilled future.
