Good: - been working in making myself my own mental point of origin - been managing my first redpill LTR effectively. - been keeping a journal and working with CBT to help mitigate stress and anxiety

Bad: - Been working doubles the past week to meet expenses and have missed a lot of workout days - college kid diet doesn't afford me the luxury to buy all the types of food I really should be eating - might have to move back in with parents unless I find another job quick

Keep grinding fellas. The world don't give a fuck about us or our issues. The only people we can rely on are ourselves.

Good: *Started controlling my diet *Keeping my hands off my money. Gotta save. *Listening to podcasts/reading things that will help me. *Partaking in the Red Pill salad bar.

Bad: *I've been sleeping... a lot. Too much. 7 PM to 7 AM. *I haven't been meditating. *I've been sleeping in so much that I've missed workouts. Gonna force myself into the gym directly after work today.

I am too annoyed to talk about the good.

I chatted up a cute girl on the train yesterday. She actually said she likes hanging out with Westerners more than other Arabs....Muslim but non observant, from Dubai. It would have been so fitting, as my last two women were Jewish.

Did I ask for her number or to meet up after work? Of course I didn't. That would mean I want to get laid or something. Heaven fucking forbid.

Instead, after watching the game I went to the local bars. Stupid. Waste of $20, extra calories, hangover. I am too old to pull from the local bars, at least for night game....happy hour game, it's possible, but night game, impossible.

There's a reason that daygame is best for older guys looking to hook up with younger women.

Life Purpose: to become the most efficient I can possibly be.

switched to eating a 90% organic/freerange/grassfed diet. results are fucking insane day 3. this will enable me to lift and recover much better and faster.

started really really living like life is a VR simulation. created by me. the sims 1000 from the year 4017. i dont think im even able to feel pain anymore.

speaking of which, ascended to a GTX 1080, did not dent finances one bit

today is my 3rd and final workout of the week. weekend carb loading days will be a lot cleaner to further improve efficiency

speaking of efficiency, cleaned up my PC a bit and switched from goolag chrome to Vivaldi browser (much less resource-sucking). switched from goolag search to duckduckgo. and adblock to ublock. this has enabled me to operate faster, cleaner, and more efficiently, as well as boycott goolag. huge step into helping me become as efficient as humanly possible.

Good:

Started meditating first thing when I wake up. Really good feeling as it gives me the feeling of grabbing my day by the throat
Running either first thing in the morning or at night
Applying for higher paying jobs, and not giving a shit about the rejections
Thinking about starting monk mode ASAP. Been feeling confident since after my recent break up, but realizing more and more how I need to socialize less and work on me more.

Bad:

I didn't beat myself too much over this, but I saw my ex last night outside at a local bar. I was having somewhat of a good night, but then all the feelings rushed back. I was drunk and sad that we've become strangers. When I woke up, I realized how much BS that was and how I could've stayed longer. Lesson learned.
Haven't read as much as last week. I finished a book last week. This week, I barely did 20 pages. Willpower is key.

Keep hustling, men.

mental_models · 2017-09-08T16:46:21+00:00

BAD

Omega-ing (by being withdrawn, uninvolved,) far too often. Rationalizing it as MGTOW and/or 'situational strategy', and/or a reaction to boring low-value situations. I need to participate more when I'm 'stuck' in a situation(it's still an opportunity).
I need to better structure my time with more high-value/stimulating social situations (and less bullshit).

Good

Started a much better long-term career path
also Got a separate improved part-time job
Joined a gym

Getting closer to completing a personal training certification.

Developing the boldness and character to be confident and not get stepped on over the past year is going good. This week I've been talking to girls, getting way more social improvement and am being greeted everywhere at the gym and around town now. Conversational skills are getting better as well.

I already see it having huge effects in other aspects of my life. Thanks TRP.

If any of you guys are in these types of professions, let me know any red-pill advice you might think benefits me.

theoracleofbromaha · 2017-09-08T15:26:22+00:00

Good • consistent 30 minutes to an hour a day studying for a professional certification • consistent gym efforts training for a triathlon • have read and kept up with daily journaling

Bad • blew up my options account by gambling large lumps of my savings • lost two plates due to me becoming less mysterious and replying way too much to bullshit • have not navigated office politics well in the last few weeks and feel that I have been excommunicated from the "inner circle" (CEO, upper management)

AskForARoast · 2017-09-10T13:27:18+00:00

Good

Worked out
Went on an epic hike up a place called "trolltunga"

Its kinda been a bad week. bad mood and just feeling a bit shitty. way less social mood, i dont know why or what really changed since last 2 weeks. Going to have to pick myself back up.

Plan

godfatherlebron · 2017-09-08T16:52:19+00:00

Good

been on a few dates w this girl and escalated, though ironically she becomes a bad discussed below
improving my career by extending networks for sure. Standing out amongst others type thing
started new gym Programme after injury. Went from 5×5 to phrak's gslp
great time talking to a random cute girl I saw and just thought why not. Got the FB, gonna hit her up for sure
had a party, good social presence w the girls

Bad

didn't get much work done
haven't meditated twice a day in a long time, struggling with even one
a girl just let me go. I know. I thought she was a unicorn. She was just completely different. Didn't want to carry on feeling that it was moving to relationship. It hurts even after all I know. I needed it. I've dated a variety and she was completely unique. She didn't have any dating or boy experience so got cold feet. Yeah I'm hamstring haha. Fuck. Oh well. This way I know never to trust any female in the future. Lesson learnt having gone through it. Experience is far greater teacher than theory but it sure sucks shit. Any words of support and advice appreciated

CarotasPL · 2017-09-09T11:25:19+00:00

The most important: I asked a friend of mine if my speech has improved(cluttering problem) and he said it's much better, I struggled with this for over 17 years, years of attending to speech pathologist and now I feel able to speak to strange people and I LOVE THAT, I'm so proud of myself and I want to improve more and more(When I was a few years old no one woud understand me, even family, now I can easily speak to everyone :) ) I don't afraid of reading the text at school or anything related to speech now. I still got this problem but first time I know made a really good progress.

First times I got brofists with people spoting me at gym, I have a large lack of social skills and I loved that too (#nohomo), It just gave me energy like someone would support me (I know it's stupid but little gesture means a lot), When I hit the gym first time I afraid to ask for anything but even when I'm there for lifting it helped me overwhelm my social anxiety.
I'm going to start meditation tomorrow (I have to improve more mental side of mine)
I'm going to running tomorrow(20x of 200m sprint by turns with 200m walking every walk, I've got PE at school and I have to improve my stamina to play with other classmates(I won't be the worst one, no more)
I started wash my skin twice a day and use a cleanser and I don't have problem with acne no more, no more feeling ugly.

-Hiting language school next month, I know have to figure out time for learning english language and math.

-Feel good, I feel emptiness at evenings and sadness but now when I writing things i improved I feel peaceful and calm

-chose the scent (I had looking for the nice one for around 2 weeks so in Monday I'm going buy the one)

-I'm going to buy in Monday the rubber band for improving pull up

bad things

-Approached the girl I tried once. Of course it didn't work (Fuck her)

-A few months and I have no one to go with at prom, I feel so overwhelmed by this

-The subjects i chose 2 years earlier (extended history and civics) are useless for me(I want to be engineer not lawyer now and I won't chose them to exam for matura exam(polish the SAT) have to learn subjects (english&math on my own with passing in school extended version of these two above mentioned:/)

-cannot progress at gym (have no noob gains)

-My nutrition is 100% shit(have no diet, eating 1/2 meals per day, too much candies)
