Monk Mode: Day 1

Argghh...

You took a job with a 5 hour commute and there was no way to live closer. Boy, there's a whole lot of stupid in that sentence.
You got butthurt by the boss and shot your own foot off now you don't have an income and you're and adult living at home with your parents.
You're browsed red pill but haven't put in any work and you're whining to use about your poor little anxiety and depression. What do you expect us to do? Have you climb up on our laps so we can cuddle you? Fuck you. We ALL have some amount of anxiety and depression but we get up every single fucking day and push forward.
You're fucking around with shit that doesn't matter so you hope installing some software will force some discipline in your life. Weak. Be a man. Do it yourself and develop some discipline in your life. Stay off social media. Set a time limit on how much you browse reddit and stick to it. Stop laying around reading about all these RP tricks that will make you a man and get busy handling your shit. Get a fucking job.
You should be lifting. Stop with the excuses. Lift. Find some way. Don't sign up for long term contracts. Pay month to month if you have to but lift. Yes, it's worth it. It's rule #1 for a reason.
Sleep - Your body can't function without proper sleep. You're not sleeping well because you're laying around all day whacking off to porn, reddit and your sorry life. Make a plan and stick to it.
Discipline - make a plan and stick to it... We are not going to spoon feed you shit.

Dude, life is hard.

Now I'm one that usually goes with tough love, however this time I will go easy on you.

1 - Discipline 2 - Discipline 3 - Discipline

Got it?

Good.

So what you need is to discipline yourself to

a) Wake up early

b) Stay out of reddit, youtube, whatever and send 50 CVs per day as well as improve your portfolio and working

c) Go to the gym and lift! Yes, 65$ is worth it. Lift, if you are new, start with a Strength Training Program like Strong Lifts 5x5 for example. The personal trainer can help you with form, which is SUPER important. If the trainer insist on you following a specific routine made by him, be suspicious, usually these are shit. Post it on reddit on the proper board.

d) I don't know exactly what 'problems with depression and anxiety means'. Gym will give you a nice boost to that! Will lift your spirits in no time.

e) When speaking with people don't act lethargic! Be energetic. In fact be energetic with everything you do in life. If you don't feel energetic, pretend, until you get to the point of fooling yourself.

f) When interacting with people, if usually you are not interested, pretend to be! In no time it will become automatic for you to genuinely be interested in everyone. People will feed out of that vibe and will really like to talk/hang with you.

g) Go to bed early! You already know that you shouldn't take the computer to bed, so DON'T!

h) Come back here tomorrow and make another post (day 2) telling what you did to improve. I will make sure to look for it.

I know it's easier said than done... this being said, do it!

I could wish you good luck, but you don't need that. All you need is Discipline.

Just remember that you gotta go hard when in monk mode. I thought i was in it for the longest time but realized true mm is going balls to the walls in terms of development. IF your'e asking whether the gym is worth it you aren't ready.

Advice? It depends on what you want. Do you want to be that guy larking away at his parents house watching dumb shit on YouTube all night or do you want to be the guy who's smashing it at the gym and doing cool shit?

In the mean time when im getting ready for bed, I leave my electronics in another room.

Don't go into Monk Mode go into Warrior mode. You saying 'fuck this; just because your boss didn't give you a raise was a bad decision in my opinion. If he didn't give you a raise that means you didn't earn it in his eyes the next step would be to work harder for the sake of attaining what you feel you deserve. I don't have a car I was taking summer classes and working and my commute via bus and train was about the same. This is why i say warrior mode a lot of times we have to go through pain and discomfort to attain the things we want and to do the tings we have to do. However, If you didn't connect with the job anyways and was seeking something else that fine but it would be better to keep the job until you had a definite replacement.

But that's all in the past. As of now you need to look at whats important to you at this point in your life and systematically find ways to acquire these tings. Fitness, mediation, clean eating, discipline they are all tools and empower you to live out your vision. $65 a month might be too expensive if you are currently out of a job, unless your freelance work produces and semi steady and predictable income every month. If that's not the case you can always start with calisthenics. You already know where you are messing up with sleep just put it into action.

The glue that will help discipline and your new habits stay in tack is vision. You have to have a vision that you are trying to attain and know that that vision cannot be attained without discipline, good sleep, fitness, meditation, etc. This is especially the case when dealing with depression and anxiety. I'm not gonna kill you for mentioning it because I dealt with such things. My advice in that regard is just to never see yourself as a victim; act in spite of whatever deficiencies you feel you have. Also you have to create a success loop in your daily activities; that helped my depression and the way I felt about myself. If you never miss a workout and begin to see your body change you'll begin to trust yourself, your ability to be an active player in your life, and the notion that your visions can come to life.

I recommend you write down your vision for the next six months and dissect it into daily activities and make sure you do those activities every day. Start small and focus on one area of your life. After you experience consistent success in that area move on to another area. I recommend you begin with finances. You're doing freelance work now make sure you develop a budget and a savings.

Go to gym every 2 day and use a program like "starting strenght".

Take cold shower and dont avoid water, wake up early, complete every job in time and dont postpone, dont jerkoff, dont hesitate leaving comfort zone when you need to. Stay indiffrent to pain&pleasure when you are on a mission! Focus on achieving what you want. These will discibline you over time. Make you more confident, stoic, successful.

whatever you do, don't stop masturbating. think of your erect penis as a big middle finger to all of the extremist religions of the world that have tried to make you feel bad for pleasuring yourself
