  1. I second this one. It's the best self-development/psychology book I've read. Dense with detailed content, practical examples as well as deep insights. Everyone should read it.
  2. Interesting. I don't have a religious perspective at all, but I would like to incorporate spirituality into my life as well. I just can't seem to find time for it - as you said, getting distracted by the constant chase of productivity and results. Going on a retreat where all you do is pray/meditate/contemplate/take part in the community sounds pretty great. Let's see how it motivated you really are to crush it now! ?
  3. Board games are a very 'friendly' activity, something to do with your buddies. I'm not saying it's a bad date, but it doesn't set a tone of man-to-woman interaction. Also, some girls are just shy or really just want to follow your lead, wherever it goes. If she says she was really excited to see you and had a great time, that's a clear signal for you to take it further. Even though she might have not actually enjoyed it, it's likely that she is still into you and just wants to do something else - possibly more physical ? Just my guess from a brief text description.
  4. For me, quitting gaming media is much harder than quitting gaming, but I'm already at day 49 so it's definitely possible ? What do you do when you eat? I have this habit of always watching some stupid videos during lunch/dinner.
  5. Dude, you passed 90 days? You finished the detox! That's incredible! Gratitude is an important part of being happy, take time to look back and realize your success!
  6. Good job! I feel like the social aspect of gaming was a big pull for you, so this is something you need to be very cautious of, and to not rationalize going back to gaming with "meeting friends". Keep going!
  7. And what's your step-by-step strategy to make that vision a reality?
  8. Vielleicht könnte ich auch teilnehmen! Ich hab deutsch für 5 Jahre nicht benutzen, aber es könnte eine gute Gelegenheit zu üben sein^^
  9. I'm sure the reasons are strong enough. They are just not emotionally charged enough. I'd suggest two things: Make them more specific - instead of "I want to be more healthy", say for example "I want to have 10% body fat in a year". Or instead of "I want to be more social" say "I want to be meeting 1 new girl every two weeks". Visualize them - just sit down and visualize yourself having achieved those goals, one by one. Not just the imagery, but also the emotion, how awesome it will be, how you will feel, try to immerse yourself in the fantasy. Then, visualize the road towards those goals the same way. What I like to do is visualize my life 15 years ahead, then 10, then 5, then 1, and then visualize the next day(or right after I'm done with the visualization). If you want a really good pump-up as well, incorporate some fist-pumping, power-poses, smiling, jumping, anything physical - this will change your state immediately and coupled with the visualization, will leave you motivated as fuck.
  10. Remind yourself why you're doing this. The inconvenience and uncomfortable feelings are a very small price to pay for the goals you're going to achieve! Keep up the good job!
  11. Although of course, it's good to make things as easy as possible, be careful to not follow this principle in general. Sometimes, you gotta push through even if you're tired, even if you don't feel like it, even if you're in a bad mood, even if the environment or the money or opinions of others are not just right. This is what distinguishes the good from the great - excelling at times when other people would quit. I don't mean to preach, just my 2 cents ?
  12. Good attitude! In a sense, you can be glad that your response is anger, rather than depression. It indicates that you automatically fight back, rather than succumb to fear. You can transfer this into a very strong drive to pull you forward.
  13. Welcome. I can sense great memes coming from this one.
  14. Welcome back! Let's work on our productivity together one step at a time!
  15. Congrats dude! This is big!
  16. Haha I love this. Some people pick up the bottle when they get upset, you pick up a coloring book, respect ? I like how you keep detailed stats, I like to do that myself
  17. Damn dude, I'm jealous of how much you're crushing it? Keep up the good job!
  18. Welcome! I hope this can be a safe place to open up about the issue for you. Even though it's "on the internet", I've always felt like the community is quite close and welcoming, so feel free to speak your mind.
  19. Welcome! I also share your sentiment about gaming and how people underestimate the impact, even if it's not completely destructive to the entire life. Good luck!
  20. Welcome back! Some good insights there. Good luck on the journey, this time more experienced ?
  21. Kids don't go trick or treating, but there's always a ton of Halloween parties in the city. Do people rent the costumes or make something themselves or is it just make-up? I'm fascinated by this concept. It's like a permission to be silly. We should have more of those.
  22. Hang in there! Things might have been better, things might have been worse. Doesn't matter. All you have is your current state and a set of actions you can take. As long as you keep taking the one you consciously decide is best, you're being successful.
