I believe that just as important as any of those actions we take politically are those we take to improve ourselves as people. Every man here is obliged to build himself into the greatest being he can be … especially if we expect to change society and convince people to follow us. We must lead by example. We must fight against the subversives preaching empty hedonism. We must, in every way, seek perfection; mentally, physically, financially, and in our relationships with those around us. Not just for the sake of our movement but for the inherent benefits it brings to our lives. So I ask, what have you been doing to succeed? And what advice would you give the rest of us?
Now, generalities are all well and good but there was a more specific reason for writing this. I'm trying to broaden my mind and want to know if Holla Forums has any documentaries, audiobooks or podcasts to recommend. I've got a 30 hour flight in a few days and I've just about finished Marcus Aurelius' Meditations so I'm scouring the internet for any podcasts I can use to keep myself occupied on the journey and afterwards. I'm particularly looking for audiobooks or podcasts in the areas of philosophy or history (especially with a redpilled or somewhat fascist perspective), but anything from technology, geopolitics, charisma & social manipulation, psychology, business & personal finance, science, or whatever else you think worth listening to would be greatly appreciated. Also, any interesting documentaries that I can watch with my conservative-leaning and traditionalist but not redpilled gf.
You might enjoy Earl Nightingale's Direct Line series. He talks mostly about philosophy and what makes a man, a man, but also a bit about what was happening in his time(the 50s and 60s).

How do I quit porn? I'd be able to stop masturbation outright or at least heavily limit it if not for porn. I need to quit it.

i really started decreasing after, and during, a two months of backpacking alone and with very little money in clapistan( eurofag here). before that i masturbated one or two times a day, everyday, and i thought that quitting, or rather very much decreasing, was some kind of superhuman feat. now i masturbate much less and to far less degenerate stuff or even without porn.
i don't know what it was, the lack of private spaces, being tired and sore, or a combination of both.
it was most likely the fact that i was already set on making some changes in a life i didn't actually like.
sorry for the blogpost.
Noah Long
You need to quit it permanently. Make the most solemn vow you can to yourself or to God or to whatever is most sacred to you that you will never again masturbate or seek out pornography.
The fear of the consequences of breaking that vow even once will give you absolute confidence in your will in the face of any temptation.
The moment you have any doubt whether you can do it, you have already failed.
The first few weeks will be hardest. Find an alternative way to release after 2 to 3 weeks, and once a month thereafter.

How was your trip, its unusal for me to hear or european backpackers in america usually thought it was the other way around. What was the biggest difference between the too and do you wish you had anything from america in europe?
Noah Mitchell
I like this advice. I have porn addiction to. I use it to escape reality and now everything else is boring and difficult.
Kayden Sullivan
Literally don't do it, resist the urge. At first it may be hard, but you overcome it. Do some push-ups when you feel like fapping. Go take a walk. Do anything that will keep you from masturbating to porn.
If that doesn't help, realize the porn you're watching is trash made by a kike.
Easton Jenkins
currently at my record of 14 days nofap (this is after a year of trying). One thing you can do is go for a walk in public when you feel temptations, because you're very unlikely to start masturbating to porn on the sidewalk. This was always hard for me to do because I have "welcome to the NHK" tier social anxiety.
Another thing that helped me is my mindset. This video gives you a reason outside of yourself to stop porn: youtube.com/watch?v=bmePrgRdRlQ watch the entire video, taking on this mindset of warding off "jewish magic" helps a lot.
Sebastian Cooper
THIS IS HOW HITLER TURNED GERMANYS ECONOMY AROUND.
i didn't plan for it and it was the first time travelling for me. and it showed. i realized right away that i had not much money to live and travel for a couple of months. that involved sleeping on buses, bus stations and hostels where there was one at hand. i hiked a lot, and my feet were very much sore until a protruding nail put the terrible shoes i had picked for the trip to rest.
aside that, it was not that bad, and with very few exceptions burgers had been awfully kind to me. in fact i still feel sort humbled by the spontaneus kindness i received. and my american family (i kept them at the very end not to run the risk or being some sort of parasyte to them), really gave me a lesson about the meaning of hospitality.
i'm not sure i would advise in good conscience, because i'm sure i risked my life a time or two , due to utter retardation.

That's where you wrong, kiddo. jk

Doing no faps is great. Suicidal tendencies get terrifically reduced, bigger drive to do things, and to get groomed even if there's nothing to do.
Doing no faps should be obvious. It also has beyond sexual benefits. Doing difficult things seems easier. I don't know how to explain it better.
Michael Mitchell
A series I'e found really interesting is Michael Sandel's Justice: What's The Right Thing To Do. Provides an accessible and interesting introduction to ethics and philosophy, making it easier to construct a cogent argument for what you believe in.
Jackson Green
Reframe yourself in your mind.
Instead of "I am a guy trying to quit porn and masturbation."
Think "I am a guy who does not watch porn or masturbate."
Hold yourself to this frame long enough and it will mold you into it. This is basic affirmation.
Isaac Robinson
I only just noticed I quoted the wrong post yesterday.
This is the good advice. Not that low energy advice.
Ryan Kelly
Get a nofap counter app.
I've fapped 4 times in the last 280 days. My best streak was 164. Currently at 25 and none of my relapses have been followed by binging. This is after years of trying.
Look into the Alpha Male 6 Subliminal. It's $500 USD but it's changed my life. I went from living in my parents basement to living on my own with my first gf. A girl who's virginity I took. That happened over a 12 month period. I competed in combat sport tournaments tasting victory and defeat and even experimented with a radical diet change that I stopped today. I also travelled out of country with my woman.
Reading sites like rollo and heartiste helped give me the knowledge to round out my ability to successfully interact with females and then this subliminal fueled it. Every time I leave the house now I see and feel women desiring me. I have 100% confidence that if shit hit the fan with my current, I would have her replaced swiftly.
Another good thing is getting a habit tracker app. I have things like: Lifting, Martial Arts, Shadow boxing, reading, meditation, etc on there.
These are just some things that have worked for me that aren't usually mentioned in threads like this. What's funny is I learned of this subliminal from some user in a thread on /fringe/.

Actually, that video gives a pretty different way to look at it, view it as a game and if you watch the porn you are losing the game.

Our Pagan ancestors knew how weak masturbating makes you. They knew semen IS a mans strength. Just look at society today. Low testosterone beta whites hiding inside. Degeneration.
We need to come to a conclusion on the best form of Paganism. I say we keep the image of Norse Paganism but with the knowledge of Bagavad Gita. God is the source of all beauty, all strength, all knowledge etc.
Whites have had all their ancient scriptures destroyed by (((CHRISTIANITY))). Now we are doomed, lost our souls, we are confused without an ultimate direction. We've lost our way and adopted THE WAY OF THE JEWS.

not worried. They're structurally incapable of recreating, emulating, or superseding what we've created because * they are the status quo * insecurity about being inferior underlies all of their actions which precludes natural muscularity that this medium thrives on

Good post
Robert Jackson
I'm giving this NoFap thing another try, I reached a point where I started being disgusted with myself with the shit I was using as a fap material, way too much shit from all sorts of degeneracy. I also became aware of my problem during backpacking, I'm thinking there's definitely a patter there like you said, when I stopped masturbating for almost three months:
*not privacy *being tired physically (sometimes mentally as well) *always "on the move" feeling while awake *always with a plan *not having a "boring/sedentary routine" *not having an easy access to a pc
Those are the ones that come to mind right now, now I'm not trying to quit altogether but rather take it down to once a week, then once every two weeks, then 1 month and so on, I know what many of you might say "quit altogether user, go for it, just stop completely" I tried before, believe me I tried and I failed, BIG TIME, and the relapse was even WORSE because I tried to stop altogether fapping so many times to extremly messed up stuff, so this time I'm taking a different approach on it. On the one hand, I'm afraid so many years of fapping to fucked up shit might have scarred me beyond repair, like an alcoholic that has to deal with his shit for the rest of his life because there's no "cure" for alcoholism… However, currently I was able to reach a new mind conditioning like none before, becoming redpilled combined with the fact that I spent so much time abroad in a foreign country focused mainly on enjoying my trip and experiencing adventure, I forgot almost completely about the need for fapping and I truly believe that kept me going for so long and eager to keep traveling and meeting new people, being so energetic during my whole trip and so active and willing to move around so much became associated with my cool travel experience so now the fact that I'm "standing still" is really annoying and boring, which is DANGEROUS, specially with a computer and internet at home, whenever I enter 8ch I have to be VERY careful not to check some places… that's why I try to focus on Holla Forums and one or two more non-degeneracy boards, I check them almost religiously, just as I used to check the fap boards so I guess I'm starting to channel that energy in something more productive already.
Now, whenever I'm tempted to fap I feel a weird feeling in my stomach that is very similar to nausea with an instant wave of pre-guilt, I dont know if this was self-trained per se or simply a reaction of my body to an old and harming habbit that wont entirely go away, but its the first time in my life I experience this and is filling me with a new found hope honestly, I am reaching my 35 now and I dont know if I can make up for all the lost time but I can definitely see myself getting more confident in the street, feeling less socially awkward during normal interactions with people and a slowly growing sense of self-respect within me each day, I'm making a conscious decision of keeping this from ruining my life and I'm starting to see it through.
I dont know if I would ever stop entirely though, I mean, is it healthy not to fap at all? is it so bad to fap every 6 months or so? I'm honestly asking here

Complete abstinence and complete pleasure yield conflicting reports. Some say abstinence is bad, some say ejaculating/orgasming every day is bad. The idea of No Fap is that you abstain for a year or so, find your waifu and then have with said waifu.

No fap always seemed like bro science , and I remember watching a youtube video of someone explaining it and the guy was citing some dogshit feminist site like the mary sue for his information.
Kevin Brown
I have come up with a great method, and it works! I used it to quit smoking also. It was easy.
The thing you need is some kind of rubber band around your wrist. Whenever you get an urge that you don't want, you pull it out and let it go, such that it slaps and hurts a little bit. you will gradually get less and less unwanted urges, as you program your subconscious mind to avoid it. but don't be crazy about it, just use the rubber band a little bit sometimes. It would be hard to go cold turkey on anyhing if you are very addicted to it.

I would work on beating porn addiction first, and masturbation second. I think for most people doing both is too much strain. If you can beat both at the same time, good for you.
Get your self one of Tony Robbins books and learn how your mind work, from there you can figure out what your strategy that gets you into trouble in the first place is and stop it. Pattern breaking is what he calls it in one of his books.
My pattern break is simple. I have all the major porn tube sites redirect to a video of a happy couple. That in itself is enough to make me go "Fuck, I'm losing sight of my real goal."

Cameron Wood
Me basically over the last 6 months
before
and then, I thought, "hey, I haven't been browsing imageboards for a while, I could check out Holla Forums also, someone said that there is good discussion"
and now, after SIX MONTHS
I did TRY to change my habits for years, with all kinds of methods, but nothing seemed to work out. After the biggest Trump-hype I really got the feeling that I can be a part of something big and achieve something big. Leftist "help" was pity and shame towards me, when I should have felt guilty for how I was living. It is obvious that people should know that degenaracy is disgusting and it does not make them victims, but hedonist cancer metastases of our society.
The (((so-called))) "AltRight" pretty much saved me life and made me complete. Leftists and jews are obviously trying to do the opposite.
Thank you Holla Forums.
And PS: Good thread.

Tao Te Ching
Short, concise, immensely powerful. You can breeze through it only a couple hours at most, but it's the kind of text which rewards dedication. Getting into Taoism was what helped me to realize that Trump would really win it.
This is the particular quotation that made me believe:
"To bear the calamities of a country, Is to be prince of the world."
As you can see from one of the pictures I actually created a wallpaper using the quote. It's shit but I appreciate having the reminder on my desktop. Some other choice quotes:
"When a wise scholar hears the Tao, He practices it diligently. When a mediocre scholar hears the Tao, He wavers between belief and unbelief. When a worthless scholar hears the Tao, He laughs boisterously at it. But if such a one does not laugh at it, The Tao would not be the Tao!"
"The best way of conquering an enemy, Is to win him over by not antagonizing him."
"Learning consists of daily accumulating; wisdom in daily diminishing.
Keep on diminishing and diminishing, Until you reach the state of Non-Ado (wu wei). Non-Ado, and yet nothing is left undone.
To win the world, one must renounce all. If one still has private ends to serve, One will never be able to win the world."
It's stuff that might appear superficial at first, but upon further introspection it always reveals itself to be profound. Applicable to literally everything, personal life, relationships, politics, business, finding happiness and joy. There are plenty of other books worth reading, but I've found very few with such unlimited value.

I don't want to go on meds though, but, it's getting to the point where I might have to unless I find a working alternative.
Justin King
I used to take meds for many years, just as a few close buddies of mine. You won't really change and the side effects can be harsh. I recommend yoga, meditation, tapping and massages. Watch what you think! Go on youtube and look for info and follow through. Anxiety can be hereditary but you also have to facotr in your attitude, behavior and your surroundings. Good luck.

While I'm not losing weight any more, I still feel miserable inside about 30-40% of the time. I've recently started to buy gourmet cheeses and sample them, so hopefully I'll have more energy.
How does one lose a small belly? My upper body is getting some definition and now I'd like to lose the belly and develop abs to fit in with the rest.
What's the secret to that? Should I eat less? Get some intense sweating? Some specific exercises?
Props for intense short duration exercises that won't fuck up my back, if that's the key at all.
Jordan Powell
need to strengthen your core muscles (not just your abs but your obliques and lower back) and burn fat
that's it.
Brayden Wilson
Attain something to get out of bed for. Make goals for yourself, but start out small.
Things like, get groceries but only what you need for the day. This will help you get up early because you will lack the things you need if you were to stay home all day.
Start with a diet, a specific diet like the keto diet will help you get into a routine of conciously deciding what you eat every day and will add feedback into your daily groceries.
Instead of using public transport or a car, prefer to use a bicycle or walk instead.
Add little subroutines every so often to keep from falling in any kind of rut.
Try getting a job at a cafe or something, you will meet a lot of people every day. Customers love talking about their lives, just doing this outside of busy hours is advised. This will expand your social circle.
Getting a job, no matter what it is will help you build discipline. Discipline you can apply to your own improvement outside of work.
I've done this based on another anons advice years ago. I now have a family I support, we live with my parents, but they, my girlfriend and daughter don't really mind. My parents babysit while my girlfriend and I work.
You can't have everything when you start from scratch, but you will find help and support as long as you show you're ready to help and support yourself.

what worked for me is chuck 3x the amount of water you to as soon as you wake up, then one thick buttery coffee. and since i changed my carb source to mostly sweet potatoes, this usually leads to a nice big morning shit. then i immediately go run 2 or 3 miles even though i never want to

What do, Holla Forums? I'm not even ugly or a beta faggot, I basically just have anxiety about escalating with women because of my lack of experiance and am most afraid that I'll be an awful kisser. There are plenty of grils that are very obviously interested in me, but I have a sort of mental block on how to get myself to go from flirty conversation to something more.
Speaking from my own experiance, I'd say stopping porn first is the way to go, especially if you've been trying nofap unsuccessfully for a long time. Don't try to use porn only moderately though, if you're really addicted, which I'm convinced the majority of frequent users are, you won't be able to do it. Set two or three days a week where you can fap and abide strictly by that schedule. Progressively decrease your fapping frequency every few weeks until you're not fapping or only fapping a few times a month.
Have a somewhat similar problem, I've found that laziness breeds more laziness and activity breeds more activity. It's really hard at first, but once you start accomplishing more it becomes something of a habit.
Adrian Lopez
You just gotta do it man. Like you'll be racked with anxiety at first, but then you discover girls are just humans too. You said it yourself
All you have to do is just take that first step even if it scares you. Alcohol helps a lot too. I find that I'm most likeable when I've got 3-6 drinks in me.

Understanding the difference between motivation and discipline may be the missing link for you. It was for me!
Here's an example:
Its a vicious cycle, but here's the solution:
Let's take working out. Just planning to workout takes motivation, so it's not motivation that you're lacking. It's discipline. What's the difference? Motivation is something you feel while discipline is something you do regardless of how you feel. Like all feelings, motivation comes and goes. Sometimes you feel it, other times you don't. Discipline, once cultivated, is constant because once a person has experienced the benefits of living a disciplined line, he won't desire to return to his past way of living. So try adopting the mindset that you need discipline and not motivation. In fact, motivation should be the reward of having discipline.
Just start. That's all you need to do. Pick one of your goals and spend 1 hour working towards it today. Repeat this with the same or another goal tomorrow. Do this until you're ready to add more to your daily schedule. Here's a few goals I suggest:
Start with just one thing you'd like to accomplish and work at it every day. If you do this for just a couple months you will notice a dramatic change in your perspective. Do it for one year and there will be a dramatic change in your life.
