Why is working out so important? aka Fire's 5 steps

[Martin]

@Fire

Since your sensitivity is low and your mind muddled, it is imperative that you work on your body and your mind. Working out 5 days a week is a must, 6 days optimal. Build your body. Put in the work. Just doing this is going to put you so much ahead in life in these times it’s ridiculous. This is how you learn to become a man. An actual man - through discipline.

Next, join martial arts. And when I say next, I mean all at the same time - start working out and do martial arts. Doesn’t matter what it is. You have to learn more about tapping into your masculine essence and drop this weakness that arises from a lack of it.

Next, meditation. I’m not the biggest fan of meditation as it’s horribly misused in these modern times and the ways to correctly meditate are extremely rare, but with all the working out and martial arts you want to balance it out, and even with a bad way of doing it you’ll still see massive benefits. Don’t bother with trying to find a correct way - that’s for more advanced stuff. Right now, you can take something as simple as breath meditation. This will further help clear your mind and build focus.

Next, financial/career. You have an idea of what you are interested in. Start learning it right now. There are countless courses on the Internet - do it. Once you start putting in the study time, start putting it into action. Stop wasting on things you don’t need.

Finally, self-reflect. Do this all the time throughout the day. Notice how your body feels and align it correctly. Notice how your mind is working and focus it. Notice your emotions, explore them and unfold them. After meditation, take some time (at least 15 minutes) to self-explore and reflect on your actions throughout the week and the day, your behavior, thoughts and emotions, as well as what you did wrong and what you can improve upon.

Ok I am starting now

Exercise, in any way shape or form, will change your life if you do it consistently.

I regret not committing to exercise earlier in my life, but it’s better late than never. Only a year of consistent exercise on my part has had profound benefits in every aspect of my life.

I noticed that those of us who work out tend to get better subliminal results in general. It may be a coincidence yet…

That’s actually hilarious because I noticed that when @GoldenTiger starting training with me his results started to come even faster and deeper. @GoldenTiger did you notice this or is it just me?

Exercise is a form of self care, self love. You’re putting in effort and time to build your body ignoring pain and forgoing pleasure. It’s a ritual that affects the body, mind and soul. You’re telling yourself that you matter and affirming it through actions, you’re Aldo clearing toxins from You’re body through sweat so it has lots of benefits and will surely help you get results.

So far I am only lacking the martial arts. But I have been thinking about it for a while.

Some real art, like Kung Fu or Karate, which focuses a lot on mentality as well.

Anyone any other guesses?

Not really We basically met each other at the gym

Anything you do that promotes plasticity, neurogenesis, metabolism, growth, adaptation, adjustment…

is going to facilitate and enhance your response to the subliminals.

Would microdosing do that as well?

I don’t know, but I get the sense that microdosing is a frontier that is being explored in real-time right now. Kind of experimental.

Depends what you’re microdosing; different substances have wildly different effects.

Amazon.com: How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics...

A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My...

2 great books on the subject; the latter is specific to LSD.

What about for mushrooms?

[BLACKICE]

Michael Pollan’s book covers psilocybin specifically.

Boxing did it for me. I tried full contact karate, but it was never “me”. I thourougly enjoy the cat and mouse game in the ring when you just want to punish your opponent for attacking and sometime just putting 110% to overwhelm your opponent. Mind and body mixed.

Lol, why is this post still up even though I deleted it?
I take it back, please don’t ban me
