I have started a 30days no tv series /movies challenge bc in the last 5 months i wasted ridiculous amounts of time watching them (i had a significant ego backlash and watching them was a way for me to distract myself from my challenges) . 

  • 1st day:  i felt a moderate urge to watch some tv series (Ash and the Evil dead and It's always sunny in Philadelphia).  I resisted.

  • i felt guilty for not have started pick-up months and years ago. (again)
  • 3rd day of NO TV SERIES/MOVIES: moderate desire to watch some MOVIES
  • i will make that smoothie tomorrow....
  • now i am sorting my notes out from that book and i will read them once a week for a month 
  • i will start listening to reading  ``the defining decade``Daygame`` tomorrow or smth like that 
  • i realized that i cant distinguish whether a salesperson is telling the truth about a product or not. My intuition tells me that he is honest but the facts tell me he`s lying
  •  
  •  
  • i realized how much of a rabbit whole is to buy the  decorations and furniture for your place. there is all that daydreaming that people will like your design and that you`ll feel a little peace of mind , but only after you buy all those objects. all you want are pleasant feelings,right? You can get good feelings and even more by meditating and doing countless positive habits for free!
  • i asked a teacher various questions about her life :
    • one of  them was  : ``Are your fellow  colleagues gossiping and separated in different rival groups like in high school?``
    • she told me ``high school never ends``.  Her colleagues  talk about each other`s shit behind their backs just like teenagers do!!
    • also, they aren`t a united community as i expected
    •  Of course that i know that people at large gossip regardless of age but i had high expectations  from intellectuals
    •  Although they gossip more subtle way than younger people.

OTHER:

  • 4th day of NO TV SERIES/MOVIES: moderate desire to watch some tv series.
  • i did not organize my schedule properly so i had no time to do make  that smoothie . 

  • There is some invisible unwritten rule on this forum ``dating and pickup is bad -concentrate only on enlightenment``. As a consequence i feel slightly worried and ashamed of talking about my dating /youngster  problems to not be seen as dumb. But is all in my head and this journal keeps me on track so fuck it . Knowing that i can basically abandon this account at any moment without any real-life repercussions gives me courage to express myself, regardless of possible negative feedback.

  •      i watched a play held by teenagers at a small theater. It was so painful to watch that started daydreaming about being anywhere else but there.      SO MUCH CRINGE    But i had some deep insights so it was worth it in the end.

    • i could not help but feel embarrassed and anxious just by witnessing it . i got triggered emotionally a couple of times.

    • SO MUCH CRINGE 

    • I realized that i had avoided so many naturally embarrassing  situations over the years at the point of forgetting that i have my own unresolved self-esteem issues. 

    • i thought that i am not cool enough to approach girls. nonsense. it was fear talking! i am in a conflicting state- i know that i am good enough and i think that i am not in the same time.

    • i realized that i don't have to be somewhat different to pursue my goals.  i have all i need right now. i will never feel 100% ready. 

    • i come to the conclusion that feeling embarrassed or ashamed  or being unexperienced is fairly normal in the process of improving your social skills and especially at dating 

    • i wont improve in this area unless i adopt a growth mindset and i accept that it wont  be easy + why wont i be  feeling negative emotions whilst actually growing myself rather than feeling them from a default position of misery?

    • i compared myself with the people on the stage although it makes zero sense since we had different difficulties and goals. moreover,  a few of them where pretty good mainly bc they have been practicing their craft for years.(and so can I)

    • i thought that i will have to drink and smoke at college to fit in and to banish feeling anxiety but i remembered that it`s not worth it long-term and not even short-term!

    • i felt jealous that those people where on the stage, doing a extracurricular activity and smth with their life whereas i spent my leisure time in high school  watching tv series and movies, listening to music,browsing around,daydreaming about that one day when i`ll do smth worthwhile with my time ,rooting at home and generally wasting time on things i cant even remember . i thought that i am not cool enough/i am not the kind of dude who attends extracurricular activities .   

      • for me acting classes seem such a difficult activity since you are bound to look ridiculous playing your character at first as you gain experience.

      • on the other hand , it`s seems somehow interesting and a promising activity to use for my personal growth

      •  therefore, i have decided to take some acting classes during college, as a thorough comfort zone challenge !

 

 

  •  HEY!
  • I was pondering whether I should  live in a college  dorm room or in a rented apartment during freshman year? Which one is better suited for self-actualization? Will it be harder to meditate with all that noise around?
    • What do you think about this?

OTHER stuff:

  • 5th day of NO TV SERIES/MOVIES: I was so so so close to watch a movie but i resisted after i realized that i don't want to disappoint the people that are reading my journal. Ha!

  • i felt down bc i procrastinated which resulted in watching cringy vines for hours on YT but i come back at the end of the day to being productive

  • i got wrapped up in negative thoughts about my future such as: ``i cant do pickup, i cant succeed at my work, i cannot deal with my problems perfectly``. 

  • i finally made that smoothie:(coconut flakes,oatmeal,1 orange, 1 apple and ashwagandha powder). It was delicious.

  • 4150 days left of until i turn 30.

  • 162 days left till college 

  • i have read some RSD field reports. i felt inspired.

  • tomorrow i will go to a mall to study . it`s time to do my homework before the due date. i will try some coffee shops as well .

  • i am spending to much time on this forum. i will let myself to read this forum only twice a day 

  • a couple of insights whilst reading  from Daygame:

    • tom torrero had far more problems to deal  with regarding pickup  than i have : He had depression, severe acne, panic attacks, no friends, thick ugly glasses ,literally zero social skills, overweight and so on. I don't even have a quarter of his difficulties. i don't deserve to complain and bitch about my baby/midget challenges.

    • Being at a college doesn't make you grow. You do by taking action

    •  don’t be needy.

    • -          Cold approach will makes me stronger and effects in all other area in my life in a good way

    • Talking with people is good for your mood. Do it more. Invite people out.

    • I am confident in my abilities to make friends lol. He count even make friends. Stop whining.

    • It`s never to late to improve your skills with girls. Why? Bc 5 yrs from now you'll be older. That`s why.

    •  we are the product's of our own  thoughts .

How many times i checked out this forum? 5 times or more

 

OTHER:

  • 6th day of NO TV SERIES/MOVIES: low urges; I wanted to watch a movie 

  • i felt on top of the world today

  • i finally took action to fix one of my insecurities after delaying DOING IT  for several years
  •  I really like about myself  that i am relatively relaxed around strangers which is a priceless asset for pick-up. Of course, i have my bad days and insecurities of which i remember from time to time  and than  feel like crap and i get irrational thoughts if i do smth new which  is out of my comfort zone. but i can fix them by journaling about what actually made me feel anxious. also mindfulness in those moments is good.
  • i started my homework sooner than ever. 
  • tomorrow=3rd shamanic breathing session.
  • i am spending to much time checking out how many views does this thread has accumulated since the last time i checked. 
  • tomorrow i will go to study at  a coffee shop. i wander if it will be as productive as studying at the mall. i am anxious and worried to meet with some people i no longer speak with . i hate them . although i am reasonably relaxed around strangers i am really don't want to meet those people. what if the staff will kick me out for staying to long?lol nonsense.
    • hmmm now, let`s flip this worrisome thought upside down with logic. 
      • i bet 2 lemons that i won`t meet them
      • +
      •  and if i meet them i will have some negative thoughts and emotions to tackle and untangle.
      • i met with them a few months back, it was not as bad as i imagined that it will be. 
      •  i feel better now. :D
  •  
  •  
  • a couple of insights i had whilst reading  from Daygame:

    • Don't send to many messages, don’t be needy. Neediness drive people away

    • Some girls want casual sex as men do . Sex can just be sex. Not everyone wants a relationship.

    • Library pickup- can you recommend me a book for a friend??

    • Don’t relay on alcohol for your successes. Although getting drunk at going to a club with no game in mind sounds good but  the sex that you might get is most likely bc of luck and will happen just a few times.

    •  Go out at least once/twice a week.

    • ``Worcester clubbing taught me that you can get laid randomly jut by being vaguely sociable and letting nature take its course, but that what you end up with was like fishing in a canal…it could be a salmon or a shopping trolley. Just by being social-leaving your house and speaking  with to women- things would irregularly happen .``

    • Make a point of being sociable. Talk with everyone at college and on at every opportunity you get. Affirmation -Talk with everyone everywhere

    • Again, it's ok to be clueless at the beginning of pickup , keep growing . No shame no growth

    • You`ll struggle but you`ll have your successes

    • Have rational goals, even after 100 girls you'll have nervousness at openings but it gets better with time lo. Experience. Aka it`s normal to be afraid.

    • Open indirectly, attract with GENTLE teasing. 

    • Attract a woman through non-needy behavior and a display of value. build comfort and than seduce through leading and physically escalating. --add to vision board

was i obsessed over the views/popularity of this thread today? moderately obsessed

  OTHER:

  • i forgot to mention that i started a conversation with a random girl. i hesitated at first. i asked her smth about her purse`s decorations. she did not seemed interested to continue the conversation. she minded her business  and i felt frustrated that i had no idea how do go from hi to asking her out. i felt a little of resistance in the beginning.  what if i am putting all these limitation on myself unconsciously? 
  • 7th day of NO TV SERIES/MOVIES:  VERY LOW urges
  • i am too tired for shamanic breathing
  • this thread really helps me grow! yay
  • i had to run some errands in the morning so i did not go to the coffee shop i talked about yesterday, but i went to one in at  the mall i went on Thursday
    • i was a little anxious to check it out so i studied for two straight hours on a spot i previously used in that mall. TWO HOURS! at home i would have got bored after 20m and went to the kitchen to eat or browsed the web/forum mindlessly. 
    • i felt a few negative emotions all regarding my frustration of not practicing pickup after i saw some girls.
    • yesterday i bet 2 lemons that i wont meet with those people. well... i saw on of them but he did nor recognize me so it was ok. i felt hate and anger at first but i was mindful of my emotions and i got back to study and i even forgot about them. latterly i barely cared about them. 
    • than i eat some vegan soup and salad! delicious!
    • than i went to that coffee shop (which was on the same floor). i was very anxious at first thinking that those people will think `` he isn't the kind of person who studies in a coffee shop``. no one gave a fuck.
    • i ordered a cup of  green tea
    • all in all , this  coffee-shop was AMAZING and I HAD AN AMAZING DAY OVERALL
    • oh yea and no one asked me to leave or to but smth although i stayed for a few hours.
    • the music was really good (EDM)
    • i did my homework on the porch till it stared raining  i hold the door for a waitress bc i wanted to go inside anyways and she had her hands full of dirty cups. i remembered what i have read yesterday about not being obsessed and needy. so i didn't glazed at her afterworlds like a 47yr old homeless rapist hoping that she likes me now or whatever. i felt so good about myself that i let it go and that she wont remember me as some creepy dude. 
    • the tea had too much caffeine because i felt a little  nausea. (coffee disturbs my ability to focus properly and produces high abdominal discomfort--so i don't drink it)
    • during the last hour there or so i felt amazing! extremely happy that i finally found a way to be productive and that i did not wait till college to study outdoors.  also that i broke through that idea that i am not that kind of dude who studies outdoors. furthermore, i did what tom torrero (day game) did!! i positioned myself as the dudes who studies at coffeehouses regularly.
    • Fart-wise:  i positioned myself quite in  the middle of the room whilst all the other people there(10) were staying in corners. therefore i  could fart silently without being caught.
    • i wanted to stay there more to study but i was tired and my attention span started to go south.
    • when i finally left i  thought that some of the staff is giving me the eye. probably it was all in my mind 
    • i made small talk with some people on the way to my home(very low anxiety, but i had a few doubts)
  •  
  • how much anxiety/resistance i felt to write about these topics? 3.6/5
  • have i worried what people will think after reading this post?  yes, 4.1/5

200 views !!(in 6 days!!!!)

Am i happier now than i was when i had almost 10(views)? nope

  • i am not feeling better because of the views but AS a RESULT of the effort i put into this work
  • i still struggle. it`s hard to abstain from tv series and unhealthy eating and to push my comfort zone.
  • i didn't believe that i will have so many views in such a short time.
  • but the views don't make my journey EASIER in any way 
  • 12 or 10.000 views? Who cares? this path wont get effortless and painless! 
  • i wasted the last 6 days checking the popularity of this thread only for the sake of it -i didn't actually contemplated this obsession!
    • wow! maybe that`s why people are obsessed with the number of  likes at their pics on Facebook and instagram.! 
    • there is a false sense of achievement!  but no real gain in the REAL WORLD!
  • hmmm does this applies to other people too? probably leo`s fame doesn't make his self actualization easier and so on
  • the more you know...
  • will i feel different at 500views?? nope. 

 

  • i hope that this post shuttered your expectations(if you had just started YOUR online journal)

  OTHER:

  • 8th day of NO TV SERIES/MOVIES:  no urges ( maybe the first day with no urges at all)
  • i resisted to write here, today
  • 3rd session of shamanic breathing
    • i was the must peculiar session ever.
    • 30m + 10m mindfulness observation afterwords
    • i meditated prior to doing it 
    • i resisted at first
    • i struggled to keep my breath at a frequent peace (and it was better than one week ago)
    • it was difficult , i wanted to quit but i forced myself to continue 
    • tingling sensation  in hands
    • light headed 
    • i got am massive boner =))))))))) in the mid-session but i felt no urges to masturbate
    • i felt nothing special.
    •    i listened to this
    • i was listening at max volume because my neighbors were very loud and therefore i had an extra strain on my practice.
    • i felt calm at the end of the session 
    •  
    • than  i started the afterwards 10m observation
    • my mind is still
    • i listened to this mix.  
    • as i am listening to these beautiful sounds i start feeling pure happiness.
    • my money mind starts remembering the problems i had lately
    • i remember and think about pickup ( some worries)
    • than right than i feel how tension from my upper chest and throat is released.  in the meantime i feel/visualize deep under me a deeper DARK layer of negative emotions. i wanted to push myself to release more of this dark deep layer of emotions . i felt overwhelmed by them so i stopped trying 
    • i stopped being annoyed by the noise coming from above .
    • i felt even better . 
    • i felt on top of the world
    • i smiled.
    • i felt that i everything will be fine
    • than i the noise started annoying me again
    • the alarm rang. 10m had passed
    •  
    • i felt amazing!! so happy . so alive. i wanted to do it again but i just could bare by neighbor`s noise.
    • i ran some errands 
    • i felt an unstoppable rush of relentless energy . that`s a quick note i took on the spot ``Hm now i feel very very energized. I want to talk. I am pushy. I want to talk. I wamt to do smrh``.
    • i prepared to go to the coffee shop to study 
    • on my way to the destination i started to be mindful by this beautiful day,shadows, the sunlight, the trees etcx.
    • in the same time,as i get closer to my destination i get  more and more indescribable DEEP negative emotions .  i mean that i could not label these emotions they  weren't  easily recognizable like fear or anxiety. it was like deep in myself. all i felt was this pressure on my soul . this  affected my studies 
    • meanwhile meanwhile. as i saw girls i felt no strong neg emotions(needy,aroused,excited,frustrated) but again, as i got closer to my destination i started feeling more and more frustrated,annoyed and jealous and so on bc i wasn't picking them up
    • i felt them in the same place where i released those tensions(throat,neck). plus in the back of my head.  maybe that black layer of deep emotions was partially released
    • i recognized that this might be a good things since this powerful emotions will fade and i will have grown a lot
  • i studied at the same coffee shop 
    • so,  struggled to do my homework 
    • as the hours kept passing these deep emotions kept loosing the hold on me.
    • by the time i was close to my home i still felt traces of these deep negative emotions. 
    • now i feel normal.
    • hmmm
    • .
    • .
    • .
    • .
    • other stuff/ in the mean time 
    • yesterday seems a week ago
    • the barista  i helped yesterday  was there.  i had the impression that she`s checking me out but i couldn't tell 
    • also i was friendly and made some small talk with one of the withers . i felt good going friendly. and smiley. (which is weird since i felt those deep negative emotions in the same time)
    • i forgot how to utter ``green tea`` like by brain shut down for a seconds.  everything was ok he wasn't rude or anything.
    • latterly i made some jokes with the barista i talked yesterday. again i couldn't tell whether she thinks that i am creepy/likes me/recognized me from yesterday or is just friendly.
    • i felt a rush of uncertainty/frustration bc  i couldn't read her behavior. (again the deep neg feelings are still there)
    •  this rush fainted quickly. i am very proud bc of it. 2 yrs ago i would have gone bonkers bc of these doubts. maybe meditation perks?
    • i kept studying.
    • i got tired and kinda bored ,i forced myself a lil bit to finish my homework at the subject in question and i left not saying her goodbye to not be seen as needy or to feel like shit tomorrow when ill go again.

  OTHER:

  • 9th day of NO TV SERIES/MOVIES:  no urges
  • i was so damn hungry in the morning although i eat two-going three full bowls of soup 
  • i am starting to love spending time  outside,walking to the coffee house ,admiring the nature and the upcoming vibe ?
  • life is getting better and better
  • i feel good about myself
  • i feel excited by my potential and all the things i will realize in the upcoming future
  • i had a difficult time studying but i managed to  do a quarter at least. + i read from day game(tom torrero) at there  near some business people WHOM WERE talking so slow and SO LOW that i couldn't stop but wonder whether they are self-conscious,overly polite or just  WTF?
  • i made small talk with a new barista and regular costumer.  i felt really good afterwards albeit i hesitated at first
  •  i feel that everything is possible and that i can achieve all of my goals.
  • i think that my mind makes me feel such negative emotions regarding not starting pick up exactly to push me to do it!
  • OOoh  and i saw a relatively popular youtubeer  you tuber (in my country) at the subway station. i saw one of his clips a couple of months ago when i was in full ego backlash and i felt like shit browsing mindlessly on youtube.  
    • i was stunned to see that his posture it`s even more hunched than my 70-yr old grandma
    • he was reading a book(fiction obviously) and he was 1000% focused on reading it. whilst i was looking around doing nothing so i got my book from my backpack and i started reading. so mind your own business and don't waste time.
    • and his walking style was pretty peculiar too!!!  i thought that popular person have a really cool way of walking or smth. 
    • also, i was amazed to see that all the people around were not even looking at him. they were treating him like any other joe. i thought that all girls will just turn their heads and stare at her like people look at the moon.
    • also also, his presence made me aware of some of my insecurities .i contemplated this>>> i convinced myself to start working towards fixing and understanding them rather than ignoring them or distracting myself from feeling bad.
  • and speaking of feeling bad i remembered an insight i had whilst watching tv series and movies till 6 in the morning:   . it`s actually pretty obvious.(lol the solutions for our problems are right in front of us sometimes)
  • ok, i am out of here before i am actually  tempted to roam mindlessly through this forum.

    • fried Asparagus&Broccoli 
    • asparagus is now, my favorite vegetable ! 
  •  
  • this was the good part, other less pleasant things happened today as well
  • my mother bought  food from some kind of fast-food . the cashier overpriced her order  and kept laying to her that the price is so high because she bought a lot of portions. latterly she calculated the price by herself and realized that the cashier actually lied to her. this made me feel resentful and upset.
  • latterly i bought meat from a butchery and when i arrived home my father told me that the cashier added some un-eatable  pieces of  meat . i had no idea. she really seemed honest.  she did this just to make me to pay more 
    • why do people do this kind of sneaky schemes? she wont get rich by fooling people for a few cents.?
    •  
  • i tried to talk with a girl too!
    • i went to the  supermarket to do the groceries . i arrived at the toiletries district and i was looking for a toothbrush for my father and some toothpaste .  her job was to help people at this part of the district. i wanted to start a conversation with her but i had no idea how it had to be done so i was there hesitating.
    • i gave up and i started looking for those products . i grabbed 4 tubes of toothpaste .she than approached me saying that if i buy them i will receive some magnetic photo-frames to put on the fridge. i was yea.... sure.
    •   she was visibly bored by her job.  i wanted to ask her about her major,college,age etc. but i had no structure so i didn't even tried. than i thought that maybe i can start a conversation by asking her what kind of toothbrush is the best=))))))) lol. she actually starting presenting THOSE DAMN TOOTHBRUSHES IN DEPTH . i thought she was kidding. nope she was really really serious. 
    • i said thank you and left.  also i was ashamed to be teased by my family if they so me talking with her. i know that it`s nonsense. =)))))))
    • .
    • second attempt- i bought some dried plums. this girl was tired af by her work. i asked her where do i find the tea district. lol. that was funny. obviously i knew where it is bc i go there shopping for years.  i thought that i  destroyed my change. so i  thanked her and left
  • .
  • when i arrived home i did not want to throw the magnetic frames i received bc i thought that my parents will make fun of me for talking with a girl or smth. like they knew .lol .
  • i decided to have some fun at least so i took several miniature pictures representing baby Jesus and his mother that my parents had from Jerusalem and i put them on that frame. at least i had some good laughs.  these cards look  like the Yu-Gi-Oh  decks . 
  • lol i feel better  now. 
  • Yu-Gi-Jesus!

i pushed my comfort ZONE aaaaaaaaaa looooot 

  • i have started reading a pickup book( which i planned initially for mid-summer)
  • i discovered a new method of learning for hours on end(studying at coffeehouses)
  •  
  • i accepted the mastery process regarding learning  English(and that speaking broken English isn't smth to be ashamed of because this  means that you are on the right way of improving your English skills)
  •  
  • from now on i will review my growth/progress by the end of each month . i will use a different color for each one
  • i relapsed(i masturbated a few times after over a year of nofab -but it`s fine bc i committed again to no fap+probably bc of this relapse i started reading daygame)
