A vote was held in the congress that passed through a majority to create a new board for /777/. This board will be focused around positive self development of individuals and fellow anons/leftists. Topics such as working out, sobriety, healthy eating, etc etc etc. Enjoy!

I've noticed people on the website tend to get super heated. I think we need to learn to better communicate and stop jumping on the defensive so quickly.
This thread will be dedicated to saying upligting things to your fellow leftychaders and anons and just general positivity.

I'm gonna side with the mods.

I'm undoubtedly the biggest troll here - with the caveat that I've actually read a ton of ICM lit and am not simply some mouthbreathing WN or lolbertarian.

They are extremely chill as far as leftoids go.

.org mods are demented genderfags with unbalanced hormones who sit at their computers all day, deleting posts and screaming about touching grass.

Pick a genre you enjoy reading or at least feel like you're getting something out of.

Don't try to force yourself to read something because you 'should.'

Personally, I read a ton, but I have somewhat narrow tastes. This just kinda came up in my life because my gf mentioned she was thinking about getting me a book for Xmas but said she wasn't sure if I would like the book she got or not. This was good intuition on her part, since I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed just any book.
If you're not sure what genre you even like, I'd recommend checking out historical fiction since it combines many different elements and interests.

Secondly, set a very low bar for success. Instead of telling yourself you're going to read 20 pages a day, tell yourself you're going to read 1. Then, if you want, stop after you finish that one page. That way, you're more likely to start since reading 1 page is a much smaller time/effort commitment.

Likewise, pick a time and place ahead of time. 'Im going to read 1 page in the afternoon while drinking coffee at the cafe by my house' is much more clear plan/goal than 'im going to read 1 page.'
That way, you have less to decide when the time comes to put your plan into action, and won't be as affected by descision fatigue or choice paralysis.

This year I've been depressed as fuck all the time. What's causing it and what do I do to solve it?
>>

 No.1333

-Tracked basic habits like morning exercise, gym, and content creation daily 6/7days
-Bought a couple pair of shoes that were cheap but look ok. The main pair of dark shoes I had been wearing were 2nd hand shoes that were looking pretty worn out and overly casual.
-Kinda a busy week with random social lunches, so my gym routine was disrupted. Have also been lazy about cardio (just 2 bike rides) and acting like a pussy about mildly cold weather. Also, I quit nicotine last week, which has fucked up my dopamine levels. So I've been sleeping in a lot and feeling unmotivated. I need to quit being a bitch asap.

The first thing to check is the basics.
If you are eating shit food and are poorly nourished, barely spend time outdoors, have a literally toxic environment from industrial, are surrounded by draining and miserable people, then it will be impossible to feel good.
It's not going to hurt you to take a multivitamin and occasionally go on megadose regimes of vitamin c, b vitamins, or d. The FDA recommendations should be regarded as bare minimums - in some cases you want to be aiming daily for 2 or 3x times the given amount. Routine physical activity, fresh air, sunshine, and nature help a lot and should all be nonnegotiable features of your life. Depressed landscapers are exceptionaly rare. Plants have been shown to improve moods of people, so having them around in your space doesn't hurt either.

Within the biochemical frame, also look at the most basic thing. a lot of mood disorders like depression come down to dopamine and serotonin. Engaging in diet and activities which mind this, especially over the long run, can be a key to success and basic levels of happiness. Again diet and supplements, exercise, and sleep, all come into play here.

A cognitive lens would suggest looking into the way you look at things.
There is more and less useful/advantageous ways of frame things. Be mindful of that. Likewise, a lot of anxiety stems from 'should': expectations which might not align with probable reality as it exists. Dealing with past trauma would also be a feature, if there is a specific issue. I'd avoid 'therapy' in which you endlessly examine the bad. Rather, it's important to develop specific cognitive frames which are both useful long term and serve as a sort of emotional regulator to life's inevitable issues and features. A basic cognitive framing question would be, 'do you see life as a series of things that happen to you or for you,' for example.

A certain existential school might say you need to create and surpass reasonable challenges to transform yourself into something anew, as well. Learn something new, face a big, somewhat absurd but doable long term physical challenge. Again, you're probably not going to regret learning a language, doing a marathon, joining a boxing gym, or trekking somewhere. More likely, there's something uniquely personal that you've wanted to do for a while but have held off on, and in pursuing Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'll try to give mainly practical advice based on my experience and understanding as someone who started out as fairly shit with women and now does alright. Obnoxious blackpillers will be left on read.

Get a prostitute for your birthday
>>

>>1314
Don't get a prostitute. Probably the worst thing you could do, unless you want to be a trick.

Every little action is a vote for the sort of person you want to become. By getting a prostitute, you're telling your inner self, 'Im the type of guy who can only get laid if I pay for it.' Absolutely disasterous for your self image.

For your birthday, grab a (preferably non alcoholic) drink with a friend or acquaintance, if you have nothing else planned. As for getting laid easily, shooting for less than hot girls makes it easier. So does booze. But you want to use both as a stepping stone to better things without getting stuck using either as a long term crutch.

Why aren't you fit, anon?
>Literally takes 10-15 minutes per day to add muscles with basic bodyweight exercises. To lose fat, do fast cardio (think 15 second sprints and 2 minutes walking). Cut out unnecessary calories like sugar and milk in coffee. Never eat until you are completely full. It generally takes 15 minutes or so for your brain to catch up with your stomach. Stop eating when you're 70% full. Be careful with alcohol and drugs that wreck inhibitions, since they'll cause you to make poorer food choices.

>Ended a relationship of nearly 3 years. Kinda goaded her into having a convo where I knew she would break up with me over an unresolved issue. For the best.

>Prayed at a church once or twice.


>Did suggest meeting up with the 18 year old from last weekend. But she's out of town this weekend. Still not sweating it. Girls are a low low priority.


>Went out with a woman who I used to work for. She's been trying to date me forever. But I can tell she has a somewhat anxious attachment style. That clashes with my own avoidant attachment style. If I was starving to get laid, it would be ridiculously easy, but then she would be bothering me constantly and I'd have to brush her off/ghost her. Not really something I want to do. Also approached exactly 1 girl and was able to social media close. She's kinda soft 6 in my book (devil is also in the details), but she could also be a potential lay with less drama in the future if I'm horny or want the ego boost.
