How to kick your ass into gear (or how to start and maintain a disciplined self-development lifestyle)

Greetings, fellow pwners of life! My main man Dean asked me to make a thread on starting a disciplined lifestyle since a lot of you guys are interested in that and because we have always been kinda the discipline-nazis of the team. And you know, when my main man Dean asks for backup, I go through fire for that mo’focka. That’s how we do.

In my experience, the best way to slap yourself out of the drudgery of everyday procrastination is with the earth-shattering impact of a sledgehammer. You have to be your own personal hard ass drill sergeant so to speak and kick start your new lifestyle with a BANG! None of this easing it in approach or pussyfooting around what it comes down to. How do you go into the ocean? You don’t tippy-toe that shit, you just JUMP IN!

Ok let’s get to it! First thing you do is you schedule a whole day that you’re going to dedicate to kickstarting your transformation into awesomeness! You meticulously plan it hour by hour beforehand and you COMMIT TO IT! You will go through this day step by step LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! For those of you who aren’t used to doing stuff like this, this will be some real hardcore shii, SO BRACE YOURSELF AND JUMP IN!


• The Get-out-of-bed PowerJump!
The moment you gain enough consciousness to realize that you should get up, JUMP OUT OF BED LIKE A MANIAC AND RELEASE YOU INNER ENERGY LIKE A HURRICANE! Jump around, improvise over-the-top karate moves, stand bare-chested in front of the mirror and yell FREEDOM!! Like Braveheart… Whatever it takes to kick your mind into overdrive! Whatever does it for you guys! This is very similar to my homie SubTea’s awesome Power Move (ask him), or my main man Dean’s Kamehameha (don’t ask). If you do this correctly it’ll wake you the fuck up like a bucket of freezing water straight in the face. From this moment on, IT’S ON BITCHEZ! This day will be GLORIOUS! IT IS WRITTEN IN STONE! You will not waste a second of this day! It is going to be one crazy continuous ride of mind-blowing pwnage! What are you standing there for?! That’s a wasted second! GO! GO! GO!

• Hydrate!
You storm into the kitchen like a whirlwind to gulp down two big glasses of water! It’s ok if your mom looks at you like you’re a lunatic. You’re going to do some serious sweating so DRINK UP YA’LL! FASTER! TIME IS TICKING GO! GO! GO!

• The Jog of Exhilaration!
You rush out the door and start running like it’s the most mindblowing thing you’re ever done! If you have an mp3-player, play the most uplifting positive happy music you own. Sing along with it if you like! Who give a shit what people think! (Contact me or Dean for more info on healthy training schedule.)

• Hydrate!
Storm back into the kitchen to compensate your loss of water with another two glasses of water! Your mom should be used to it by now!

• The Contrast Shower of Glory!
You charge into the bathroom for some epic hydrotherapy! You wash with warm water, then BOOM you switch to 100% COLD! KEEP STANDING THERE! BEAR IT! JUST A FEW SECONDS LONGER! Ok back to warm. Increase the temperature. Get fully warmed-up again. Then again BOOM you go to 100% COLD! STAY WITH IT! KEEP WITHSTANDING IT! OK DONE! You have now ascended to the level of UBERPWNER! (Warning: Don’t aim cold water directly on your head or take cold showers when you’re ill or have your period. Contact me or Dean for more details.)

• The Breakfast of Champions!
No not Frosties! Champions don’t eat unhealthy crap! They eat THE FOOD OF THE GODS! Natural yogurt, fresh fruit, fresh raw nuts and seeds, raw veggies, whole grain bread! THIS IS WHAT PWNERS EAT! (Contact me or Dean for more info on an optimally healthy diet.)

• Affirmations of Awesomeness!
Pwn your way back to your room where you open your affirmations document and hammer in those personal statements of empowerment! What? You don’t have affirmations yet!? GET YOUR ASS TO DEAN’S EXCELLENT AFFIRMATIONS THREAD PRONTO!

• Meditation of Greatness!
Sit down, close your eyes, let go of your mind and be in the moment! Forget the concepts of past and future, distance yourself from memories and future projections, and your mind will become quiet and sharp as a razor! Bruce lee ain’t got shit on you mo’focka! (Contact me or Reese for more info on effective meditation.)

• Social Barrier Breaking of Hardcoreness!
This is where it gets REALLY INTENSE people!! Today you are going to attain SOCIAL FREEDOM! TODAY YOU ARE GOING TO FACE YOUR WORST FEARS! You push yourself out the door and get your ass to the most populated spot in the neighborhood. There you will approach RANDOM PEOPLE and start conversations with them out of the blue! Adjust this one to your own level of self-confidence. Many of you will feel anxious simply saying ‘hi’ to someone, while a few experienced among you will have to do things like interrupting a seated group engaged in conversation and joining their table in order to break your barriers. Whatever level you’re at, PUSH FORWARD AND GET YOURSELF TO TRY THINGS THAT SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! For most guys this will involve talking to intimidatingly attractive women.
SOCIAL BARRIER BREAKING IS THE ULTIMATE TOOL TO EXPAND YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND BOOST UP YOUR WILLPOWER, SELF-CONFIDENCE, EMOTIONAL STRENGTH AND SOCIAL SKILLS TO UNSEEN HEIGHTS! (Contact me, Dean or Reese for more info on achieving social freedom.)

Woah! That was intense! You still standing? If you’ve made it this far, hats off to you guys! This day probably had more WIN in it than most other days of your life. You can legitimately feel like the coolest mofo on the planet right now! Wouldn’t it be great if every day of your life was this meaningful and fulfilling?

You have just tasted a teaspoon of awesomeness! But how do you make a consistent lifestyle out of this stuff and keep building up your health, skills, willpower and character over a long period of time? That’s going to require some serious commitment and dedication, but it can be done! What you’re going to need is a solid gameplan that involves consistently planning your weeks in advance, setting clear goals, tracking your progress and gradually raising the bar. It will be hard work but the rewards will be more than worth it. TO GET TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN YOU’VE GOT TO CLIMB DIRT! SO GO AHEAD AND CLIMB THROUGH! CONCEIVE, BELIEVE AND ACHIEVE MO’FOCKA’S!!

The Organizer that I made has helped me tremendously in building the lifestyle I want. To anyone taking this stuff seriously I recommend using it consistently. Click on the attachment below and go to The Organizer self-development tool thread to learn how to use it.

Sry for the off, but I laughed so hard on this pic.
i will be doing this this saturday, with a few alterations such as bathroom breaks, though i swear! i will be pissing as fast and furiously as i can!
I fucking love this shit.


FREEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this! I know if I downed two glasses of water then went out for a jog...I'd definitely be running towards the washroom when I got back :P. Also going out for a morning run, will kind of be like a contrast jog up here. Waking up from my nice, warm and snuggly bed, and jumping out into the cold. I think out of all these tasks that takes the most motivation, and will definitely give ease to the rest of the day if I can accomplish that one task. I'm making this a goal for this weekend!

As far as talking to strangers...I love talking to strangers. In elevators, on the street or train...although if I were to take it to a higher level, I think I would scare people or I might meet a few that might scare me haha. I tend to befriend people that others would normally avoid...like for example, one man got on the bus and started getting into an argument with another passenger that got heated but then they laid it to rest. I was playing my DS and he started talking to me and I ended up talking to him for the rest of the trip while everyone just stared at us lol.
IT"S IAN BITCHES
Shaking your body like a lunatic or jogging on the spot while spraying cold water on your body actually helps you to withstand the cold better ;)
