How do I increase Mental Strength and Discipilne?

[sweggeh]

Im tired of my life. I have realised a lot of my problems come from a lack of discipline, dedication and mental strength. How do I gain ultimate discipline and control over my mind and body, like Bruce Lee or Gandhi?

[Batz]

Chop it off.

[sweggeh]

Bang some trannies

How bout you suck my dick instead bitch.

[knickballer]

Get out of your comfort zone. If you're living with your parents for example move away where you're on your own and have to "survive"

I don't have the time to chatr rihgt now but I suggest reading on some mindful books.

I would think that Bruce Lee and Gandhi did something every day to increase that.

So put aside the video games/chat rooms/TV/phone for a defined time every day and figure out what you want to focus on.

Horrible advices in here. These f*ckers don't know what they are talking about.

Real talk.

Study philosophy. It talks about substance. Religion refers to it as God. Science calls it the ether. All energy and strength comes from this. The only way to tap into it is through imagination; all the greatest ideas of mankind came from this energy field. Imagination dictates movement: a weak imagination will create a weak mindset and lack of strength. Do not use will power on the body; the body cannot move unless the mind allows it to. Strength is in the mind. To control the mind you have to control your thoughts and focus on what you want (visualization). This will manifest the energies you need to create the reality you want, plus when you tap into this field of creativity, new ideas will come your way to help you get what you want. Visualization is not enough though. This is where the book The Secret failed. You have to understand the substance and have complete faith it will work for you. To understand and believe something, you will have to gain the knowledge first, so knowledge is the stepping stone.

Read Wallace Wattles. Understand what the substance is. Believe in it. Only then will you be able achieve what you want to achieve.

IMO, it's mostly genetic. You are who you are.

[Orlando Magic]

1) Stop *********ing.

2) Start praying/meditating.


Simple? Yes.
Easy? No.

Crock of sh*t. This is why I hate the modern day scientific mindset. It makes a person so weak and stupid.

Look for things that bother you in your life then eliminate it one by one. It's really as simple as that.

Also, don't waste your life away researching and saying you're going to do something tomorrow. The time is now. Go TOWARDS what you're afraid of.

A little Bruce Lee for ya to think less, and feel more in life.

Working out. Once I graduate, I do plan to possibly pick up boxing and the eventual goal is to live in a posh apartment in Harlem/East New York (it is not as dangerous as people think it is, srs).

[Draz]

Take some weight training. Excessive working out will help.

Lee be speaking Zen the belief of living in the moment.

Also just because something is simple doesn't make it an easy task to accomplish. Even mundane unimportant things in our societys behaviors have become addictions.

Clarity can only be understood by those who are clean.

Whats your thoughts on addiction?

[ZeN]

Whats your thoughts on addiction?
That it's prevalent, misunderstood, under considered and is a vicious cycle that leads it's user into mental atrophy, which can only be deterred by a candid pursuit of self-actualization..external forces can only help once the individual crosses the line of acceptance.

Although I agree with self-actualization being able to eliminate it, in the mean time I really think people need to understand that addiction is just a word. And that word has negative connotations in it, so it puts people into that much MORE of a box to be labelled as an addict. I don't know addiction is a tricky subject, but i think what's available is doing more hard them good. Its pushing people away from self actualization and a world where people need crutches to function. We've created a billion dollar pharmaceutical industry, so that dictates a lot now moving forward in regards to control..

Have you had experience with severe or some type of addiction?

2. Alcohol and cigarettes. Both messed with my head emotionally for various reasons. I'm sober over a year now. 22 days smoke free. It gets you in that state of mind of, ok now what else can i do to improve my life? No crutches and that's whats increased my confidence. I think everyone should want to personally develop on a daily basis in a very natural way. That's how you reach self actualization and your Zen place. You can't get there on prozac. That's medically induced. I don't get the fuss about weed ( i don't smoke anymore), when doctors prescribe anti depressants to people on a daily basis that turns them into zombies.

Well giving up an addiction isn't self actualization itself and also isn't Zen.

Also I wouldn't know about your situation but many other people are dealing with heightened negative circumstances that prevents making changes, be an easy task. Those negative circumstances being continual fuel that propels the addiction or harmful behavior forward.

No, what I mean is with me for example, quitting alcohol meant that i would have to change my lifestyle. I was unhappy when I was drinking. The type of places i was going, and the people i was surrounding myself with. Now, i'm doing different things and meeting different people. My days feel more enriched. I feel fulfilled at the end of the day. I feel i'm on the path towards self-actualization. My career goals for starters have completely changed. Self-actualization is a life journey. I just feel I've corrected my path.

I hear you on the last part. It's why I recommend meditation/yoga to everyone to center oneself daily, and to chip away at those things to begin fulfilling their needs, but even then it's not easy.

depends on who i'm drinking with. I drink with some people I grew up that I'm not particularly fond of and tend to drink a little more so I will be able to stand them more (lol). When it's friends in college, it's just enough to get a buzz.

I only stick with beer now too. I usually take down 6 beers, feel a slight buzz and I'm good with that.

I agree those are definitely good methods to build a good foundation. For those who can maintain it, it definitely works.

That's good man. Always know your limits and to do things in moderation. Discipline is cooler/sexier then being sloppy, and women notice. :cheers:

[Swaggin916]

Do stuff you want/need to do regardless of how terrible it feels/seems and just take it in for a while. You'll see that you will survive and that will give you confidence.

[nathanjizzle]

find real value that will equate to real confidence. youre still young you wont find it until your in your mid 20s.

[TonyMontana]

1. Stop watching porn/jacking off to other men ****ing a women.

2. Either quit(probably better) or severely limit time spent on internet forums, social media, and if you play video games them as well.
