Start lifting. Even calisthenics or light cardio will do. A day without gains is a day making you weaker and more feeble down the line. It's a true race against time to peak before you reach the prime of your life in your 30's. Don't waste a day! This is my advice
(And mostly, it's just about eating excessive calories and protein to grow larger. The lifts themselves are one of the smaller parts)

I've done it. You recover modestly faster. It has applications for body injury and possibly brain injury. People who do serious peptides laugh at capsulefags such as myself because the bioavailability is terrible, but most people also don't want to inject either.

I personally wouldn't want to run 20 miles.
I much prefer scooter/kickbike. It's fun that way.
That said, I am used to cycling everywhere long distance, so I am still adapting to using kickbike long distance. Since it uses different muscle groups I am slowly increasing the distance each week in addition to my daily rides to and from work which are 4 miles total. Some of which I do as 2 mile "sprints".

Got one of those bowflex quick adjust dumbbells because it was on DEEP discount of 60% off and a massage gun that was 75% off.
The only bad thing is it was just one dumbbell, so now I have to hunt around for the walmart brand to make a even pair at similar price, since I ain't paying full retail for another bowflex one, even if the build quality is decent.
Still, I can make one dumbbell work for quality upper body workouts. It's the lower body where I need more weight and even distribution of a proper pair. But I got my old fashion dumbbells for those, or my kettlebell.

I know this sounds like cheating, but I recently got gastric bypass surgery and so far I've already dropped about 53lbs. Went from 430 when I started to 377 just a week or so ago. Feels amazing not feeling like total and utter shit.

I guess my main point in telling this story is that you should get mental support to go along with physical support. That way your physical and mental health can reinforce your positive changes even when you face life challenges.
Regardless I wish you luck with it and hope you don't face too bad of complications.

>>319032Oh I am curious about the subject but that won't stop me from procrastinating cause I'm averse to studying (among othe things). I do want to build an habit tho.
No.319035
>>319034Are you really? If you were curious, reading and thinking about the subject (studying) wouldn't cause so much discomfort that you would rather avoid it despite the negative consequences. You don't procrastinate jerking off or posting on imageboards because you're genuinely interested in seeing some broad's fat tits and anonymous comments. You don't need to force yourself to look at that shit for hours every day, you just remember they exist and think to yourself, huh wonders what's happening. Are you able to cultivate that with whatever you are studying? Probably not. Would you be reading and thinking about the subject if it wasn't just an obstacle on the way to a degree, job, positive regard from other people…? Probably not.
If you want a "habit" to stick, your mind will have to discover something worthwhile in the subject. You could force yourself to "study" every day for six months and it would be useless if you just don't care about it, the very next day you would move on and forget it all.

>>319028I went from 10 year NEET back to studying and I've been barely scraping by. I don't use AI to write my papers but it works well for gathering information. I also like using flashcards for memorization. Only thing that works for focusing for me is to try to do my work as early in the day as I can and to cut off everything but my work. The only way I could get myself to do some of my miserable assignments is to sit my chair with my eyes closed for an hour straight until I finally got the motivation to do it.
>>319032This advice sounds good but hasn't worked for me. Even if I'm interested in the subject I'm learning about, I'm only interested in learning the parts of it I like, and the assignments you get in classes often suck even if you like the subject matter.

No.319042
>>319040>You just described two habits. Pornography use and imageboard browsing are habits we have developed over time.Right, you developed the "habit" because you kept doing it, and you kept doing it because……? My point is that there needs to be a reward, "something worthwhile" in the activity as a prerequisite, otherwise no "habit" can be formed. If an asexual man looks at porn every day, he won't develop a habit because it's inherently un-pleasurable to him. You won't develop a habit of studying, unless you can get a reward through the activity i.e. genuine curiosity that gets satisfied by reading and thinking about the subject. Perhaps it's possible to cultivate such a thing and I think that's a more well-defined problem than "I'm avoiding doing the work for some reason, how do I continue bashing my head against the obstacle until it gives in?"
>I find this a dangerous logic cause being adverse to change/challenges are you going to gaslight yourself that you don't really want to to anything other than laying down and rot?I mean, that's one option. Maybe not studying the subject you don't care about is the most rational option. Best case scenario, you somehow force yourself to memorize a bunch of facts to pass a test, and you're then stuck in a unsatisfying career path where you have to trick yourself using 20 different strategies in order to sit down to do the work. Someone that is genuinely curious will always outperform you because all his energy is directed towards the actual goal, rather than 99% of it being wasted in internal conflict that makes you want to procrastinate.

>>319149Dabbled in dowsing myself.
It's more of training your senses and subconscious to basically use whole brain processing to give binary analysis.
Takes a ton of practice to become consistent and reliable.
Can't see how no fap could possibly help, but dowsing is pretty personal so if it works for then it works for you.
My advice is that the more knowledge and experience you have with the thing/answer you are trying to find and the area you are searching the better and more consistent your results.
Also dowsing the ocean is very difficult even when using map dowsing. Don't know exactly why but I have a few guesses. Most related to the tons of salt water creating interference and lack of intimate knowledge of the floor of the ocean.
Both might be overcome with enough time at sea.
