You're welcome.
Huh, that's interesting.
When you said "you doing god's work" it didn't affect e nearly as much as I thought it would (external validation).
I guess all of the self-actualization I've been doing for the last couple of months is making me more internally validated.
Who would've thought doing what you've always wanted to do would make you happy, feel proud of yourself, feel accomplished etc lol.
GG.
always good to see another man knowing da way
I've actually occasionally felt happy (compared to my previous state of never feeling happy) since I started self-actualizing.
It's nice.
I know we all jokingly say we hate life or that life's really depressing but I genuinely feel more at peace and content than I can ever remember being.
damn man, it's seems you made it
how old are you?
17.
fuck
already self-actuallized at 17
respect
I'd say I'm self-actualizing more than self-actualized.
I define self-actualization (for me at least) as doing all of the things I've both always wanted to do and been wanting to do for a few years or more.
I have a list of goals that I've been working through.
And as far as I'm concerned that's my way of self-actualizing, just working through each of the tasks on that list.
I've definitely grown and changed since I started self-actualizing.
I'm guessing that over time (every few months) I'll add another goal to the list and that'll keep me occupied.
So it'll be more like I become more and more self-actualized over time than ever becoming fully self-actualized.
Still, the growth that continuous self-actualization provides is a great benefit.
maybe you're not self-actualized yet but atleast you ain't spinning your wheels in the other stages
yeah, I think that pretty much sums what self-actualization feels like, just don't forget not to go full "work, work, work" and relax from time to time. If you can just sit still and feel that life's amazing, that in itself should make you feel like you're doing stuff right~
here is a tip tho: once a guy told me that "gaining muscle is not the hard part, keeping it is". Even tho you might not agreed with this, you have to recogize that the same applies to the state of self-actualization
Yeah, the way I approach my journey of self-actualization is that I set a few goals for the day (perform my exercise routine, watching a Messenger Rising video or two), and try to push myself slightly during my exercises (one more rep than yesterday) and absorb as much from the Messenegr Rising video as possible.
It takes up less than an hour a day.
And for the rest of that time I'm either playing video games, doing other shit or just egenerally relaxing.
I hadn't thought about that (same statement applying to self-actualization).
My responses are: Huh and interesting.
I had two responses that I wanted to express, so I expressed both.
Also, an example of adding stuff to the list of tasks (I call it my goals list) is that yesterday I made the decision to watch all of the videos on a channel called PictureFit (fitness channel that educates its viewers by doing those drawings you see in videos like AsapScience or "My Life In A Drawing").
and on a final note, always have keep an anatainable goal in the back of your mind, so you never stop persuing something
to me that strategy looks splendid, in the end if you're happy with it it's all that matters
don't remember watching any of Messenger Rising videos, have to check that out, any video you advise?
do you keep an actual list or you just go by memory?
Oh.
I create a list of videos I've watched (taking notes of any I think I need to rewatch because I haven't absorbed the content correctly) for each channel.
I have a list of Spetsnaz videos I've watched and a list of Messenger Rising videos.
I make sure the goal is attainable, if it isn't then I either work towards it or don't bother.
Also as far as I'm aware I've heard and kind of agree with the following videos as some of his best work: Let Go Of Your Guilt - You Were Programmed For Manipulation, Noncofmrist Man, Placebo effect, Optimism, Solutions and a Sense of Purpose, Psychological Resilience and Post Traumatic Growth, The Changing Personality, Withdrawal and the Benefits of Social Isolation, The Meat Grinder - Finding Meaning and The Monk's Code (The Monk's Code is a series of 4 videos spanning a total of 9 hours and around 21 minutes).
Shango says The Monk's Code is great.
honestly if you listened to MGTOW videos for at least 3 years you can reproduce most if not all the important points
I've listened to TFM's videos for about 3 years but I haven't listened to many of the other MGTOW channels.
