Get it ordered! They're so smooth! I dont even like alcohol but a Bailey's at christmas is a certified vibe, remember to put an ice cube in!
Feeling good! I believe I'm in a bit of a flatline atm but tbh that's welcomed! I've still half given up on women and dating for now but we never know what will happen in the future. Just focused on personal goals at the minute! How about you man?

Hey man! I have read your journey and really glad you have the self-discipline and motivation to quit something you think is harmful. But I occasionally see that you have problems sleeping and start to think about MO. Did you try taking Melatonin? Its a safe med very helpful to fall asleep faster. Its even available over the counter and in Costco etc.. I pop one of them some nights where I start to think about MO. lmk if you have tried it?

Hey king! I've never taken Melatonin, or any other supplement for that matter (Vitamin D and Zinc aside)! I may have a look into that if it starts getting bad again, thank you brother

Sounds good my man, will do. Yeah I'm focused on some personal goals atm but definitely planning on getting back into dating next yr. You gotta do you, figure out what you need and take it at a pace you're comfortable with. I've no doubt you're capable of achieving all of your goals my man

I love this! Absolutely work on yourself before dating, you can't enter a relationship as half a person! Thank you bro, let's get out there and smash life while we're in our roaring 20s!

So I've bought a diary (journal) for this year. I'm going to note the events of the day and start gratitude journalling. I'm also gonna start meditation and I MUST start reading more again, I will become a proper man if it kills me!

Great stuff man, journaling is a fantastic habit. Really helps relieve the conscious and unconscious stresses. The gratitude journaling is great as well, a book you might like as you seek to become the best version of yourself is The Happiness Advantage. Give it a read, lot of good tips

'Get outside. Turn off the phone and computer. Get your feet in the earth or snow. Feel your body. Feel the dirt. Feel the friggedness of winter's frost on your feet. Breath.
Talk to her. Talk to anyone. Talk to your wife. Talk to yourself in the mirror. Stop living in your head. Start living in the world. Death will consume you no matter what. So consume life with no fears.
Scream at the imperfections of life. Don't cry out at what you can't change. Only cry for the future you've decided not to change. There is meaning in all the madness. But first you have to become mad.
Stop running from porn. Start running towards life. Consume less. Produce more. Every night before sleep is a rehearsal of death. Thus live each and every day reflecting upon your last and final breath.' -@Blondie. Beautiful, poetic and profound!

Thank you for the question king! This year is the year of making BANK! My business has started to gain some traction and I intend to squeeze as much money out of it as possible so that I can reinvest into other avenues and compound my money down the line. Now that my true masculine energy is returning I have stoked the hearth of passion and I would like to put my energy into self improvement. I will do this by:
- Continue building my physique and staying disciplined enough to train in the gym every 2 days without fail. This part is going well so far as I trained on Christmas Day and trained all through being ill (I have had a bad cough bug for weeks).
- Building my current business and expanding as I mentioned earlier. Work, work, work!
- Reading more. I MUST read more this year, I have been slacking recently. I have been reading Flipnosis - The Art of Split Second Persuasion by Dr Kevin Dutton for ages now and I should have finished it months ago. It's a great book, I recommend it! Anything Kevin Dutton is a gold mine
- Starting meditation. This is something that I must have the discipline to do, as it provides so many mental health benefits that I'd be stupid not to! It's also a great way to cleanse my tumultuous soul
- Coming off antidepressants. I've been weening off them for a couple of months now so this is nearly accomplished!
