Simple — mostly via negativa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Quit reddit– I actually wonder if reddit is worse<\/em> for you than porn. Funny thought — don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quit porn, quit reddit instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Quit alcohol and weed: just drink black coffee — EK 100% fine robusta<\/a>. Also another pro tip — don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t drink arabica, just drink 100% robusta. Why? Less sugar content and sugar molecules and sweetness flavors — robusta also has more caffeine!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. For coffee — only drink it first thing in the morning — a lot; allow yourself unlimited coffee first thing waking up in the morning. But for the rest of the day\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 strict abstinence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go to the club, the mall, the strip club whatever. Just go on a (free) hike and start your own home gym<\/a> instead! Titan fitness independent squat rack<\/a>— I love it. Also rogue fitness 400 pound sandbag<\/a>. Texas power squat bar<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Visit the local museum — LACMA, THE GETTY, GETTY VILLA IN MALBU ETC. The Getty<\/a> in LA is free!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Read the classics — Plutarch, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Diogenes, Epictetus, Heraclitus, the philosophers who came before<\/em> Socrates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy exercises and activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Buy vibram 5 finger shoes<\/a>, just black. I like the EL-X model<\/a>. Just make this your everyday shoe. Wear it to the gym, to work, grocery store, go hiking whatever. Theory — there is more intelligence in your (bare) feet than your hands?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Intermittent fasting: no breakfast no lunch, only one insanely massive dinner a night. I prefer 100% carnivore diet — aim for 5 pounds of beef\/lamb a night. Costco Kirkland boneless lamb leg roast only $5.50 USD a pound, the new Costco wagyu American ground beef also very good– only $5USD a pound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Get a Costco membership:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
