How do YOU feel?

[SilverSonnet]

If there's a mirror in your house, go to it now. Take a good long look at yourself, and ask yourself this question "Am I happy with myself right now?"
Then ask some of these questions
"Am I doing what makes ME happy, or am I doing what OTHERS want me to do?"
"Am I following MY OWN path in life, or is SOMEONE ELSE choosing it for me?"

Answer them honestly, or you wont get anywhere, knock out your ego for a second, and ask these honestly. I know I'm not happy with myself. AT ALL. I'm not doing what I need/want to do.

I want to work out regularly but do I? Nope.
I want to revise often and get good grades, but do I? Nope.
I want clear skin and to look good, but do i make the effort? Nope.

What about you?

now, to end this thread, think about these:

"Every time I wanted to quit, I said to myself Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion"

"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."

Peace.

MOst people are not happy... for many reasons... So life becomes a treasure hunt for that elusive happiness.

Happiness is a 2 part thing.. it has to be manifested internally and externally... and no you cant maintain internal happiness if you environment is negative.. and if you are internally unhappy your external will not magically change that ... so we must strike tat balance...

Pointless thread. No point in reminding people what they're crap at if you're not going to do anything about it. Take your negativity elsewhere Ben.

Man up or move out.

To the point: Your inner game is messed up silver!

You need to fix that.

Because there is nothing that's really preventing you from being "happy"...

"I know I'm not happy with myself. AT ALL"
WHY?! What's the reason? That's making you crap just let it go! You don't need no more motivation. Just start feeling good!

And you listed mostly things you can control.
And about your skin: Looks don't matter, only sexuality does.

People can look like crap on the outside but still be in a good mood, which is attractive anyway.

Next thread, please!

You need to identify the real problem. Looks?
And add this motivator: Someone who is happy but has bad genes (boo-hoo about think you can't control anyway) vs. someone who has good genes and is not happy, the happy person is more attractive.

You only make other people happy if you are happy.

Do you need anything else to stop feeling bad about yourself? Look it's ruining you! Just let it go.

Whining... Pfft!

 

[SilverSonnet]

Lol, sorry guys. In such a better mood now, I apoligise for this sh1te post. I really do.

Feeling pretty groovy myself. Got up at 6 am, meditated, eent to the gym this morning. Got all my work done today. Went shopping for some new stuff to hook up my crib. Got some compliments on my new watch. In good health and good spirits. It's been a great day. Might have free tickets to a concert and the weather is beautiful. Now if my pc will just fix it's self all would be perfect with the world!

Hey dude, listen, I don't care what the other guys say. You really struck a cord with me. I've been thinking a lot about this kind of stuff recently. Not really in the sense that you meant them, but the words you said made sense to me in a different way.

I actually am pretty happy with myself. I do play sports regularly, I do look good and all that stuff. But the stuff about following your own path in life is really true. Right now I'm in college and I'm doing... Fvck, I don't know what I'm doing. I've really been looking for direction in my life recently. That is until I really thought about it.

Honestly, I don't think it really matters. I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life- who I want to become. But really, when I think about it, it doesn't matter what I do with my life 'cause in the end, we all die. Even if I become rich and famous and all that jazz, I'll still die. So why sweat over what happens to me. I already know how this story is gonna end anyway.

But if there no real point to all this, what do we do now? Whatever you want. There is nothing to do. So just do what I do; have fun. I skipped all of my classes today. Why? I was having fun with my friends. I didn't want to go. Besides, it doesn't matter anyways, so why do something boring, right?

 

[SilverSonnet]

Ah well, at least someone got something out of it

 

[ItsOnNow]

No,and I have suffered,but am not a champion.

 

[SinJester]

I don't believe you have to suffer for progress.

 

[iqqi]

stop posting this sh1t and just go get your sh1t together

I agree, dear.

Stop posting so much for a minute, and READ.

Goes hand in hand with that "talking too much" thing we touched on.

Try listening/reading more, instead of talking/posting.

Instead of using this forum as a journal, go buy a notebook, and really keep a journal so you can see your progress.

When you feel the urge to write a new thread in an effort to purge the thoughts in your head, hit the search button instead, go back a few years, and see what's been said on the topic. I recommend reading all of the Bible, all of the tips on the homepage of this site, all of Pook, all of Senor Fingers. Even I still do this at times.

Start there. When you run out, I got more for ya.

New self-talk is the key, and that self-talk must be spoken in the present, not as if it's something you'll do in the future.

Working out:
"Yes, I am working out today"
"I am getting in shape"
"I love the way I feel when I get a good work out"

Good grades:
"I am working to get better grades"
"I love earning good grades"
"I am a hard worker"
"I am studying today"

Clear skin:
"I will wash my face now"
"I love Proactive, and I am ordering now"

Making the effort:
"I take full responsibility for myself, my actions, and I allow others to be responsible for themselves"
"I take action"
"I make a valiant effort"
"I will not quit"

You have to use these often throughout the day until you've replaced your negative self-talk. You can make some more positive self-talk affirmations and read them three times a day until you've changed your subconscious negative thinking.

I appreciate the thought. Aren't you like 14 yrs old though? My bad if its someone else....but I was definitely not focusing on women and self improvement at 14....go have some normal, kid's fun.

 

[PhunGar]

This might be a bit off topic

but ive found myself looking in mirrors and reflective surfaces mroe going damn i look good.... its such a bad habit but o well

i sumwat agree with this. at 14, u need to have loads of friends, both girls and guys, and whatever happens should happen by itself. right now, just have the best time of ur lifetime. go out and do everything you want to do, forget self-improvement, dear!

 

[SilverSonnet]

Lol. Forgot that I posted this and found it on my subscribed threads. Yeah, I can see how mardy I was. I posted this 'cos I didn't have my sh!t together, and I was too lazy to do stuff.
Now, I wash my face and it looks great
I work out and I feel GREAT for it, which reminds me, I'll be working out after posting this.
And instead of not being arsed to go out and play with mates. I'm out nearly all the time. Damn, my mum nearly grounded me 'cos I'm out all the time so late, playing rugby (come on ) and football(soccer)

So, woop! I like self-improving, and even though I am 14, I'd rather improve myself, than sit there like alot of people my age wondering why I'm such a freakin' loser.

 

[My Name is Nobody]

feeling great today.. after a hellish 3 months for stupidly dating a co worker I got a gym membership and have date #2 with a hot, interesting girl Friday night.

Don't ever give up, as long as you keep trying better days are ahead.

That girl ditching me is going to be the best thing that could have happened.

 

[SilverSonnet]

Awesome! I'm abit disappointed in myself though...saw this cute girl from my school walking on the opposite side of the road...but like...my mum was with me. Ugh, I seem to find an excuse for everything.
I know I just can't drop my mum on her own and stuff, but damn, I wanted that girls number.
