@@MinecraftKid120 You can replace it with excercise, reading/studying (turn off all notifications and meditate/just lay in bed and stop for a mind if you find yourself being drawn to technology)
@@MinecraftKid120 Obligatory weight lifting, but also I attempt to make things, mostly metal, things I actually need but some that are just interesting to me. I have a chronic back condition/bad scoliosis and need to design (mostly just copy/translate the working mechanisms into shit I can make with minimal equipment, old stick welder, hacksaw, jigsaw, files, regular hand drill) and build some fairly specialised gear for correcting it as it impacts my life massively, stretches etc just don’t cut it. I’m currently making a cheapo peasant version almost identical in function and build to the Oak Club Manufacturing James Hooks (j hooks) for a 6x6cm squat rack I’m making. Real pair is 440 dollars, mine is currently sitting at about £60. Some of the stuff is bodybuilding stuff, it’s less complicated than the scoliosis stuff which I need a rack to mount in anyway. I need to do mostly what others would consider accessory movements, regular bodybuilding stuff is doing a number on my joints at this point anyway. I spend a fair amount of time on eBay for parts/materials and studying pics and videos of equipment to copy, and with a notebook drawing the stuff. I’m also making other stuff, I have an old car, part of the window pane holder rusted to bits, I’m making a replacement from brass and copper to attach to a bracket that survived the rust. It’s a rare car so no spares exist really, have to make them. For the fuel door I’ve also had to make a very small hinge mechanism with 2 fulcrums/barrels (folds back on itself) and a mounting plate, some modified bolts to replace the plastic rivets, all brass and copper. It has to move in a very particular way to unlatch, and has to fit a tiny space. I have to now make an alignment jig to drill and rivet the hinges together, so I’m like 70% done maybe more. Keeps me busy. Far more time has been spent thinking about how to actually make the stuff with very few tools/not much money to buy more tools with. It’s easy to make anything if you have masses of scrap and new metal and a lathe, mill, drill press, arbor press etc. but I have to redesign everything multiple times to suit budget, stuff going out of stock on eBay, new deals on materials popping up, and each simple part becomes like 10 as it’s cheaper and easier to make small, technically simple pieces, everything cut on a right angle, minimal welding, no machine tools and such. It’s not advisable but it would make a fun hobby I suppose. Won’t pretend it’s entirely fun or pleasant though, especially waiting for cheap little things like washers to arrive, or scouring eBay for deals on steel plates and such, obviously many other people don’t do this for a reason, it’s scarcely worth anyone’s time, not even mine but I have no other options. It’s what I have to do, I rely on parents money as you can’t get a job if you can’t even stand up for long enough to do shit you actually want to do. If this stuff works out I should end up with more autonomy and then shit will start going my way. Better than PC gaming all day, or watching TH-cam. I still watch at least 40 min or so of TH-cam each day, much of it is just research for my projects though. I’m not a monk, I do watch stuff for entertainment too, and I’m not literally always working on a project, though 90% of downtime is due to my projects reaching a roadblock (such as “how the fuck do you drill a 25mm hole with a 6mm drill bit” or something unfortunate like that) or simply running out of material, waiting for it to arrive in the post. I do game as well but I often go weeks and months without gaming. Done like 3 hours this week after a month of not gaming. Making stuff is a good way to pass time but it’s far more fun if there’s no stakes or anxiety tied to it, in my eyes, for the scoliosis equipment at least, it’s like a myopic focus of my life, object of my madness, I have tunnel vision at this point. A sensible alternative hobby is just cleaning up cheap old tools, you probably know someone who has some, and see if you can apply them to make something cool or useful, or to restore more tools. If there’s something you actually want to do or feel that you need to do, Id say, you may as well try it. Personally I wish I’d started my projects when I was like 12 lol. Even if it’s something lame that you want to do, fuck it, there’s people out there sucking dick and smoking crack, can’t be that silly of a thing you want to do.

You know, this video really hit home to me when talking about two things #1. Not living the lone wolf path and feeling you HAVE to do and get everything in life done by yourself and you can't get any handouts when the reality is that path is a very painful one and we as humans all need help and the right people surrounding us. So ask more questions and ask for help when needed. And #2. Is really getting away from a dead environment that doesn't serve you it's depressing, dead and no energy (not something you want to be around when you have dreams and ambition in life) I need to find the correct people in my life, my tribe. Thank you very much 🙏
Its interesting how games were design based on natural human behivor of self improvment. When we getting better in something, where are a huge dopamine boost that engage us to the process, helps to focus more and eventually will creating an habit. When you start a new games you usually start as some weak character who knows nothing. While you level up in the game by improving your character you create a powerful circle what basically means more you progress in the game --> more you want to getting even better to continue with progress This shit applies to real life... just do it, till you begin to fall into the circle of improvement.
The environment explanation is spot on! living in the wrong ones can take ur mind and body down fast in ways you done see until u are so far don the depression hole.
Francisco the Rebel checking in - This video is so important. It summarizes the High Thumos lifestyle. This way of life changed my life for the better. And so true at 23:20 about buzzing the head. It just feels right and I feel grounded. I also get more respect from people and looks from women. Be blessed brother. Thank you!
When you speak about people being high I remember back in the days when I smoked a lot I would get uplifted. Now when I smoke I get so fking low man. I think its because I had so little energy back in the day that weed (which is a downer) uplifted me.
i went for a walk listening to this video. i returned home and felt as if i should shave my head. at the same moment i made my first stroke, you said “shave your head” absolute synchronicity
Meditate, this will literally make everything better. Once a day, while you walk just meditate 10 min a day at least. Even while you lift, thats meditation
That bit on shame is big.. bullying helped me through a lot weirdness.. It's a form of teaching, how else would I KNOW? Sometimes nice people don't affect change they just share ideas.
Start every single day with 750ml of water and end it the same way, I chuck a little apple cider vinegar and lemon juice in mine. Peace of mind that no matter how much I managed to drink during the day, I'll stay reasonably hydrated.
@@Hero_Of_Old 90% of them do it for themselves to make themselves feel better never really for men. But I agree they usually look terrible but hey that's our opinion and we don't necessarily have the right to tell someone else what to do with their own face whether they look good or not 🤣 it's gut wrenching sometimes to see it but what can ya do 🤷♂️
One thing I've noticed is that men should aim to be as much like God as they can. If you think about it, God is the perfect man. He is infinitely strong and powerful, but also completely loving and just. He is completely wise, but willing to listen to us
As someone who practices Taoism, and since I learned the benefits of having a long hair, cutting my hair is the last thing I will do. As a kid I always had long hair until my mother decided to cut it. When I think about it, it kinda reminds me of Samson and Delilah.
@@memesmojo5622 There are a few on google if you want to know, but if you also look historically, Samurais, native Americans, Vikings mostly had long hair, and that represented strength, maturity, some spiritual reasons, so on and so forth. It doesn't mean that having short hair doesn't apply to that as well, short hair probably has other benefits. As for me, since my hair is growing I am more peacefully than I used to be. More self aware and since I always have to take care of my hair, I have something that I can't never procrastinate on, because of that I barely procrastinate on my other tasks.
