I'm in for this. I have been ridiculously undisciplined in almost every aspect of my life for months now. My sleep habits are horrible, eating habits are down the toilet, my dream of being a college athlete in track is starting to disappear, and I've lost so much motivation for everything. This is a slippery slope I really don't want to travel.
Guys, how can I change this? I have literally lost my "why" for everything. It's almost like I've become apathetic to my own life. I recognize the potential in myself, but body just doesn't want do anything about it.
Reps to anyone with helpful tips!*Reps everyone who negs crew*

Problem is, I have had that kind of ambition and discipline. I was doing so damn well 9 months ago. I literally felt on top of the world. I just want to get back to that. I felt like the possibilities were endless. Now it's a feeling of general apathy. Just emptiness. None of my old hobbies excite me as much anymore. It's weird as hell man.
Thanks for the tip about expanding outwards. After this week, I'll get to catch up on sleep. I've been super busy with school and work, it's wrecking my actual workouts.*Reps everyone who negs crew*

Sup Brahs!
So I have been struggling to make money for years now, got myself 2 degrees, qualified as a lawyer but its a real struggle for the first few years but even when I started my career as a lawyer in 2012 (self-employed barrister in Ireland so its a huge struggle financially for years) I enrolled in night college in a specific area of law. After applying and applying and applying to opportunities, I hit it huge and got into a "Top 5" law firm over here. I started 5 weeks ago and so my financial troubles are now no more for the rest of my life. It's a great feeling. Of course, Im still broke at the moment paying off my debts etc.
So....
2014 is going to be my year. It's a year of my improvement. I think educationally I am there, but I'm lacking on a lot more. So here is my list for this year:
Get my own apartment. (Will be moving into this in about 6-8 weeks)
Get my stupid tattoo removed (Got my first laser today)
Tidy up my teeth (they arent too bad, a tiny bit of overcrowding and I think a brace for a couple of months will make a huge improvement - consultation this week)
Work hard on the body/physique (Joined a gym about a year ago but it was difficult to go with my previous job, it was sporadic to say the least. Now with this new job, I get to go at lunch a decent few times a week and get to eat exactly what I want because I bring lunch into work)
New wardrobe (This comes with the new job's finances - I havent been able to buy nice stuff in so long, but got myself a ridiculously expensive CK polo today and I will just gradually buy things throughout the year).
So basically, its a year of health and aesthetic improvements for me.
Now; here's the stupid part (or is it) - Im trying to avoid getting a girlfriend right now, Im 28 and feel like its time to settle down almost and find a nice lady but I'm thinking, if I make all the above improvements throughout the year, then on "the scale" as in a 1=10 scale I will surely move up one place. So, by that logic, I should be able to acquire a lady one place higher on the scale. So its worth holding out until next year to get myself a girl. Besides, nobody is going to go near me with a mouth of metal!!
Cliffs;
read the whole post or dont, what do I care!

Nothing really that I can think of. I just stopped caring.
It happened progressively, and it's been a long slump.
It's not that I'm overthinking things my man, it's just that I don't seem to care. I don't have the natural motivation I had months ago.
I totally understand what you are saying though. I just need to build my habits up again.*Reps everyone who negs crew*

Forgive me if this has already been discussed (I haven't read every page yet), but has anybody else here read Think and Grow Rich?
This is by far the best self-improvement book I have read. While I wasn't all that impressed the first time I read it, I decided to give it another go studying every line carefully, highlighting and taking notes on things as well as doing the activities it suggests. It has definitely changed my mindset, and I am confident that I have discovered the 'secret' that is mentioned in the introduction.

In!!
I have no idea what I am going to do with my life. I have thought of going into trades but I don't like the work environment, it's not that I can't do physical labor, I have been doing it my whole life, it's just that everything I read about them makes it seem like you have to constantly be relocating to different sites and working long unpredictable hours. I would prefer a set schedule. I love my current job working at a warehouse, the job isn't stressful, the bosses are cool and my employees are great. I just wish it paid me more than $15 dollars an hour.
I have a passion for nutrition but I hate school. I wasted so much time and money on college because I didn't put in the effort, and failed to take many necessary courses because of social anxiety. I have friends but I don't go out much because I don't do the typical partying and drinking. People always ask me how I am able to have fun without alcohol, and I am starting to think they are right.
The only thing in the world that makes me feel free is playing soccer. My whole life revolves around it. When I go out its to play soccer. When I am confident, is when I play soccer. When I am depressed, it's because I play bad soccer. I am starting to think it's an obsession. But now all that has been shattered, because I tore my acl, lcl, and meniscus, and I know soccer will never be the same again. I was taken away from the only thing that makes me feel alive.

One thing I'd like to add is watch how animals cling to life because they know how precious it is, and it is something we often always take for granted.
We're all dealt with chitty cards, but it's what we make of life. You see all these dogs, cats, pets go through abuse day in and day out, but they don't try to commit suicide. They keep fighting until they get that second chance.
I'm a manlet. Hated myself in high school and freshman year in college because I was so short. Everyone towered me. Then I got into BBoying. I found out my height was perfect for breakdancing and doing power moves. Not that I'll ever be a professional with it but it's something that I can do and be good at.SwiftRick is a fictional character

Objectivity>everything.
Lettuce be reality, yes we do all go through our own struggles, but relative to people who don't even have their BASIC necessities covered....well our struggles ain't THAT bad.
I actually wrote this thread a while ago that covers a lot of this stuff:
