Daily reminder to make sure you brush your teeth (whiten), lift, run, eat properly, read a chapter of a classic book and watch a classic film every day.
Lets make this a general in order to inspire each other to keep improving and get aesthetic inside and out.
Discuss products, books and films here that relate to your self improvement routine.

Classics are great, but don't be a victim. There's some pretty solid contemporary literature/film.
>>12217253
Dumb post
>>12217261
Sure but you may aswell watch the classics before you start with new stuff. Build up a foundation you know?
in for learning to accept and forgive yourself for the past

What's mirror practicing?
I'm doing nofap and cold (How "cold" is cold? I can't bear anything besides slightly colder than room temperature, like fresh water bottle tier) and nofap and oh my god, it's so hard doing nofap. Obviously I'm a virgin and jacking off is my only form of relief.

>>12217266
>the start here meme
not even being rude but there is nothing better than watching whatever you want just for the hell of it. So many art chicks on their instagram stories watching Ghibli and 80's romance bullshit probably have the exact same idea and fall into the hive mind trap because instead of wanting to watch film for the art, they watch it for the value it adds to their social status
>>12217201
You forgot to mention scrape your tongue daily. If you're poor and autistic like me do calisthenics, skate or bike, go vegetarian/vegan till you have self control. Read daily and watch videos/movies if you must, but remember even the faggiest circle jerk foreign films won't jog yr brain nearly as much as a good book does.
>>12218617
This.
>>12218605
I gotta agree, who has time for this shit. By 5:30 I just want to the gym or go out on the town.
>>12218752
'He's a fucking philistine.'
'What's a philistine?'
'A philistine is a person who isn't interested in books or good films, and just want to the gym or go out on the town'
I'm paraphrasing like:)
>>12218109
>e) mirror practicing

Holy shit this is a good thread idea, I think I saw one a while back. Lets make this a regular general.

How does it to be so far up your own ass you will never achieve happiness?
Enjoy your empty life.
>>12218126
yes
>>12218605
these are my hobbies
>>12218608
you can do both
it's not a rule, I was just throwing it out there as a general way to improve yourself
>>12218689
Then do it. Nothing wrong with exposing yourself to an hour of art or emotion in the form of a film every day
>>12218840
Don't watch one then. The point of adding that to the OP was to encourage people to look more into art in any form.
Anyway what you reading/lifting/watching/eating lads?
And not a single recommendation of book/film.
>>12217201
>brush teeth thoroughly in morning and evening with electric toothbrush every day
>dentists always say i have good, healthy teeth
>don't smoke or drink coffee
>they're fucking yellow
What should I do? I'm thinking they're yellow because I had bad brushing habits when I was younger, but they're still yellow even though I've been brushing thoroughly twice a day for years. Is getting them whitened a good option? Are white strips good or should I get it done professionally? Or is it really as simple as brushing more? Because I brush as much or more as everyone I know and most of them have whiter teeth.
>>12219138
You in america?
Crest 3d white mouthwash,toothpaste and strips.
>>12219141
The mouthwash seems interesting, I'll have to get that. If that doesn't work out I might try the strips. Ty
>>12219138
Crest Whitestrips are the best drugstore whitener, Glo has a better at-home system, getting them done professionally is the best option. Whitestrips make my teeth really sensitive, but sometimes I'll use a set before a big trip or event or something.
>>12219088
>What are you reading/lifting/watching/eating
Currently rereading Brave New World and it's so much funnier this time around. I read it for the first time about 10 years ago.
>lifting
I just changed to a 5-day split from three-day and I'm liking it better and I'm hitting higher numbers and different groups get longer recovery times.
>watching
I recently watched Gaspar Noé's Love, which is in no way classic, but indulgent and pretty. I really want to see Almodóvar's Julieta before it leaves the cinema. I expect it to be good because I like Alice Munro's characters and I like what I've seen from Almodóvar (The Skin I Live In, Volver, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Broken Embraces, All About My Mother).
>eating
I am not eating anything remotely interesting though I got in a fight with a friend last week about the ethics of foie gras.
>>12217201
This sounds great, but i don't think that it should be just classic books or films. It should be encouraged to find your own taste.
>>12219261
Why's everyone getting hung up on this bit of the OP? It's just a suggestion.
>>12219269
Well he wrote specifically "read a chapter of a classic book and watch a classic film every day" vs "have hobbies" and "learn to understand art"
Books and films are nice, but you can't forget about music. What are you listenimg to /fa/?
>>12219275
Sounds like it was implied
When people spam DAILY REMINDER RICK OWENS IS THE BEST DESIGNER ALIVE they're stating an opinion which leads to discussion as opposed to just blurting out random thoughts in their head then instantly moving on to something else
>>12219278
Yeah true but people will still oppose that and take it as a real fact that OP is stating. so instead of arguing semantics why not respond to the people ITT who actually bothered to respond?
>>12219277
>>12219193
Do you mind post your lifting routine my man?
>watch a classic film every day
watch a movie every other day at the most.
If you just splurge on quality film, you will overlook what it has and not dwell on anything it shows

http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide/masturbation-guide
>While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
>Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities.

Give me advice on how to improve my face. That's all I fucking want, alright?
I usually sport long, messy hair, basically a mop on my head.
I want to look mature and well-groomed, I'm 22 for fucks sake. I look like a dyke.
I'd also like some advice on how to get the best hair quality, be it products, dietary advices, or even supplements.

>>12220400
At least where I live, the amount of products shipping the "healthy" life is insane.
They all boast nutrients and proteins and whatnot, and people buy it ofc.
Not saying that about reading classics and watching classics is trendy, note that I have a "/aesthetic".

any self improvement tips for actually keeping motivation and having a decent schedule/not wasting time?

>>12219138
Brush and scrub your teeth thoroughly with baking soda.
After your done brushing, let the soda sit on your teeth as long as possible.
A few minutes of letting it sit each day after brushing will work wonders.
Yes, baking soda whitens teeth.
>>12218617
No fap helps you get laid
When you constantly get sexual relief from a artifical source, you never get the motivation to talk to a girl which will then lead to you having sex if done properly.
No fapping helps to TEMPORARILY boost your testosterone and will therefore also boost your libido which is your body telling you to find a female and fuck her, and since you haven't had any sexual relief in weeks you'll be more motivated and desperate to try to talk to a real girl so you can actually get laid.
Think about it this way, when you have an apple tree that ALWAYS gives you apples, and then the apple tree get struck by lightning and is destroyed, you'll EVENTUALLY go out and look for some apples to fuck.
I wish /fa/ was about talking about clothing instead of discussing literally every other lifestyle element. I'm very happy with my lifestyle and advice from 4chan in that department seems to be of the worst sort.
>>12221807
Pursuing women for the sake of having meaningless sex is about as blue pilled as it gets, lad
If you've found a nice lass to settle down with for at least the short foreseeable future then no-fap is a go
Otherwise it's a good idea to keep your mind from chasing dumb whores, STD mules, and time wasters.
>>12217266
Not really applicable to literature. Philosophy and the sciences are what you need a foundation for, because contemporary ideas are built upon classical ones. Literature has changed technically over the ages, but each work is a singular piece and can be understood by itself (i.e. you don't need an understanding of how literary techniques have evolved in order to understand what makes a work good, whereas you need a solid grasp of the classic in order to even comprehend some late continental philosophy)
