an important thing to keep in mind is to accept that you are whole and complete.
Realizing this will eliminate a lot of unnecessary fear and anxiety.

Thereafter move onto your desires and wants, and then focus on the "Big goal/End goal"
> why do you want it
> how much are you willing to put in to reach it

At the top of my head, another thing you might want to add into your routine is meditation. It's not some indian voodoo magic and actually has its positive impact on general wellbeing recorded in empirical science

Godspeed and deus vult

>meditation
How do I meditate? What does it do and how?

I've got two tips for you, OP:

I'm really not sure what your goals are, but if zyzz is your inspiration, I'm assuming you want to get laid. Take care of your teeth! Chicks notice this, and its not hard. Brushing religiously, floss, and some listerine go a long way. Bonus: Brush with your non dominant hand to improve coordination.

Second, make sure you properly stretch before and after your workouts, especially running. Athlean-x has some great youtube videos about this. Take care of yourself

This post is not going to warrant all the information (which can be easily sourced from the internet btw) of meditation, am typing on phone in middle of set so I'll just briefly tell you what to expect and not expect
1) expect thoughts, meditation is about "clearing your mind" or "being presently in the present" but you are definitely going to think of the lunch you ate or some other stuff, don't be frustrated and just let the thought come and go
Focus on your breathing, close your eyes
2) expect to have your mind wander or feel restless, relax
3) do not expect meditation to give you super powers, it will however, give you more self-awareness and ability to look at things more objectively (the science behind this is something about your brain neurons connections between the emotional sense and personal sense of being in the brain)
4) it can be done any part of the day, sitting on the train, or waiting for a car
5) 5 minutes is good enough, for a start. When you feel like you've got the time, and you've got the focus to increase the time, do it!

Godspeed! May mental gains and inner strength come to you

Thank you, I'm going to look into it a bit more and give it an honest try.

i enjoy mindfullness and emptiness meditation (without the spiritual component!!), but read a little bit into different styles and try some, before you settle for one specific thing

When I was sleeping on my sides, my knees would always drift up, further contributing to my APT. After I started exercises to straighten out, sleeping on my back helped to keep it that way. Also, it's best to get used to it if/when you get a gf.

>mental gains and inner strength

hmm, inner strength sounds nice. Usually, when I want inner strength, I would just get mad and channel that anger. But I guess different strokes for different folks.
