Learning how to relax isn't that revolutionary. It's pretty simple, and something everyone should learn to do. Too much stress is bad for your well being. Luckily, there are some ways to relax. You should be getting enough sleep as well. Sleep is what rebuilds your muscles, and makes you stronger for the next day. If you have a meth problem, try to get it under control. I know it's not easy- I have been there. That's for another post though. Here are some ways to relax:

  • Breathing Exercises

  • Stretching

  • Meditation

  • Performance Statements (Think to yourself how you need to perform in order to have success).

  • Visualizing Success (Visualize what that success looks like).

Those are some basic methods. Let's talk about some controversial methods.

  • Marijuana

My opinion is that if you want to smoke weed, smoke weed. The caveat is that you need a life plan though. Don't just be getting high without working on yourself. For instance, I partake sometimes. It's hard not to, I live in the Seattle area.But I make sure I am getting stuff done if I choose to smoke. Some of my blog articles and posts here have been done while high. I used to smoke a lot in college, and would always do homework and assignments under the influence of the herb. For example, in a creative writing class I was taking, I was told my work was the best in the class and acquired A's all throughout. Nowadays, I have cut back for personal reasons. So it is possible to be productive and smoke weed, but some people will be too lazy. It depends on the person. So only use marijuana if you won't be a lazy sack of shit.

  • Porn/Masturbation

This is on here because I know many men consider it "relaxation". Porn and Masturbation. These two go hand in hand. And if you're having to choose between this or pot? I would choose the pot! Not even kidding, this shit FUCKS you up if you aren't careful. I don't feel the need to explain this one too much. Whereas with pot there are actually positives, there really aren't any with porn and masturbation. The year is 2019, and I am on a little journey I like to call "No Nut Nineteen". Yes, that's right, I just turned 27 on the first of January, and I chose to give porn/masturbation up and give marijuana use some breathing room. People are different, but in my experience, after nutting to internet porn, I have absolutely no interest in going out and interacting with human females. I would much rather watch cartoons like Spongebob and go to sleep. Not even joking. I can't tell you what to do, but I can advise against it. Maybe you can handle spanking the monkey and feel no change at all in motivation, but for me, it tanks my week. It's just how I am. And so I choose to bang women, not fake over-paid internet pornstars like Riley Reid who won't be jumping out of the screen to suck your dick.

  • Video Games

God, I love Skyrim. But refer to the marijuana example- have a life plan. Goal(s). Play games as a reward for yourself.

So there you have it. Meditation is your friend. Clear your mind. It can get cluttered. Just don't clutter it up with more junk like porn by thinking it will actually relax you the right way. It may for a moment, but your mind will be more cluttered than it was.
Which is why I would recommend meditation the most out of everything on here I have mentioned. There are good apps for it, like Headspace. In general, it isn't too complicated to learn how to meditate. You can even meditate after smoking pot, if that's your fancy. However, there really isn't anything better than basic, sober, quiet meditation. If you can learn that, then the world is your oyster.

In Conclusion

A pretty basic concept, relaxation. Too bad many people either don't relax enough, or relax just a little too much (ehem, porn, ehem).

Relaxation is important for your inner game. So I had to include a dedicated post in this 12 part series focusing on it. If interested in more of my writings? I do have a manosphere blog with my username as the address. I won't link it though, as I haven't earned my right to do so. I am no Rollo. I'll be back with the next part in this series later, maybe even as soon as Wednesday, where I intend to put an assault on your anxiety should you have it.

And remember...RELAX!
