These are physical aspects however, what of the mental. One can create beauty in their living space but it means nothing if the mind is still made ill. To this end, I keep it simple as possible; if you watch TV, just turn it off. Skip the soy filled comic movies, abandon the degenerate "buddy" comedies where retards get into trouble by being retards, it's all a demonstration on how to live a ruined life anyway, what do you lose. The semetic power fantasy of magically being given power, not earning it or the entertainment of some fools trying to mount some prostitutes and getting drunk on a road trip? The entirety of modern mainstream media, in case you had somehow missed it, is designed to destroy your will and spirit. It's just as bad as the modern news cycle which most avoid, it's selling you self destructive ideas just in a subtler form. Same applies to online, it's all well and good watching some Lets Play or some idiot discuss his favourite character in a game or something, it's also incredibly hollow. It's a reflection of what you're trying to break free from thusly by consuming such media you become trapped in the cycle. Break that cycle. Even if you think you know the games being played and wish to watch it with a critical eye, it's still entrapment, those ideas are still being pushed on you even with the cognition to recognise it. It will still sap your spirit, mayhaps even more so as you know what it's goal is.
Now the big push for most, you have identified the areas in your immediate space and life and required change and began working upon it but something hangs over you. Take your shirt off and go look in a mirror. What do you see? Do you a see a paunch middle aged man with a protruding gut, mayhaps a late teens gangly form lacking definition and shape, maybe something in between both examples. Most men come to /sig/ wishing to reform this without ever understanding the underlying psychology behind how to become permanently stronger. Most will get physically fitter for a brief spell until they get out of the habit and slip back, their Will sapped. This is why I have spoken so strongly on the understanding of what it takes to define your form for if the body is to be reformed then the spirit and mind supporting it must be built to withstand the dedication it requires. Only with the strength of the spirit and unbending Will can lead you to a point where you feel truly content in yourself. I won't go on too long about these ideas, I would direct you to these if you seek understanding;
So where to start? First, you must bite a bullet and find a local gym. Now there is an addendum to this and that is find one with minimal diversity, even if it means going further afield than your comfortable with. The reason beyond the obvious is quite simple, in a gym environment some feel more at risk or fear of judgement than usual, having the risks of diversity nearby will only make the experience unassailable. Don't consider this an excuse though, you *must* find a gym if you want to stand the best chance at dedication due to the variety of equipment offered, don't fall for the picking up cinder blocks in the back garden crap you'll sometimes see on /fit/, no one ever does that beyond those already deep into /fit/. Identified a gym? Good. Now force yourself to sign up, don't stall and say you'll do it later, just get it done and out the way then go buy cotton shorts and a light t-shirt, none of the plastic sportswear of the ridiculous underarmour unless your now pretending to be an athlete. Also make sure not to get those useless extras gyms offer such as free juice or personal trainers and so forth, you can research technique and routines online easily.
