Keen to hear about your cold approach tomorrow Mac!

Photos look good. To me the ones of you doing a thing, vlogging, guitar etc look better. I have this theory that men always look better doing a thing compared to a women who can just be. Don’t hold your breathe on getting the raws from the photog
 
Thanks bro. I will do my best. She told me it is not in her policy to provide RAW files, and as Ariel eludes to, I guess this is a photographer thing lol.

THE PHOENIX PROJECT: WEEK 7

Affirmations & Visualisation, DONE

Gym, DONE

Nose reshaping and facial symmetry exercises, DONE

Skincare routine, DONE

Dermapen & Nizarol shampoo, DONE

Work, DONE

Broadband installation, DONE

Gas & Electric, challenging situation, but risk managed for now - DONE

Bed & clothes frame / clothes rail assembly, DONE

Photographer is editing my images today, and we could expect the final output on Thursday. I studied some copywriting for side hustle purposes and reached out to a bro from the coaching group for advice.

Notes:

Gas and electric is at an all time high in the UK. The comparison sites produce some shocking rates. I called up company I know is cheap and not on comparison sites, and the agent gave me some good advice. He said when you move into a place, you are supplied by your current supplier, and because of this, you put onto the Standard Variable tarriff. This tarrif is HALF as much as other offers out there right now!! This is what we are currently on (I checked), and literally across all the comparison sites, the deals are £50-70 more than our current per month. FUCK THAT.

Timmy and I have opted to stay on this tarriff. We haven’t supplied our details, so British Gas will bill us as “The Occupier” and will send a bill in due course.

We expect the energy market will change in Jan or Feb, and we will look at other, cheaper suppliers then. If we can find a better deal, we will switch, and at that point, we will settle our bill with British Gas and move onwards.

I wanted to just get our deal with British Gas confirmed today and make an account, but I was on the phone just holding for an hour and a half. The energy market has gone mad.

But there is always a solution. We are on the best tariff right now and no further action is needed until mid Jan / Early Feb.

Nothing is ideal about the world right now. No Excuses. We will always find a way to win regardless.

I need to find a way to get sex on a regular basis with a multitude of women, and I need to find a way to get laid by 10 women this year. I have never been laid before as you know, but I must figure it out.

Since stopping use of topical dutasteride, my sex drive has begun to come back. Today, it was truly through the roof.

I will cold approach tomorrow because I simply need to be around women.

Flat is mostly sorted now. Need to sort out a desk, throw out the old wardrobe, and get a bar stool. Then, we’re good.

Moving is time consuming and takes a lot of action. I am now in a position to go hard in 2022. Regardless of what happens with lockdowns or new variants, I will explore every fucking possible pathway to get laid. I am so thankful I am in my own flat in London. Lockdown back in the Midlands where it is literally dead would have driven me insane. I will find a way to have sex regardless, no matter what.

10 LAYS IN 2022 BOYS. NOW IS THE TIME.

God dammit bro, I am quite stunned, I never thought I would get a compliment like this. God damn. Thank you so much, this means a lot to me.

I am just a humble dude trying to get a better life for myself, I want to be able to start a family and have a great woman to raise children with. I will find a way to achieve my dream bro, and I must be totally honest: the only reason I am making my life better is because other men helped me. Andy, Radical, The Bastard, the forum, the coaching group. I shout these guys out all the time. All these men are my brothers and they believed in me when I didn't believe in myself and I was broken into a million pieces with no clue how I will put myself back together again.

But somehow, I did. I lost 50lbs. I went from 0 dates in my whole life to 8. I moved out of my parents place and got myself a flat in Central London, I can see the god damn financial district from my living room windows. I am grinding like a fucking man possessed EVERY-GOD-DAMN-DAY, for one reason and one reason only: after all the insane shit I had to endure, there is NO WAY I will not succeed, there is NO WAY I will not be able to have my own family, there is NO WAY I will not get rich. I have paid the price in blood, sweat and tears for this, there is not the fucking time in the day to even describe the amount of work I have put into myself man.

This journey has been quite unbelievable man, from climbing out of the deepest, darkest dungeon of all time, to beginning to ascend the savage mountain with nothing but willpower alone. Truth is, the nightmare experiences haunted me so bad for 12 years, almost are becoming a blessing in disguise. It drove me to damn near the very limits of my sanity, many men would have gone totally insane trust me, and something did happen inside me at some stage where I pretty much decided no matter how fucked up I am, how dark and miserable my past has been, and how agonising the road ahead will be, I will break myself off to fix this person. I will die trying. Period.

While I have a LONG way to go, and trust me brother, I am not a guy who has it easy with women AT ALL, somehow, through a level of grinding that may seen damn near inhumane, I will achieve my goals for 2022. I truly have no idea how I will accomplish them, but I know I will put forth every ounce of effort and energy that is in my body and mind.

That much I can promise you.

She let me know outright she is a girl who you have to date for quite a while before anything gets physical. I know what I'm dealing with, and that's cool, I have goals to crush. End of.

Bring on my new pics on Thursday man!!! Hope they improve my profile a bit.

We have a lot of work to do boys, I will GRIND in the gym and build my body up better. I will book more professional shoots in like 3-4 months, which gives me time to looksmaxx, get shredded and put muscle on.

https://youtu.be/WpL-7KUbAJs

Accountability call, done. We were on the phone for about 2hrs so I had to miss a few of the above.

Notes: Drills were easy enough, did have some anxiety doing them tho! AA following the drills was truly stratospheric, felt all types of emotions, rage, absolute hatred, the lot. That’s how it goes. Kept practising letting to, over and over again, hour after hour. Went home, cooked dinner, and kept grinding.

Off to bed. Back tomorrow to continue the process. Driving home tomorrow night to avoid the motherload of traffic that will be Friday. I will stay with my family for a full week, and come back to London in 2022 to do it all again. Not approaching for a week will of course mean I'll be rusty again. Exposure therapy will be most of 2022 for me. JUST beating AA alone over the course of the year will be a big self improvement win for me.

Current Project Running Totals:
Cold Approaches: 56

THURS 23/12/2021

ACTIONS

(1) Cold Approach: 1hr AA Program Day 5 / 2hrs Approach (DONE, was out for 3hr30mins. 1hr of AA drills. Asked 5 women for the time in 27 mins, 10 mins faster than yesterday. Then went onwards and the volume dwindled. It took like 40 mins to ask 5 more women for the time, when you're supposed to do it faster. Hence, I will have to repeat this drill next time :) Thereafter, I went to a different location and walked around for 2hrs trying to approach, there were not many opportunities to be honest. I saw 2 girls I would have liked to approach, but bottled it. Ah well. Will keep improving)
(2) Gym / Core (DONE)

Others
(3) Work (DONE)
(4) Side Hustle: Learn copywriting / Do content creation (In Process)
(5) Stretch (In Process)

Notes: I really enjoyed the AA program today, it felt more like fun and healing my AA, rather than pushing into the pain like I usually do. I am happy with the way my pics turned out. I will update my online dating profiles and I hope they help me meet some great women. It will take some time to max out my looks potential. Must GRIND in the gym, get shredded abs, and then build up some solid ass muscle. I may consider a hair transplant in 6 months time if the dermapen has not helped much. 3-4 solid ass months in the gym smashing weights and cardio will improve my physique and help me big time. I will get another professional shoot done in March / April 2022. Again, I will see what happens with my hair up until June 2022, and if there's no progress, I'll go to Turkey and get a FUE transplant procedure. All this work should allow me to maximise my looks in 2022. Really will have to push hard as hell in the gym. I won't bother with steroids or anything like that. I know I can get there naturally.

I am going to hammer the rest of the day, and then jump in my car and drive home to see my parents for the holidays. I will spend a week with them and relax. I will then come back to London and fucking grind for the whole year to make myself a better man.

Haha! Between me and you, I am actually pretty serious about building a booty, since losing weight my jeans often slip off my ass, lol.

I have come back to the Midlands now boys! Gonna relax for a week with my parents, lol.

I will mess around with online dating and shoot content, grind in the gym, and otherwise better myself as a man through reading, hobbies, socialising, and enjoying life for a week.

Jan 2022 will be hustle mania and I can't wait. Let's see what we can do man.

BACK HUSTLIN

SUN
26/12/2021

ACTIONS
(1) Content: Shoot 5 videos & plan 10 tiktoks
(2) Copywriting: Learn and follow advise of my bro from the coaching group to start side hustle
(3) Read Letting Go
(4) Others: Breathwork, Light therapy, Cold thermogenesis

Notes: Can't believe the Aesthetics God is looking down upon us and guiding us once again. Zyzz has re-emerged on the internet now at a time when masculinity is in crisis and bitches have done lost their mind. The memes of him are so great and show there is great hope for young men out there who will pursue excellence in a culture of mediocrity. The videos are hilarious, women thirsting for attention on social media, and then in comes Zyzz, smashing fucking weights brah and throwing shapes at raves.

Excellence always beats degeneracy, it is the highest good we can attain and when we embody it, it has impact that can reshape the entire world. Consider how many people have been inspired by Dr Jordan Peterson or David Goggins to live a better life. These men went to war with their goals for 20 - 30 years, on their own, before anyone knew who they were!

Enjoy these bros

On Zyzz: When I was a fat boy powerlifter in 2010/2011, I would lurk on BB.com and witness the Aesthetics God Zyzz bless his hordes of followers with his world class antics and trolling. He definitely was exciting to watch and it was crazy how famous he got, guys in the club here in England would be doing Zyzz poses and yelling come at me brah, it was nuts! Seeing him again on YouTube made me really happy. I watched some videos from his brother, and they really got me emotional. Near tears.

"I would give both my arms, both my legs, and this amazing jaw just to have that beautiful person back in this world, even if it was just for 1 minute"

He said he lost the most incredible thing in his life, his brother, and it burns him up every single day. I have a brother too, he's 5 years younger than me, and this statement got me.....bad.....

In my years of very high anxiety, I became such a freak and weirdo, being tormented by my own mind, that I put so much strain on relationships with my mum, dad and brother. We were always so close and then my anxiety disorders drove me damn near insane. I repaired the relationships with my parents EASILY, but I am still working on getting closer to my brother again. I was always so close to him and he was the most important thing to me for probably the first 2 decades of my life. I hate that anxiety disorders drove me so crazy, and if I think about how they made me push the people I care about most away, that really will make me break down in misery. I cannot stand the thought.

This shit really is real life. When it is all said and done, the connections we have are everything, the love, the bonds. Without that, we are fucking nothing. People who are truly down for you are what matter.

I am better than I have been in fucking years man. I am making a come back in life. I will be successful, and I long for the day when I can just take care of the people who matter to me, give them guidance and counsel, bring them positive experiences and abundance, and live the rest of my days a champion.

The woman stuff I have to tell myself all the time that I will somehow figure out, because without that, there will be no family for MAC and I will also have let my parents down at that point. I can't live with that. I will have to figure it out. I will say, with my new pics, my online dating is different now. I always did horribly on Bumble, and then I changed the pics, and it started popping off. Couldn't believe it.

One step at a time isn't it boys. I will get fucking ripped and looksmaxxx like hell, work on beating AA, and grind on the dating apps all year.

Rambling because it helps me reassure myself. Thanks for listening.
