  3. Day 12

    Urges: 2/5
    Thoughts: 3/5

    Basically had another lazy day. After the way I've been feeling for the last few days, I can't help but wonder if maybe I'm already going through a flatline. If so, I wish it ends soon, I hate feeling lazy.

    Day 3

    Been reading a lot of reboot material the last couple days. I was updating my daily progress in my journal, but I get no traffic there so I'll come back here.

    Feeling fairly low all the sudden... I hope this passes quickly. I feel weirdly hollow.

    Hey Brother! The way I incorporated cold baths into my routine is I take them during my morning runs. I run to a river nearby, 3.5km away, take quick bath there, and then run back the same way. What I like about this is you get warm as you run, so before you enter the water your body is warmed up and after you get out feeling cold the run back warms you up and you feel just amazing. I read somewhere that you should not take cold baths or showers after you work out if your aim is to build muscle mass.

    Checking in Fellowship Friends!

    124 Days Free of PMO.

    Feeling a bit sore from yesterdays workout/chores but I still intend to have a good workout today before work. I'll likely spend at least 15 to 20 mins meditating today.

    Apart from that, things are good overall. I lead a successful training session for my peers at work and I still am waiting on something that could be a game changer for me. I've also been talking to this girl for the last little bit, seems interesting but I'm uncertain whether I want to give up my time to pursue things further, as there is still so much I would like to achieve at the moment.

    Remember brothers, along the journey you will have bad days, on those days do not fight the emotions you are feeling. Look directly at them, make peace with them. The more you resist them, the longer they will linger, the more energy you will lose on resistance and the less energy you will put in on building the new you. When a sexual urge comes forward, do not engage with the thought, rather describe the sensations you are feeling in your body. Acknowledge it, watch it drift like a cloud and remember that nothing is permanent.

    Stay Strong!

    @Niklaus The lord of Owls Oh, I did not know. Well, it boosts norepinephrine levels by a ridiculous amount. I know people use it for recovery, rather than pre-workout. I would still check out Dr Andrew Huberman, Dr Rhonda Patrick and Wim Hof regarding cold exposure. They also talk about the Sauna and how heat stress can be beneficial.

    @Kairose Yes, try your best brother. And do not avoid places/people for those purposes. You are far in your journey, learn to just acknowledge what you see without need of engagement. Keep paving the path forward for us.

    @til_im_free Welcome back! Do not worry, you will build from here and soon tap into your prior experience on your streaks. Make sure to check the front page, as there have been some updates to the challenge rankings.

    @Caged_bird Welcome back! Make the days count and you will soar higher than you have before. Make sure to check the front page, as there have been some updates to the challenge rankings.

    @ModernTeen Brahmachari Analyze what lead you to relapse brother, write it out and keep a dedicated journal strictly for this. Come up with a different plan. Remember to be active in this analysis, it will help you stomp out various triggers. Rise again!

    @Baki Hanma Congrats on reaching 200 days!
