THE SUPER SAIYAN CHALLENGE! What is your Power Level?! (RANKS ARE BACK, GET YOURS NOW!

Day 2

 

Love this metric of mood and energy. Great awareness!

 

I slacked on my vow that was made at the beginning of the month and I woke up this morning thinking about how that is out of integrity for me. I am taking this moment to recommit to said vow and reflect on it daily so that I remember it when I am feeling weak

 

Day 19.... Elite warrior...... Last time I was serious about NoFap around an year and half back while I wanted to switch to Data science.... When I attained that, I kind of left NoFap, I'm back again and hope that I make it to say 100 atleast this time.

 

Checking in Saiyan's!

161 Days Free of PMO

Made it through the busy brothers, time to rest and unplug from work. Urges were a bit stronger today.

Keep training!

@stronaut2021 Take care of yourself, hope the covid leaves you soon.

@Person_Need_To_Change Rise again Saiyan!

@DRAGON_ Congrats on your promotion brother, moderator team is lucky to have you. Glad you are back as well and have achieved the clarity you were seeking.

@Ainz Welcome back!

@Toni7 I understand brother, work also keeps me tied up , busy and stressed. I think the lesson for us is to teach ourselves to disconnect when we are done and pursue other things. You already are! My condolences, I'm sorry for your loss. You are just in a darker place at the moment. Rekindle what sparked you to first quit, get in touch with it again. Add more reasons to your why if you can. Just don't give up.

 

6 days today

 

Do anything, some exercise, just sit and make concentric circles on paper, absolutely anything but do it on a fixed time everyday. That will work as an anchor for your life. I personally just sit and feel my breathing and try to take same amount of breath with both nostrils at 12:00 am daily.

 

161 is a nice feat. Keep it up.

 

Day 3

 

(悟) Day 0 - Low-Class Warrior


Almost made it a day. Sat on bumble for hours swiping mindlessly. Eventually when I got tired of that game I went back to looking up old familiar sites. They’re mostly patched up now so all the ones I was repeatedly going back to are restricted. Then I remembered a certain social app (I’ll leave it unnamed to protect the innocent). It can get around the image blockers without going to a website so that’s what I did. Next thing I was watching a genre that goes against how I identify or what I want out of life. I always feel regret afterwards no matter how good it feels for the few seconds it lasts.

 

Day 283!

 

Shit man... tough to read this. Can I be a 100% honest here about trying to restrict yourself with technology? In my opinion it's not a longlasting productive way and misses the actual point of mental growth we're trying to acchieve: I've tried it a few times as well and I read many stories like yours and I did the same: you somehow see it as a challenge and if you are able to 'hack' your own restrictions you are allowed to reap the reward (watching P).

I believe this is not the optimal mean to reach our goal of a porn free, brain healthy balanced life. I have stopped trying to block my access via technology but just starting educating / motivating myself regarding the subject: I decided to avoid triggers (like scrolling through dating apps that makes me feel miserable, visiting IG or other website where randomly (semi) nude pictures can be posted, etc.). And I have slowly worked on introcuding healthy(ier) habits: eat healthy, have a stead sleep regimen, restricting other dopamine driving stimuli (gaming,movies,series,social media), going for walks, go dancing, meet up with friends more, to the gym instead of binge watching NetFlix, hanging around on social media, etc.

I have zero technological restrictions, but I have never been less inclined to visit those websites than before. I know I can, but I decide not to. This makes me stronger and builds imo really character than to restrain yourself to 'protect' like you would use a gate in the stairs to protect an infant.

 

Day 20
Mood 8/10 & Energy 8/10

I've had a really refreshing sleep last night. Woke up fit, happy and productive with zero brainfog and no lethargic / depressed feelings. I am currently studying / working (on my personal development) and enjoying my life much much more than I was able to the last 2 months in which I relapsed twice (with about 2-3 weeks apart). Altough I am not restricting my MO like most are doing here, the last time I MO-ed was almost a week ago now. I know I can, but I just don't need to and haven't had the inclination to do it. But I know now that if I want, I can easily do it without any external stimuli required. I feel I am getting back to be really in control of myself instead of being a slave and victim of my moods and cravings. Urges are 2/10 but I now know I can get aroused by a real woman or just MO without P stimuli and really feel something which I remember I hardly could during my last years of heavy porn use.

To be honest it is not only good news: yesterday I woke up at 5:30 after 6,5 hours of sleep and felt a bit grumpy / groggy with a light headache. But still had a great & productive day (went to the gym, cleaned the house, visited a good friend and had great and inspiring conversations and ended the day with one of the best home made pasta meals I can think of)

Let's see if this upward movement continues.

 

check in.

 

Day 238

 

Checking in Saiyan's!

162 Days Free of PMO

Plan for the day, meditation, exposure, workout and rest. I already undertook part of the exposure and it was successful. I did not sleep the best last night however and urges were present. More so to MO, than to watch porn.

My mood has been okay, i've also still been talking to this girl, I mentioned a few weeks back. I like talking to her, so we'll see where it goes. I'm still reserved about pursuing due to multiple constraints and desires in self-development. We will see. Work has been stressful, but I am getting good feedback from others. I'm going to be off for vacation for a little while, it will be nice to disconnect for a bit.

Keep training!

@Ainz Thank you brother!

 

Yes I did and I am quite good in it now. Everyone appreciates my work. And yes it has been long, good to see you. But I do want to know what else and how much I can get from NoFap.

 

I completely blew it after 21 days. Well, back to being a low-class warrior.
