Hello, I would like to ask, how do you keep on this path? I find that I have very good thoughts at first, but some time after, I fall off and get crowded. Is there any way to have a reminder? I shaved my head and I'm thinking of getting an amulet

Sorry. What do mean this path and reminder? Shaved head and mullet?

Hi my friend! I'd suggest spending time with the Dhamma: listening to talks, reading books on the topic. Also, meditation

I agree with @pancabalani, find ways to study and practice Dhamma every day, if you don’t already. Do what’s manageable and sustainable. Creating time and making daily meditation a priority, that has been most helpful for me. Contemplating the unattractive parts of the body (asubha practice) has been beneficial, as well, especially when there’s a lot of lust. Helping others, is helpful to ourselves! Taking it a day at a time, doing a little Dhamma reading each day, meditating each day, taking on the five precepts...these are all things that have been super helpful in my life. Good luck!

Also, bear in mind that Buddhist practice is a gradual path - there will be ups and downs. Reflect on how you've changed as a person having practiced (or followed NoFap) for a year. Are you more or less kind/compassionate/peaceful? If you see no change in your fundamental outlook after a year, reassess your approach to spiritual/personal growth and ask a spiritual friend or guide.

I have began to train, I am learning thai and buddhist history, It's gone well, I'm meditating 10 minutes every morning. I want to bring the eightfold path and the five precepts into all my life, I feel satisfied with how it's going, at the very least. Thank you!
