Come back with your shield or on it Spartan. You have not lost until you quit. Be proud of your fighting spirit. Many people quit instead of facing the failure that stands between them and success. Continue the fight!
Remember these 3 things, INTROSPECTION- the source of this behavior. It can be boredom, loneliness, childhood trauma. You need to find it RECONDITIONING - What tactics or mindset you should have to break free of this behavior. you need to understand why you are doing this and find the motivation which you should link with introspection. DEFENSIVE ACTION - What firewalls you need to build in order to break free. We know sometimes we just cannot control ourselves, that is why we need to build a defense mechanism to overcome that particular urge be it cold showers, going outside, letting your room's door open. etc in my case, I have installed porn blocker app to prevent and remind myself if I have the urge to do it. Good luck to all of you, I am doing my best too this time.
Check in Day 52 Hello Spartans, numbers can be a mind game. As the number of days grows, I sometimes start to feel pressure and panic, doubts about how far I can go. I think this is one of those mind tricks. Pushing me into fear and doubt. Obsessing about a number instead of being focused on what I’m doing today to be disciplined. To have ownership over my life. My thoughts. My behaviours. To fight the only battle I can fight today, which is, today. I cannot fight tomorrow’s battle today. Or next week’s. Or next month’s. I cannot win Day 100 today. And to try to fight those battles is a form of weakness and escapism. A distraction from what I am facing here and now. Today. I cannot do anything in the future. It does not exist. I can only do something in the present. Today. When I shift my mindset this way I am immediately empowered. The fear and anxiety goes away. I become present to this moment. And I take action. Action is our way to freedom and glory. Stay Strong Spartans!!!
Almost on day 8. Feeling like a bag of garbage. I'll work on points 1 and 2. For defensive action I'm using the *** app now so that a friend would have to approve it in order so that I can watch porn on my phone.
I experienced also an increase in nightmares, actually quite a lot during reboot. So this is a more common issue by fapstronauts?
I had the nightmares during my last couple of streaks so it can't be a coincidence, all were at about this point as well
