I know its only been 1 week but i feel good about it. In this week i've had urges but I've resisted them with calm mind and checking out Nofap success stories. Thank you guys because reading your success stories really helps me and motivates me. I had a strong urge today. So strong that my mind even tricked me to turn off restricted mode on YouTube, then i begun searching for psubs, not going in detail but, after 2mins i realized, if i do this then what's it worth? The 1 week of no PMO, the motivation which you guys give me. Damn flipped my phone on the bed, took a deep breath cleared the history and again turned on restricted mode. Iam safe now. Guys can you give me some suggestions how to control or break through urges? It would be really appreciated.
Try to be in the present moment. Every second know what's around you..feel the air..hear the sounds..observe the colours around you.. Like this being in present moment will not let p take over you. It takes time to stay in the present. With practice it will become automatic. Then you have control over yourself and urges. And try to use your phone to minimum. Try to get dopamine from work or creative activities rather than YouTube or any sit and easy to get dopamine activities. All the best for your streak. Cheers.
That's exactly what I'm realizing lately. It's not worth anything, just time lost that you can't get back. For instant if you want to talk to a family member and see how they're doing or if you want time to just enjoy your day and get out side.
Thank you. Actually its all because of you guys and i know it, because i have tried nofap before and relapsed evertime. Even though its been a week i can feel something is different this time. Its all because of the motivation from the community!
