    First of all, from someone who has relapsed recently, just DONT.

    Although you may think it's a good idea now, you're gonna wish so bad that you didn't do it, and you're gonna want that streak back. Remember this: No relapse is a good relapse.There's never a good excuse to relapse. never a good time to relapse. So never do it.

    Keep busy, remember why your here, and just think: if you're not feeling too good about life right now, think how much worse it would seem back at day 0. You've come so far, it's just not worth relapsing now.

    I've heard that positive goals, envisioning who you will be, want to be, etc are more motivational than negative goals (consequences, who you don't want to be). Pick a target for you and focus on who you will be. You will be better in every way if you stay away from PMO. You're brain is hooked on the dope from PMO-so of course it feels sad. You are training it where to go for good feelings when PMO isn't available. Exercise or try to help someone, especially anonymously. Those will make you "feel" better. Good luck.

    i can understand you, sometimes isn't so easy to remember your motivation.
    I can suggest you to try to remember them, to think about it carefully. It may happen that, even though you know what are your motivations, you don't really feel them anymore. Don't be scared, it is a normal reaction considering the addictive side of PMO.
    So, or you are able to get your satisfaction in another ways or you have to take back your motivation. You can think of having a goal for yourself, or having a representation of your motivation, i don't know for example a bracelet that is symbolic for you, very simply.
    First of all you have to be conscious that your brain is trying to fool you. And then you have to be stronger to ignore the urges. Don't make mistakes: trying to resist to an urge by continously thinking about it and showing yourself that you can come as much close to it and then resist is the most stupid thing you can do.
    You should try to be always tired, to find always new ways to satisfy your soul and mind before your body, meet with people who can share your problems and help you overcome them and forget completely about what PMO is. That is the reboot meaning.
    If also this doesn't work, just think to be a little fly who comes in your room and sees you while you are watching porn movies. Look carefully at this image. It sucks, right?
    Do you seriously want to let go your precious 56 days streak?
    Oh and remember that the word pornography means "writing about prostitutes" so you can easily understand it isn't a noble thing. Could you imagine yourself going with prostitutes?
    Don't you find it an animal stuff?
    don't you want more for yourself?

    Thank you for the reply. 56 days of no Porn is amazing to me but i masturbated twice during this streak. My main goal was to not PMO and the two mistakes i made make me feel bad. Its feels like i havent achieved what i wanted in my NoFap journey and thats why i have no motivation.

    I know what you feel it's very hard but try to think about the final goal and live it for moments than start make your self-busy anytime you want to do it do something else

    Yes, you did do masturbation. HOWEVER, it sounds like you remained off the porn. And that is priority number one. That in itself is amazing, so congratulate yourself for that one. You have shifted your mind and body in the direction away from digital stimulants. Don't give up! Remember that even if you masturbated a couple times, you made a ton of progress in all those days of not masturbating, and especially porn.

    Yes, if your goal was no porn you are doing good, if you masturbated not thinking to porn. If you felt bad after it, then you have to stop that also.

    Maybe it isn't just that, I don't think I am here just because I want to stop pmo. I am gere because I wanted a new life, I don't want to lose my tims anymore in front of a screen jerking off, I want a new life, full of people and experiences, and hobbies, and passion and this forum helps me getting the right habits to develope the man I want to become. It isn't just PMo. It only starts from that.
