before you start your reboot

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Jan 4, 2019.

  1. We all want to get better and rid ourselves of our demons, but not so fast. Before you start you need to prepare a little bit, before you can begin you need to get your head in the right place, if you go into a reboot with any doubt or hesitation you WILL fail, it would be like running a marathon with a cracked ankle, guess what, when you start running you will eventually end up breaking it, disqualifying you from the race. So let me give you some ways to prepare you for the long journey ahead.

    1. find out what you want and what you dont want, what in your life needs to go and what do you want for the future?.
    2. do not go into a reboot with doubt, spend a day pumping yourself up, practice self praising mantras, tell yourself that you no longer want these bad things in your life and that you are ready for change, tell yourself you are as worthy of being happy as much as anyone else, do NOT go into a reboot with a self defeated attitude and mindset, that will only give way to failure, and most important thing of all is believe what you are saying, unless you believe it you will not be able to make it reality.
    3. no junk food all day, a healthy body is a happy one, when your mind is strong from essential nutrients, your depression will drop a ton, and you will be able to get in a good mindset fast, drink lots of green tea, when i drink it all my depression goes away almost instantly, use moments like that to really hype yourself up, combine it with mindful meditation and you will have a recipe for success.
    4. throw away any temptation, if you keep things around that trigger you than you will end up failing, its like a heroine addict keeping some in the house when hes trying to get clean, dont be stupid guys, unless you throw it out you will never be able to prove to yourself that you can change, because lets be honest if you dont throw it out than you are not truly ready to let go.
    5. forgive yourself, you might not be able to get all of the regrets and depression out right away, but this is when you need to start, the reboot will not do this for you, it is something that goes with the reboot. Lets face it, if we never learn to forgive ourselves than we will forever be stuck in a loop of self pity and depression, this is something that will get better over time, i have issues with this myself, but i realized you cant change the past, only move foward to a happy future, only when you learn to accept yourself and the past, will you be able to overcome this.
    6. make a list of things you will start doing, you need to have a plan in advance so that you can start it right away, make a list of daily tasks that you must complete, do 5 simple ones to start, it can range from hobbies to cleaning, to walk in nature.

    I will add more later to this list, or mabie revise it some, i am superrrrr tired right now.

    The first point is the core, it really works for me. I just keep connecting to what I need in my life. What am fighting for, it just gives me continous motivation
