[365-CHALLENGE] THE THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS CHALLENGE !

Day 100/365 (+90)

 

Thank you so much bro.

 

right behind you. Tomorrow is Day One.
Actually ended a 181 day streak in December and I've had a rough time getting past two weeks or so. I begin again. Good to be here with others who understand my experience.

 

Emotionally tough day. I'm getting in touch with a lot of sadness that I didn't let my self feel . This is a great journey and I'm approaching 30 days. One day at a time

 

Day 16
Check in.

 

I found that during my year off from fapping I was able to let go of a lot of sadness. It’s all good in the end

 

Here is a summary of the 4Ds that I wrote in an earlier post:

1. Delay – Since cravings rise and fall like waves, if you can delay a relapse decision for 20 minutes you’ll generally find the cravings dissipate on their own.
2. Distract – Craving time passes more quickly when engaged in a distracting activity for a few minutes.
3. Deep breathing – Deep breathing exercises help you maintain calm and purpose when cravings hit, keeping you from making rash decisions.
4. Drink a glass of water – Drinking a glass of water relaxes you and sets your purpose. Imagine your cravings as like a runaway train gathering momentum to a disaster. Simple activities like taking a moment to drink a glass of water are like brakes that slow that train!

You can find a comprehensive explanation here. I think it was initially designed for drug and alcohol addiction but it very effective for porn/masturbation addiction from my short experience.

 

Thank you very much. It’s good to be back on this site. The first 10 or 20 days are always the most difficult for me. I don’t really get a groove on until about 30 days

 

You're welcome .
You can read them base on its numbers .
I already arranged them.
After reading ,It will surely makes you another person than you were before,
The new version who has higher power of thinking , understanding and deciding .

 

Dude, this kind of processing, it takes courage, because it for real hurts. But I feel it's essential for progress. Sometimes we have to feel that depth of our experience, so we can let the past go, and move forward. You're taking a bold step dealing with those feelings. Good work buddy.

The feeling of health produces health; the feeling of wealth produces wealth. How do you feel? 6. Imagination is your most powerful faculty. Imagine what is lovely and of good report. You are what you imagine yourself to be. 7. You avoid conflict between your conscious and subconscious in the sleepy state. Imagine the fulfillment of your desire over and over again prior to sleep. Sleep in peace and wake in joy.
Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

I shall grow more good-humored. Joy, happiness, and cheerfulness are now becoming my normal states of mind. Every day I am becoming more and more lovable and understanding. I am now becoming the center of cheer and good will to all those about me, infecting them with good humor. This happy, joyous, and cheerful mood is now becoming my normal, natural state of mind. I am grateful.” •

You are as young as you think you are. You are as strong as you think you are. You are as useful as you think you are. You are as young as your thoughts.

Never finish a negative statement. Reverse it immediately and wonders will happen in your life.

SUMMARY OF YOUR AIDS TO HEALTH • Find out what it is that heals you. Realize that correct directions given to your subconscious mind will heal your mind and body. • Develop a definite plan for turning over your requests or desires to your subconscious mind. • Imagine the end desired and feel its reality. Follow it through, and you will get definite results. • Decide what belief is. Know that belief is a thought in your mind and that what you think you create. • It is foolish to believe in sickness or in anything that will hurt or harm you. Believe in perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth, and divine guidance. • Great and noble thoughts upon which you habitually dwell become great acts. • Apply the power of prayer therapy in your life. Choose a certain plan, idea, or mental picture. Unite mentally and emotionally with that idea. As you remain faithful to your mental attitude, your prayer will be answered. • Always remember, if you really want the power to heal, you can have it through faith, which means a knowledge of the working of your conscious and subconscious mind. Faith comes with understanding. • Blind faith means that a person may get results in healing without any scientific understanding of the powers and forces involved. • Learn to pray for your loved ones who may be ill. Quiet your mind. Your thoughts of health, vitality, and perfection operating through the one universal subjective mind will be felt and made manifest in the mind of your loved

As a man thinks, feels, and believes, so is the condition of his mind, body, and circumstances.
Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

Age is not the flight of years; it is the dawn of wisdom in the mind of man.
Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

If you say, “There is no way out; I am lost; there is no way out of this dilemma; I am stymied and blocked,” you will get no answer or response from your subconscious mind. If you want the subconscious to work for you, give it the right request, and attain its co-operation. It is always working for you. It is controlling your heart beat this minute and also your breathing. It heals a cut on your finger, and its tendency is lifeward, forever seeking to take care of you and preserve you. Your subconscious has a mind of its own, but it accepts your patterns of thought and imagery.
Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind takes your fears as a request, proceeds to manifest them, and brings them into your experience.
Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

A hateful or resentful thought is a mental poison. Do not think ill of another for to do so is to think ill of yourself. You are the only thinker in your universe, and your thoughts are creative. 3.

Its great that you have developed to a point where you dont need the counter anymore.
I am actually really looking forward to a time where I have recovered so much that I dont need the support here anymore, and have no concept of "which day I am on" anymore.

 

I wasn't aware there was an audio book so thank you for telling me. I just got the audiobook in my hands so I will listen to it when I find time. Right now I am learning german through audiobooks and I still have some 15 hours left or so

Today I have something interesting to share

I am doing several other challenges for the moment but for this post the two interesting ones are these two:

"The 180 day challenge: extreme mode" with a bunch of additional rules including:
* No dreams (that I remember) about watching porn when I’m asleep.

"The habit changer challenge" with one of the habits this one:
"After I get a thought in my head that I don't want there, I will extend my peripheral thoughts by taking in external impressions from the environment."

This means that whenever I think about something that I don't want to think about I am scanning the place where I'm in to get some input just in order to switch thoughts asap.

"No dreams (that I remember) about watching porn when I’m asleep" means that if I realise I have watched porn in my dream I simply have to reset my counter in that challenge.

The switching of thoughts has helped me very much in cleansing my head from porn and the habit has gotten stable by now as I practise it daily.

Now to the interesting stuff: This night I dreamt about I was going to watch porn. I got like one picture in my head and what happened afterwards was remarkable: I switched thoughts immediately! So the practise of switching thoughts asap when I'm awake affected my dreams completely: I didn't dream about porn. I changed my dream directly when that picture came up.

Woho!
