    Hello, thank you for your input. It is not a question of validity. Of course any feeling is valid. And there is a difference between the surpressing of feelings and the transformation of them.

    A feeling is not wrong or right. Good or bad .

    A feeling is an embodied emotion. And we have the chance to transform them into something that brings us into inlignement with ourselves.

    It is an active choice based on my underlying belief systems and needs.

    The act of transformation will liberate us from the act of negative judgement by accepting the current feeling and working with my inner beliefs to find my way a higher state of being.

    Depression for example. Do you want to say it is ok to sit in depression and not find your way to a higher state? Depression comes to one's life for a reason and it is the person's choice to work with it.

  2. If you don't accept you have it and you don't allow yourself to feel it fully you cannot transform it IMHO. A few solid years in therapy. A caterpillar does not just grow wings, one life dies to create another i.e. a butterfly. You cannot just go on and transform everything u don't like about yourself. First you embrace and love everything about things you don't like about yourself and then you accept, let go and transform. If you sit in depression and then work with it to transform it without accepting and embracing your inner demons you're doomed. Bc they are you. They always were.

    I totally agree with you @fleurette on "accepting". I think we both talk about the same way to deal with it. The main difference is, I guess, that my focus is directed towards the transformation and that I do not need to feel it for as long as you might think would be needed.

    To put it into other words. I am not denying the feeling, nor the reasons. I do accept it 100%, it is real.

    But the question is for how long? Feelings are generated out of experience, which means it is an embodied memory of the past. While the now defines my future, it is important to find the beliefs in these memories to transform them. Which will result in a higher emotion (feeling) and a brighter future.

  7. sunday has come and it's time for a new recap:
    goal: enjoy more my time off
    I confess @Snakeloa that I cheated a bit in choosing the week for this so that this challenge had my birthday in it
    but I didn't enjoyed only yesterday
    I went to a concert on tuesday
    Had fun after the gym with a friend on wednsday
    Had a great talk with a friend on thursday

    So I proudly say that also this week went really good and I can say I completed the challenge
    but new week means new challenge and I needed this since I feel I am losing the grip I had on this
    this week I'll be really serious about meditation

    P.s: I read about your relapse and I am sorry since you had a great streak but I also read that you're ready to go on again so great it means that you are really a reliable person on this :)

    @fg4795 Thank you for your kind words. Please do not be sorry. I am totally fine. I did not relapse.

    I did this on purpose, for myself. I was not weak at this moment. The streak is only broken on masturbation. Porn ist still fine. I am even thinking about resetting my counter back to day 228 with P only as I feel in integrity.

    Good to hear your week went very well. And I believe that it was not cheating. It was celebrating your life. You choose the goals.

    My week went ok. I did not achieve my goal of 100%. I was pretty organised but I missed 1 very important meeting. I will, therefore, try again at a later date.

    This week is about: Set priorities. And I start preparing this today, that i will have a prepared start into that upcomming week.

    Sunday Check In. This Week No. 8 " Set Priorities" went pretty ok. I want to do another one with the same goal as i have to be more accountable to this each singele day and not only the first half of the week.

    So another week with "set priorities"
     
  10. well it's time for my checking in as well
    I improved my meditation time and quality but not as I would like to so I decided that I move to the next week but if I will not keep on improving also my meditation in these weeks that will come I will repeat this week
    so it's time for next week and the next challenge:
    this week it's time to start volunteer :)

  14. Well sunday recap.
    I've been Santa and it has been wonderful.
    I joined officialy the blood donation association of volunteer( I was already a blood donor but now I am also in the activity of the team) and I've decided that I want to join the team and also become a leading figure of them(my town is about 20000 people so it will be a great responsibility.
    I also proudly say that I've meditating more and more these days
    I needed a good momentum because now the problem is here
    the most importan week
    my greatest weekness
    this week I will work on my relationship. I've been good because it has been always about me doing things now I've to know how to really deal with others

    My week went very well. I did manage to get everything done before I took some days off for a absolute great New Warrior Weekend. 4 days of being in service to initiate 35 men. I am so filled up with pride and gratitude.

    So next week (from today on) is about:Recognise dependencies and let go of them

  17. well it is going well but it hurts a lot.
    but a bad truth is better than a beatiful lie

    What my friend is hurting exactly ?
     
  19. Well the challenge this week is be realistic about relationship.
    to understand you need a bit of my background. I am 24 and I always had some problem with anxiety and my introversion, because of these I used P to fly away from my problem in a world where everything was under my control and so on. So in my relationship, especially with girls, I've never been good in understanding them and most important how they see me so only now I am able to recognize that most of them wasn't good relationship for me and that they made me believe things that wasn't real and neither possible. Now I am reflecting on all the relationship that have this problem, and it hurts to discover it.

  20. sunday check.
    It went well. Not in the direction that I dreamed of but as already said the main goal was to be realistic. And that's it. I reflected and discussed with the interested people and now I've seen well all the truth. Unpleasant but at least the truth.
    Now I know and I can act knowing at least. Sorry if I am so short but as I said sometimes truth hurts.

    anyway new week:
    Improve relationship with family on which I am working from at least 1 year but this time I want to take more action.
