NO DAYDREAMING CHALLENGE

Maladaptive daydreaming can be a problem that affects many but little know that they are affected.

This challenge is about keeping your no daydreaming streak as long as you can!

Daydreaming can be triggered by many stimuli like music, boredom, sadness or uncertainty. Daydreaming can even be the reason or a result of porn addiction, so it will be beneficiary if we get rid of it.

Here you can talk about your streak, how are you doing it and what made you fail.

First post here.

Edit: Added Maladaptive to avoid confusion.

 

I didn't say: "No thinking challenge".

I mean by daydreaming as fantasy, that moment when you detach yourself of reality and imagine a "perfect scenario".
I daydream with music. I usually imagine an action movie. Those feels and that adrenaline of living that imposible moment can be quite addicting.

In the first post i explained what is Maladaptive daydreaming.

 

What i would say from the top of my head is when you relax your mind and go into a stream on thoughts that detaches you from external tasks, Daydreaming is when you detach your consciousness from external tasks. Of cource, it can be used for good as a way of focusing yourself on thoughts and coming up with something creative, interesting or a way to get rid of boredom.

But, it can get addicting. I've felt that is a little bit similar that fapping. Of course, fapping being a stronger in dopamine, has a greater danger and a greater withdrawal.
Daydreaming, or Maladaptive daydreaming (I just think daydreaming at all should be avoided, just act and think about what you're going to do and how to archive it. but don't get stuck in the result.) I use it the same way I used fapping.

I don't feel good about something, Feel uncomfortable. feel urges. So to avoid these feelings i go through porn and imagine myself in an scenario where those problems don't exist and are meaningless. And end up sadder because instead of solving my problems i'm just avoiding thinking about them.

Daydreaming may cause less physical and emotional harm, but it is able to take a lot of your time.

It can also make you waste a lot more time making you want to watch more entertaiment.

Finally your brain gets wired to want entertainment 24/7 making tasks considerably harder.

I already solved fapping by knowing how I feel and what I want. Before I used to fap and daydream all day. but now that the urges are gone, now daydreaming becomes the next problem to tackle.

I think daydreaming is the second most important problem that comes with fapping. I also thing that one should tackle problems one at a time like this.

1. Drugs (If you have that kind of problem take care of it ASAP)
2. Fapping or any other disruptive and physically and mentally harmful behaviour
3. Time wasting behaviour

I don't think that you should try to fix two or more problems at a time, because too much pressure for change can make you crack and go back to the start. I used to try to stop fapping, daydreaming, stop gaming and watching youtube all day.

Big mistake. I got frustrated and my problems got worse.

Only when I decided to know myself and my feelings I stopped fapping.

I used fapping to stop the feels, now. I embrace my feelings.
