Hey bromor, here I had found the article: https://www.researchgate.net/public...hower_as_a_potential_treatment_for_depression Yesterday I noticed that before a week Lifehack mentioned this article too: https://www.lifehack.org/375978/cold-shower-powerful-way-to-improve-your-mental-health Congratulations on your big consistency my friend. I hope that the benefits will stay and become more and more spectacular!!
Congrats @bromor ,u r doing great man!!! You are an inspiration to us, ur feat @NoPMO and posting videos that keep us moving.
You're awesome! I like the way you think ("10% there"). I am like you- doing the 90 day challenge but want to convert to 180, 365, then lifer. I look forward to your posts. Now I want a donut though....
Hey guys- checking in. Day 14/90- no PM Day 10/90- no alcohol. 38 day streak of learning French on Duolingo Several people have asked me about the alcohol goal. For the most part it is unrelated to the PM goal. Its just that it's good to take a break from it for awhile. It is part of my whole newfound sense of self-control that I am trying to cultivate. Keep up the good work guys! You are all an inspiration and I appreciate you all! We can do this and all become better men!
Day 26! It was so though in the beginning and now it feels like the days are flying by. I started changing the decorations in my apartment that I truly didn't like but felt too tiresome to change. Started learning portuguese on duolingo again. Going for hikes/biketours at the weekend instead of sitting at home.
Day 38/90 No PM Day 488 at attempting this challenge Day 175 weight training (M, W, F) Lifestyle: No caffeine or alcohol and reduced desserts
44/90 One more day to the halfway point. I'm having a hard time with the feelings of regret right now. Looking back at my younger self 15 years ago and wishing I could go back and change so many things. So many opportunities missed, so much life I could have lived. I know it's not smart to wallow in these types of thoughts. I know I can't change the past, but the grief and mourning is real. I might just need to allow myself to feel the sadness for what's lost. Eventually I must land in the place where I take ownership of the now, LET GO of the past and move on. I guess what I'm saying is that LETTING GO of the past is not the same as ignoring it. In fact, you CAN'T let go of the past as long as you ignore it. To truly let go you must also face the reality of what's happened. You have to face and feel the pain of loss, mistakes, missed opportunities....these things must be acknowledged with honesty. Then you can CHOOSE to forgive yourself. Then you can CHOOSE to let go of what's happened. Then you can CHOOSE to turn towards your future and invest yourself fully in the present moment. I'm going to go face some pain.
100% agree with you here. I realized during this reboot attempt that allow my brain to indulge in sexual fantasy affects me exactly the same way as porn. Doing that made nofap INSANELY difficult. Using techniques to keep my mind rooted in the present moment and my actual, physical surroundings has really helped me this time through. Also, I'm avoiding Facebook and all social media like the plague. It's full of stuff that will trigger urges for me. Spend enough time scrolling and it's only a matter of time until you walk into a trap. Good lessons learned!
I've been doing cold showers for over a year now and I havent been sick since. I always feel good afterward. It's good to start the day with a little victory as it can set the tone for the whole day. And a cold shower first thing in the morning is definitely a victory. Keep it up. It leads to more. Success in one area Carrie's over I believe to others.
Day 7..... day 6 (yesterday) I think I've ruined my rebooting process. Had a quickie with the person I know during her 30 min break. No handjob whatsoever. I have a question, since I had sex yesterday does that mean the reboot starts over?
Yes, Facebook and all that is probably my other main problem that I still have at the moment. I simply cannot straight out avoid them, since I work in promotion for a festival and I have to use those all throughout the day. I am using the SafeMode on Youtube and I try to avoid scrolling the timeline, but there's still moments that I find myself clicking on something that seems sexy at a glance. Even though I never get to actual porn on media like this, it still doesn't seem right to me that I cannot control every click that I make.
