Day 65

 

Day 4: I've been trying to get up earlier each day this week, in order to create a better sleeping pattern. Extremely tired this morning and dealing with a bit of brain fog. Need to stay vigilant though! Cannot let any urges come up on and overtake me!

 

Day 6

I will be Urah-Kai as of 5pm this evening @RiseToGreatness.

While I am a long way from being a Hobbit again, I have once again progressed to the next level, and I am very happy. I got up at 5:30AM today, so I am on a record of getting up early (2 days ) but I am doing well. I end my screen time about half an hour before bed, and I am able to sleep pretty soundly. Last night was even easier falling asleep than the night before, and I am hoping if I stay awake all day today, I will be able to keep sleeping well, avoiding PMO, and getting up at 6AM. They say you should get 8 hours of sleep every night, but they are wrong. You should get either 7 and a half or 9 hours of sleep every night (or a minimum of 6 hours at night, because those are the intervals for 4 to 6 REM cycles each night.

I got about 5 REM cycles last night, so when I woke up at 5:30, I knew there was no point going back to bed because I would then wake up really exhausted with my alarm. I listened to a podcast before and during breakfast this morning (with a shower in between starting the podcast and finishing it. I plan to clean my cats litter boxes Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and I think that that is the perfect time to listen to a podcast.

My parents are out of town today, which is usually a time that I am particularly vulnerable to PMO, but I have kept clean the last two times they went out of town, so I know I can beat the forces of PMO. I know I can resist porn, I have been doing it for over a month now, but I will also need to avoid masturbating, and gently easing my mind away from thoughts of masturbation because when I am alone, and thinking about masturbating, I start thinking about porn as well.

I now know that I was in denial last Thursday about whether I was masturbating in the shower or not, but now I have accepted that I went on a two day, two time binge of masturbation last week. Sometimes it takes a few days to accept something I feel ashamed of. I no longer feel ashamed, just motivated.

I know this is a long post, but I wanted to also mention that I made and printed out a weekly schedule so that as I accomplish daily tasks, I can cross off the hour and keep going feeling more accomplished.

Lastly, I know that I have never, and almost certainly will never meet and of you, but I just have to say I love you guys and the NoFap community along with this challenge which has motivated me to do better.

Best,
