Anxiety

I don't know if you're a Christian or not but the word of God helps, whether it's reading scripture or listening to preachers that I find inspirational.
The word of God is light, things such as anxiety, fear, doubt, hate are of darkness so I like to fill my spirit with God's light to get rid of the things of darkness. Similarly when you enter a dark room, you would normally turn on the light to get rid of the dark.

 

ive had anxiety since I was 16, now 31 and still havent figured out how to deal with it. Its best to avoid it. Dont do drugs, dont watch porn, dont keep thinking about the past or the future. Its really when your mindset changes that anxiety starts to dissipate.

 

I basically have to now. Its really just a mindset change for me. If you have a fixed mindset you will relapse because you don't see the point of NoFap. A growth mindset sees the benefits and keep your streak going. This has been my best year of NoFap for sure.

 

Haven't had one since. I get horny but I never think about porn. Read up on fixed vs growth mindsets. I think a lot of relapses is cause people stay in that fixed mindset.

 

i'm a person who have anxiety..the root cause of anxiety is "over thinking"..if we can stop this over consciousness, we can easily handle anxieties.."mindfulness and meditation" are the best techniques to cope with anxiety

 

to avoid overthinking, you should live in present..for that you should practice mindfulness and meditation..i will explain about mindfulness through an example..we all do brushing our tooth everyday..since it's a habit, we can do it without focusing on it..means we may be thinking about ourselves while brushing..but if we focus on brushing our tooth by being in the present,then we will have no time to unnecessarily think..basically mindfulness is "being in present and focus on the work you do"...this mindfulness can not only reduce the anxiety, but also it can increase our work efficiency...next thing is meditation..suppose you have nothing to do and you stay in the room lazy, then also overthinking may occur..that time you should sit comfortably in a chair, close the eyes and focus on your breathing..just observe your own breathing..this can cut our inner thoughts and can improve our concentration..basically mindfulness is a type of meditation
