Today was day 4 of this awesome journey and it was a bit shaky because I did get urges but I embraced it and let it come and go but other than that no problems. Let's keep rocking and rolling fellas!
10 days done...If I pay attention to what I need to do and how to best respond to lustful thoughts, I think I got one more in me....
Hahaha, the pup yoga thing cracked me up!! And you’re right: flexible but firm is the way to go, as long as you’re always careful of maintaining the balance and not give yourself too much slack either.
This is day 86 of not doing PM. I joined this forum 417 days ago. Of those 417 days, I spend 376 days without doing PMO.
This sounds familiar. I too struggle with staying aware and centered and upholding my own beliefs when I’m in a social situation. It’s like I quickly forget who I am and let myself be influenced too much. The solution has been often to be lonely and stay out of a lot of things, but now I really regret that, because I missed out on so much. I’m not totally sure if your situation is the same as mine, but if it is, this is how I’ve been working with this. Basically, I found I’m too responsive, and that goes for social situations but also for when I’m watching a movie, listening to music, reading the news, (looking at P), anything. Those things totally absorb me, take over my brain, until afterwards I have to pick up the pieces of who I am again. So what I try to do now is train myself in being mindful and staying in the here and now. Sl when watching a movie, I try to be aware of my breathing and my eyes blinking. When I’m talking to people, I try to feel my body and my feet on the ground. But talking to people is the hardest, so I mostlywork on it at home alone. Then you can slowly work up to harder situations. Anyway, again, not sure if this totally helps you, but I hope it’s of some use.
7 days. Still feeling bruised about that last relapse. I really felt sick afterword - don't want to have that feeling again. Instead of dwelling on that though I'm using it as motivation to re-commit to this challenge, and continue with some other positive steps in my life (abstaining from alcohol, meditating daily, reading more, working on my creative projects, etc.)
