    Same story here. Being perfectionist and somehow trying to impress myself.
    Good luck in looking for a job, buddy.

    It rather not from trying too hard but from the failure to discern what is relevant and what's not and in concentrating the hard effort on what really matters instead of wasting it on everything that happens to pull our attention...
    Discipline is first of all about organizing the mind and making sure that our top priorities are getting our top effort and not the other way around. The problem is that we so often forget our priorities if we are not constantly reminded about them. Coming here often and participating actively is one of the good ways to keep our priorities in mind every day.

    Arigato, sensei @Slider8. Discipline and priorities, it is.

    ...and our lives have to be organized and running smooth in all areas of it. If not it's going to be like if your whole body is healthy but one of your wrists is badly sprained. Little piece but it makes you incapable of doing many things, undermines your self-confidence and constantly distracts you in whatever else you do. So don't work on improvement of one particular not working aspect of your life(like lust addiction) but on any aspect which feels like 'badly sprained wrist' for even one has a power to affect the way you feel and behave.
    Here is the Samurai life rules to ponder:

    So this is my first post in about 5 months, as went off the rails entirely.

    Back on nofap since the start of this week, so this is day 5 for me.

    Ok bro, i understand, you wanna see for yourself. i understand, in fact, if i hadn´t tried that myself, i would do that if i were in your place :D. But like you said, if it gives you hope, then go for it :)

    On a down note, masturbation is not allowed here, so you can´t embark on the journey. However you can still share with us your daily reboot experience and receive the Fellowship support :)

    Checking in Fellowship.

    Not feeling well today, i slept poorly last night and today i´m feeling really low. low mood, low energy, low motivation. still i did all my planned self-care habits. Gonna do a light workout later on.

    Nothing more to add my friends. Have a good day. Here´s something that i saw/remembered today:

    "I wish none of this had happened.

    So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

    I guess a good motivational wallpaper on the desktop is a great idea.

    Day 1

    I had a pretty good day yesterday, with meditation, prayer, exercise, and family time all figuring in. I've been a lazy fellow this morning, but maybe I can still make some gains today.

    You gotta use the energy productively. That's the spirit, man.
