It was a good day. I decided not to report the negative counter here. I know honesty is at a premium. However, when I report a relapse I don't see any point of doing it. It makes me feel ashamed. A relapse doesn't define me as person. On each relapse day I do a lot of good things for myself (selfcare) as well as for others. And I am not going to play it down because of a relapse at the end of a day. Today I started affirmations when I was feeling anxious. Repeating the same positive phrases can bring positive emotions back into my mind and can hush or counter all the negative ones. I am going to stick with this habit every morning. I still have my personal goals concerning nofap and I want to train my self-discipline but I want to learn to accept my relapses as something natural on my path. When my motivation, mental and behavioral patterns improve, my periods of abstinence from porn will increase. I want to score two more clean nights this month in order to repeat the score from last year. Stay strong, guys! I've watched the 3 parts but I forgot about this one. Thanks for reminding me.
Maintain your self-discipline, train your motivation but... you don't have to beat yourself up for every mistake. You must answer it to yourself. For me, thought-control and the 3-second rule (kill every P thought within 3 seconds) help me come closer to my goals. It means fantasizing and watching P-subs which are almost everyone. But everyone chooses their path and rules. It's your life and your choices. You are responsible for them. And you know the answer already. It's like the Oracle in Matrix.
You should look into EFT. Helps bring out lots of issues, and you tap onto key energy points of the body (if you believe in that) to help. Brad Yates on Youtube is excellent. Not sure if it's coincidental, but my "relapse" occurred when I hadn't done EFT. Check it out. I think it's good that you still do good things, even when you relapse. It'll reinforce positive behaviours, which is what we all want. I've set my own personal goal of 100 days. That's it. After that, I'll decide how I want to monitor my progress. This is what I'm using now to monitor my progress. Might be something for you to consider in the future, or to amend to fit your own personal goals. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/b29ppr/created_a_90_day_chart_inspiration_from_urozex19/
Thanks @Red_John for the tips. I find the tapping really effective. Do you just do it when you feel anxious or is it a regular practice similar to meditation? The pyramid looks great too and it's very inspirational. However, I keep my records in an MS excel spreadsheet. The pyramid would stress me out because it would mean I would have to take the challenge of accomplishing the goal at one go. Also I need a digital version of it because it's more discreet. Thanks for reaching out to me! Resistance to Matrix is still strong.
I do it once or twice a day, regardless of how I'm feeling. I know a lot of people do it when they're feeling nervous about a situation. I just find it helps me feel lighter when I do it, and I know it's helping circulate the energy through my body, compared to it being stuck. Whatever works for you!
Did you try only tapping? I find massaging those points also very effective as they get warmer. When I am stressed out, I feel cold.
Going to take a little 2 day break from this site starting tomorrow. Something tells me it'll be good for my mental health. Stay strong everybody!
It's good not to always be reminded of your NoFap journey, just getting on with life, so yeah, I reckon it'll be healthy for you. You see those on stupendously high streaks start to be on here less and less. so it makes sense!
It was a good day. But it ended not the way I had planned. I woke up anxious but thanks to the advice from @Red_John I managed to deal with anxiety by means of tapping, affirmations and exercise. I'm still going to do some jogging and reading. For the time being I'm mentally weak in the nofap department but I'm still positive and determined. My streak is yet to come. I have no choice but to move on with me life despite the adversity. I need to take advantage of the opportunities the life is giving to me despite an occasional relapse. Perhaps the situation will be fixed after I have solved other issues that cause it. I need to be optimistic and proactive.
