    If I experience an urge to look up internet porn online or to read erotic confessionals or any other kind of p-sub material......
    • Then REQUEST DENIED. NO! I will surf the urge, no matter how strong. If it comes down to a choice between relapsing and a sleepless night of misery, I choose the latter EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

    [QUOTE="BushidoWarrior,

    The brain doesn't think in terms of abstract generalities; it deals with concrete, specific situations. Implementation intentions are a means of converting abstract, general goals ("Don't PMO/MO/O for 90 days") into concrete specific behaviors ("If I have an urge to fap, I will not act upon it.")

    I'm confused when you say the brain (doesn't) think in terms of abstract generalities, but it (does) think in terms of abstract general goals?

    What I mean is that your brain understands concrete specific situations much better than abstract goals. If I have a goal to eat healthier food, I can make that goal much more effective by planning what I will do when I have junk food cravings, instead of just saying "I will not eat junk food". In other words, saying "I will not act on urges to eat junk food when they arise" is much more likely to make you succeed than just having a goal "I will not eat junk food". The former conserves your mental energy and gives you very specific situations to plan ahead for.

    oh ya, that makes sense I actually watched a tedtalk video on willingness and self control and the therapist uses this method for patients his patients who are trying to change. Realizing when you get that urge or cravings, and then saying "I'm realizing that I am having an urge to want to do this" instead of trying to control it, let go of control and let the urge in, be its friend

    where did you learn this information? is this in a psychology book or something?

    I learned it on Spring.org.uk, a great psychology website. Implementation intentions are backed up by a massive load of research too.

    Aight, I'm taking a break from intention setting. It's working, but I've been doing it in my handwritten journal anyway. My morning routine is getting far too bloated; I need to start cutting back on unnecessary tasks. Best of luck everyone!
     
  15. So by daily intention you mean a planned response to a possible situation that may or may not arise?

    Also it'd be appreciated if you post something to back your claim here up.

    It sounds like a one pointed kind of view and there are other ways of seeing things.

    I like the general thread idea. Don't mind if I adjust my approach slightly away from what you intended.
     
  16. Today's intention is to create magic online in one form or another.
     
  17. You've resurrected an old dead thread that's almost a year old. Magic achieved!
     
  18. Answered my above question.
     
  19. Maybe I should have said majick. Gypsy magick. But thank you for the compliment.
