self development

Hi I'm wes! I've addicted PMO for a long time. I used to masturbate 5-6 times in a 1 day. These days I masturbate once in a week(sometimes 2) but when I'm about to masturbate I'm still watching porn. Today it relapsed again... And I'm challenging myself NO MORE PMO. I have some goals about this...

Hi, I'm JP, from India. Actually never been that of a hardcore porn consumer, but somewhat addicted to fapping almost daily, when at home... Then, I got introduced to nofap, been trying to be consistent but my streak kept resetting to zero and me sliding back to that wretched habit... As of...

Before you judge the title, read the whole article. NoFap is great movement. The idea of NoFap is to quit watching porn (I will explain why this is a great step in life) and at the same time limit masturbation. The idea is to break the habit of getting this huge amount of pleasure so frequent...

A few hours ago there was a realization. When was the last time porn came to mind? When was the last time a fantasy began playing out on and off throughout the day? Honestly didn’t think any progress has been made in the 2ish years since starting this journey. My longest streak was 10 days...

Counter: 334 days no PMO, semen retention Benefits: Health: never get sick, more strong and flexible More emotional control Clear mind: More focus to study and making choices Improved social skills, more funny and relax around people Crazy attraction: girls look and talk to me more, even send...

Mine is mental toughness

I logged on today because I want to confess something and in doing so unburden myself. All I've been doing for the past few days was sit in bed, watch TV, go to training and sleep. Besides Jiujitsu and a little bit of Yoga, I'm spending a ridiculous amount of time watching TV in a day. I hate...

Hello everyone, I’m 22 years old, and want to reclaim my own experience of life. (Substance Abuse): I replaced a 2 year vaping habit with reading when I was 18 within 6 months. I’ve been smoking weed since I was 14, and I rarely smoked until 16 when I’d say the addiction developed...

I am looking to make a big accountability group for self-development. Most people are on nofap for some silly reason, but those who really want to improve themselves know that nofap will not make your life better alone. You need self -discipline, self-mastery and an abundant amount of desire for...

Today was not the best day for me. For 2 days, i have regularly posting on nofap.com and i have been self disciplined, but today I was not self disciplined. When I felt pressure, i immediately conceded and allowed myself to panic and I subconsciously thought that because I am feeling pressure, I...

This video is what i'm gonna summarize below. It's from beautiful Mayara, Youtube Mayara Healing Arts. You can Google search for "sexual transmutation" to understand more about what it is and how to practice it (I'm gonna add those link of Sexual Transmutation definition later). I discover her...

After observing what all my inspirations have in common, I discovered that they are all respected, exclusive and universal (meaning they are unique but everyone loves them). I do not believe there is a path to success as those who think they got there say, I do think it is a special and...

I know I'm too young (19), and not everyone would take any advice from me. I'm an average guy from a third world country that only gets attention when the U.S. president on duty mentions it to win a few thousand cheap Latino votes that aren't despicable at all. But I know something for a fact...

Despite the title of this thread, today was actually quite a shitty day. I woke up feeling tired, got back to sleep. Woke up again one hour late, but I was sleepy. Still in bed, not even able to get out of it, I relapsed. Finally stood up, didn't pray or meditate, prepared breakfast, but waking...

Hello. Iam 16 years old and Iam really depressed now a days. I lay in bed all day and daydream.I overthink a lot too . Now I want to busy in life I wanna focus on my studies and leave my screen addiction. I really want to change myself and learn new skills. Please suggest what could I learn from...

Sexual energy. what is it? how to control it, what can we do with it, can we stop it? and how to understand it. Sexual energy is your sex drive to drive your mind and body to sex this certain type of energy cannot be seen but felt in many ways and it is also responsible for human existence...

Even since starting nofap 6 months ago, and even tho i had many relapses and failures, i can’t help to notice that Nofap is slowly changing my life to the man i want to be. thanks to Nofap i have managed to : read books and prior to that i have never finished reading a book other than school...

Hey everyone, I've placed a lot of pressure on myself to come out of this quarantine a better man - in better shape, having more energy, growing in my faith, eating more nutritious food, being more productive, and staying in a consistent routine - but any efforts to do this have been...

Two years of NoFap (hard-mode) - How it all began and how it helped me turn my life around I apologize for the delays in delivering this long and detailed life-story of what my life looked like during my PMO-days (and what made the tide finally turn) but life has been quite busy overall and I...

I have a little message to every man who struggles with nofap, quit gaming and more. I'm on myself improvment journey for exactly 2 years now, i started with a weight of 205 pounds (93 KG) on 1,75 m, i was obese and had no real muscles, i played videogames every day like 6+ hours, had little...

No pornography whatsoever. No peeking. No touching. No masturbation. For SIX MONTHS! Mindblowing. Absolutely incredible, thank GOD! Earlier this year, I was a complete PMO zombie. Struggling to escape pornography was an understatement. After falling from my highest ever streak of 58 days on...

Hello beautiful people around the world :) I'm into rebooting and self improvement podcasts lately and I would like to hear what you guys are listening? Any suggestions? I'm currently listen to: - Consider before consuming - Mission Self Improvement - The Art of Charm - Trained

I'm gonna say that I've been without PMO for almost 10 days now and I'm starting to feel a few of the benefits. Everytime I was on PM, I never really had the will nor energy to do whatever it is I needed to do at the time (ie show up to work) or go for that hour and a half jog or even approach...

Hello everyone. I created this topic to talk about time management. I would like to learn more about how I can improve my daily program and project work time organization. You can also leave here some book titles :). I hope that you will found that topic useful.

I stumbled across this book by Kelly McGonigal that talks about practices someone can adopt to boost their will power; which I think is essential for Fapstranauts. I'm linking a video to her google talk below: Here's her goodreads book link if anyone wants it...

AFTER much progress made so far from (if you exclude the relapses). Like losing weight, getting fitter, healthier and on the process to getting a leaner and ripped body. But also moving out into my own place. Picking up hobbies and doing activities I used to love doing in the past. But also...

Hi All, I'm 23 years old guy. I started masturbating from very early age (since 10 year old kid) without knowing about masturbation. The craving for that feeling made me an addict to Masturbation. I got introduced to porn during my early college days and i literally became a slave towards PMO...

"A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth.

Hello, everybody. How you doing? What are you up to? I'm a youngin' from Europe (22 years young) and my mother tongue is not English. Here I am, because I wanna talk with you about a lot. IT is already day 26 of semen retention for me. That's it retention, I feel no addiction to porn, even...

Basically, I`m not an introvert, also I hate to see when people making small talk. It doesn`t mean I`m against over socializing or extroverts. It`s just myself, my attitude!. I also used to make friends, but just a handful of friends, not groupies!. I was decided to not often visit public...

For the past couple of days, I`m keeping up abstinence over social media and some form of entertainment.. since I`ve decided to have a constructive way of recreation. in my schedule of entertainment list, there`s always big NO for social media, Insta, youtube (download and watch some...

I came across a wonderful article, which give a detailed discussion on habit formation. maybe for many people like me, reaching a set goal of PMO challenge would be a journey of motivation combined with desperation. when I reach my goal, I became so happy and relaxed that I sometimes would...

Hey guys, I was hoping you’d be able to give me a little clarity on an idea I’m working on and I’d really appreciate any tips you could give to improve. I have been a martial artist and trainer for many years and had the idea to create a complete, online program to help guys who are stuck in a...

Guys before you get offended by this title try to read this before you judge my idea or criticize it . We all agree that 'based on experiences of fapstronauts ' that there are some benefits all people doing Nofap are going to experience it by the time during the reboot those benefits are (...

Good day brothers! Below is translated from China's Jiese forums, enjoy! May 5 2016 streak broken on day 86 This time I made a common mistake among brothers. Which is gaming addiction, at the time I was addicted to league of legends. This crippled me for several years. From age 11 to 15, I...

Habits. The key to success and also the reason to not achieving it. In order to become the person we want to be, we HAVE TO develop the habits that will enable us to gradually start creating and becoming that Ideal/Perfect Self. Let's be frank, every one of us has at least some habit that...

I want to improve my social skills and get more comfortable in any social situation. I think a good way to do is, is by talking to strangers. This way I will go out of my comfort zone and I have an opportunity to practice small talk. Therefore, I decided to create this challenge of talking to 3...

I recommend the book "Healing the Shame That Binds You" by John Bradshaw. It is $7 bucks that just might help you change your life. Excessive shame is the driver for repressing emotional needs that you express as a "need" for pornography, drugs, alcohol, womanizing, voyeurism, self-harm...

TL DR: This movement has gotten away from the self-improvement side of the coin. Don't wait for NoFap "superpowers". If you want to see an improvement in an area of your life (women attraction, confidence, etc), you need to work on that area specifically. Head: I've been on NoFap.com for about...

Hey everyone! I’m new here. Basically, I realized that all of my problems stem from a lack of discipline. At first I thought, “If I just fix my sleep schedule, everything will be fine,” but I find that I’m struggling to make myself go to bed at a reasonable time. Then of course, it’ll be...

Hey guys always during my reboot journeys so far I start them full of confidence and my mood starts to change to the best and then after two weeks or so I see that I'm frequently angry and sometimes depressed and my emotional state is freaky and changing constantly . Is it due to flat line ...

Everything in life which you take action towards has a consequence and unless there's a consequence,there's a reason to take that action. And In case of self-development the consequence is a better life,a hotter girl,more income but more importantly good habits. The main reason why we are on...

I have read many say that meditation is great and it works...but how do you quiet the mind? As soon as I am alone and have the space and time to try this method my brain starts to race and go ranting everywhere but quiet. I guess I have way to many preoccupations on the mind to focus on being...

Tidings chaps and chapettes. I am from the group Metal Heads here and this is our thread. This is a thread for developing oneself and improving one's life all around in doing so. I am on my phone so let me get to a computer and type out a longer intro post with the details this afternoon some...

I found this video very helpful, maybe it will to you guys too.

So i've been doing substantial amounts of self-reflection lately; what kind of person I am, the kind of person i've been, and the kind of person I want to be. Some slightly epiphanic thoughts for me, but not at all entirely new concepts for many, were centered around the idea that I pollute my...

This is a guy who has amazing dsiapline when it comes to absinence. Teaches to retain and achieve orgams without release. He' been training people for over 40 years and has over 100k students and supposibly a few hundred practitioners. Has anyone followed his practice ?

Hi NoFap Community! My book, Stop Masturbating and Start Living: How to go from fappy to happy and overcome any vice or addiction (ISBN 978-0998734309) is officially out today. I gave my NoFap community a shoutout in the acknowledgements sections since a lot of this book was informed by you...

I am officially starting NoFap on Monday the 6th of November. New week fresh start. My goal is to achieve 60 days. My streaks usually vary between 5 days to 2 weeks but I have never gone further than that as intense urges always lead me to relapse. This time I want to start strong and actually...

So I am in a situation where I have to take a decision but the problem is that I have never taken much decisions on my own in my life. They have been influenced and imposed on me by my environment. I am 22 years old and frankly I don't feel good about this. I am so afraid of taking a decision...

I have failed numerous amount of times throughout my journey. However, after my latest relapse something happened. Even being high off of dopamine, I utilized the limited amount of consciousness I still had during my relapse and put myself in a position to jumpstart the streak I have today...

Sometimes I feel like I lose sight of why I've started nofap. But I always find a way to remind myself of why I started, and what my goals are. That's why I'm a part of this community. I wanted to share with you all a clip of one of my favorite authors, Jordan Peterson-- a very skillful...

Wanted to post this for anyone whos trying to improve their conversation but it doesn't seem to be going well. Dale Carnagie wrote "How to Win Friends And Influence People" one of the greatest self development books ever made, I highly recommend you guys check it. The first lesson he drills...

Hey fapstronauts. New around here. Long story short I felt like crap for 4 years until I rebooted at the age of 21. Life has never been same since. I've been into the self-improvement scene for 3 years after picking up a book and came to learn the importance of developing habits. Here's a piece...

I can't believe this actually works.I was going through some random articles and I happened to find this out.When I saw it I thought it was some troll.I tried it out for a coupla days and it actually freakin works man it freakin works. The answer to all your porn addiction problems...

It's day 8 and I figure I should start my journal. My unhealthy relationship with porn dates back to when I was 12/13 - so about 5/6 years ago; after being introduced by a cousin when he was joking about it. Initially, it was an everyday thing, as a young boy I found it amusing actually, it was...

Of course everyone wants to get fit for the new Year and I have a challenge just for that. The aim of this challenge is, whenever the urge builds up, you simply complete 10-20 push-ups then go on with your day. That way you'll get some physical gains too ahaha. Who's with me? PS: if it works...

I've exams coming up in 2 days and I'm wasting time on the internet. Not P but still. Even if you take the internet away from me, I'd find something else to waste time on, anything to distract myself from actually studying. This has been going on all my life. Despite countless failures in the...
