I am ready to dance again!!! DAY 1 today! I will keep busy. Everytime I see my thoughts slipping I will take deep breaths and start thinking about my future self and my reason WHY. Lets fucking GO!!!
Hi guys Day 0 Starting my streak again after a very long gap like an year due to relapse and getting out of control from watching porn. starting slowly from here so to rebuild and regain control over the life. All the best brothers your brother in this struggle
Day 3 today Honestly made a slight mistake. I didnt follow my strategy and just got lost in thoughts and now the intense sex thoughts are circling around and cant focus at all. Srsly thinking about busting and starting again
Just finished the 3 day. Onto this seven day challenge. Let's do this. Day 0/7. Learnings and things to focus on this time around Remember HALTS: if you're experiencing these, be vigilant! Minimise time on devices. Hungry Angry Lonely Tired Stressed When your mind wanders and you're tempted, put it down and step away! (The device and anything else...) To beat temptation, often all it takes is getting your eyes off the screen. Then walk around the room or step outside into the sunshine or cool night air. Be present with what's there. Birds chirping. Trees swaying in the breeze. Cars honking. Whatever it is. And what are you feeling inside? What's really going on there? Usually temptation is a way to distract from what's really going on inside. Once you are present with your internal state, and acknowledge it, the desire for PMO will often dissipate. Connections This ties in with the Lonely item. Maintain your connections with people. Has it been a while since you caught up with someone close to you? Pick up the phone. And actually use voices. Even if you don't have much to say, just hearing and engaging with what loved ones are doing, what they're passionate about, what they're struggling with, this can help you to get out of your own head. There's something special about it, it's almost like it turns off desire, and turns on empathy. When that's activated, there's little room for self-gratification.
Oops I stuffed up my counting, I’m actually still on day 2 of the 3 day challenge (for a few more hours). Will check in tomorrow and start the count from zero here
