Completed a 30 day reboot in a long time.

Hey there, just completed a 30 day reboot in a long time.

In the past, I was able to do 90 to 100 days streaks, but relapsed several times and haven't been able to do a 30 day reboot in a while. But I finally did it and I think I may have found some tools that works for me. I'd like to share them, here they are and some of my experiences.

- Just finding a physical and spiritual routine would help. When I have an urge, I'd get up and do an MMA/boxing workout, do a few push ups, do the resting squat position, lay on the floor to take a few deep breaths for a few minutes and then get up to say The Jesus Prayer, read The Bible and few other novels. Then after that, I'd go on youtube and listen To The Bible being recited in Hebrews and just meditate on that for a few minutes, then finish it off with playing my guitar.

- I also have a few other hobbies that I do such as writing and sketching.

- Getting some sunshine in the morning on my Ebike.

- Being more spiritual and reading The Bible, KJV, turning to Jesus for help.

- This one is pretty basic - exercise, do some Push ups, calisthenics, stretching, cardio, weight lifting, etc.

- This is a technique I learned when I got an urge, I call it ' The modest woman technique', whenever I get turned on or see a scantily clad dress woman on social media or whatever. I visualize and picture her dressed in a modest robe, with her head covered like the women in the Islam and early Judea faith. Then after that, I think about what I should do next to stay busy like doing a quick workout, chores, writing, reading or whatever. It gets my mind off the lust quick and get me proactive instead of lingering on the lustful thought.

- On a side note, One thing that happens to me on this journey is that I got spiritually attack by demons in my dreams. I would get weird dreams, sleep paralysis and what not. If these things happen to you, it's pretty normal. Also I got sick several times so I consider that a form of demonic attack as well. One form of demonic attack I learned is that people around you can sometimes discourage you from doing NoFap but that's what to be expected.

- Also sleeping early and having good sleeping habits is also a plus. Research those.

These are some just some of the things that's help me personally that I like to share. Hope these tips can help some of you guys, because I know it can be tough to get back on Day 30 after relapsing frequently.

Good luck.

 

Some more tips

- Fasting is important, you should definitely fast if you feel you’re being more tempted by the outside forces that is out there.

- Go outside and get some sunshine.

 

Very important tip - DO NOT lay down on your bed while looking/scrolling on your smartphone. This is a very popular position in which plenty of dudes relapsed.

- Also limit your screen time and try to get more hands on activities that doesn’t involve looking at screens all the time.

 

Just a little advice….

Your smartphone can be your greatest enemy when it comes to this stuff. Lying down on your bed during the midnight hours and looking at cute girls or instagram thots with bikinis and thongs…lol …won’t help your cause.

As a matter of fact, lying down on your bed chilling with your smartphone is a dangerous position to be in and have caused numerous relapses.

Instead if you have to temptation to do this, replace it with another activity that is more productive. Instead lie down on your bed while reading a novel, chill on your bed while sketching or you can play your guitar. etc. If you’re spiritual, read the scriptures and pray.

Never lie on your bed doing nothing but looking at your smartphone, your opening pandora’s box to your eventual relapse. I should know I’ve learned this lesson way too many times.

 

Note: - Your pre bed time ritual is very important. Make sure to not use any electronics prior to before going to sleep. Take a cold shower and do some reading.

If you're religious, read your scriptures and make sure to pray before going to sleep. Do not lie down looking at the phone while on your bed.
