Dealing with emotions

Hey there, we'll all go through this in the NoFap process. It's a great thing in my opinion because it finally lets us take control of who we are and mature as a human being. That said, there are many great tools I use to overcome this obstacle. In the beginning you'll be overwhelmed with sadness and anger. I suggest letting it all out. For me I would cry and cry and cry but that's the beauty, you're finally able to express those emotions. Now this might sound like a cliche but pick yourself back up and listen to uplifting songs and speeches. Turn that negative mindset of victim mentality and change your perception. Ground yourself on a purpose of why you're doing this. Make it a purpose in which you can reap the benefits of the future. Don't half-ass it and set yourself a days goal but instead make it a foundation and a lifestyle for better living. Channel your energy on something else; sports, hobbies, getting into shape, etc. Don't focus on short-term goals like getting a girl friend but focus of mastering yourself and what makes your unique. Be that guy that radiates an energy where everyone wants to be around and slowly you'll start to attract the things in your life.
