New Fapstronaut
So, I´m doing nofap for a month and three weeks but unfortunately I´m not having any results. My biggest objective was to improve my confidence and be "the best version of myself". I was never a truly pmo addict. On average, I would masturbate like 2/3 times a week. It could be that. Or it could be the fact that besides quitting porn and fapping, I did nothing to change myself. I know that only nofap itself will not make a lot of difference. The point is to be first step in a more healthy and happy life, but I was expecting at least some minor changes. I´m not quitting this yet. I would make it at least to the 3 months mark and from now on I´m thinking about also changing other bad habits and introducing some new ones which I believe can help me to reach my goal.
My list of things to day everyday for the next 2 months (along with nofap):
- read a chapter of a book;
- meditate (mc2 method);
- take a cold shower;
- eat healthy;
- no cigarettes (I´m a smoker), weed or alcohol (except on some special events like a concert or something like that);
- start a diary and write at least a page;
- digital hypnosis (those you can find on youtube);
- workout;
- no music and no movies and no tv;
- only use internet when needed.
Cutting off music and movies are probably the least consensual decision, but I´m thinking about doing it not because of dopamine (we can´t really cut off all dopamine releases nor it would make any sense to do so) but because they help me a lot to imagine my own world in a bad way. Example: if a watch some romantic movie or listen to some type of music I would immediately create scenarios in my head with my crush, distancing myself from reality (similar to what porn does: creates a comfort zone to make you feel like you don´t need real women as long as you keep fantasizing).
What you guys think about my "plan"?
