My Brain is Trying to a Trick Me

hi Bru ..its just 2 days for me..but i will try to suggest somethin
OK..see just think of it this way..wen u get diverted think dat its not u..its not wat u really wanted...ur possessed..u r supposed to drive ur car but someone else is pushing u behind and takin control of ur car..just try to get back infront of the wheel..u hav to drive ur car..as soon as u wake up just close ur eyes n tell urself 'today i believe in myself...i can do it'.....also meditating is good idea...

 

Find something to focus on. Work, a project, plan a trip, ect. Also for those mornings that you wake up wanting to fantasize, try looking at a calander and think about how you have now gone x number of days without PMO and that at the end of today it will be y number of days. Basically focus on how good you feel when you think about how long you have gone without PMO.

Best of luck dude.

 

Just don't. I find that to be the simplest of solutions. No matter what your brain tries to trick you into thinking you want, ultimately, you have the decisive power. So chose not to.

 

Begin to look at your those thoughts and urges as if they were a third party.
Just because you think something does not mean you have to act on it.

 

Try to think in another thing.
You have to let your brain to know that you are in charge of your sexuality. And you have the power to decide if what your brain "thinks" it´s good for you, it truly is.
Our brains have been damaged because of a lot of time PMO´ing so they are not a trustful source to get a good "advise" about what is convenient for us.
You can decide and reach the future you want and be the kind of persona you want to be.
Keep strong!
It´s not easy, but just go ahead!!

 

I find that getting up early, and getting active works best. As long as your mind is active, you will find that you fantasize less. Also, try get to bed before you get over tired. I am also more tempted when I'm tired, so getting myself into a proper routine helped a ton. Hope that helps.

 

Hey KrmGrn, I hear you. The morning's and evenings can be tough for me too. We are probably the most vulnerable then because our mind's are not at their strongest. It could also be that these two times were when you hopped on the PMO train. With engrained habits like this, try finding something to replace it with. Maybe when you wake up, immediately brush your teeth. Over time, the first thing you will do is get up and brush your teeth instead of trying to fantasize. Another thing you can do that can help is encourage other nofapstonaughts when you're feeling tempted. Leaving an encouraging post on someone else's thread can help you remember (a) you're not alone, (b) some of the reasons you're quitting PMO, (c) things you can do to say no, (d) that you're a decent human being who helps other people. For me, I find helping others very rewarding, so that can help me get through a craving. Besides, it's really hard to strongly encourage someone to stop for their own benefit, and in the next moment cave.
