Not all streak are created equally

In a previous post titled ‘Nofap is not the holy grail’ I mentioned that the happiest and most productive time of my life was on a 4-month streak; but added that I had a longer 6-month streak which towards the end I was not happy at all.


During those 4 months I was working on organizing a music concert which gave me purpose, acquired new amazing friends which improved my social life, I was working religiously, took karate classes, had picked up drawing in my spare time, and building the foundations of a business. And what I thought was a healthy relationship. It was an amazing time specifically because I was productive, happy, and had limitless energy. I had purpose.

I could only watch on episode of show at before I got bored and went back to work, meaning productivity had created meaning and habit for me. To this day I am always and still chasing that productivity and happiness.


So where did it all go wrong?

That “healthy relationship” ended and I went into a depression. But I soon accepted it and learned that the pain and experience was ok because it taught me not to let a girl be the one to create my happiness. And that I alone was responsible for it.


During the 6 month streak I was working out religiously but had stopped karate class, drew less, and was not as social. The first 3 months were ok as I was with a mentor learning business. But after a while I felt like I was going in circles. I could not see at the time that nofap was a magic pill. Or that I need good relationship with people, purpose, and hobbies. I am sure some of you have experienced this as well. Yeah you’re on a 1 year streak but where has your life gone. Have you progressed? Are you happy? Are you fulfilled?


Then there is the last two weeks, were I relapsed last Sunday and Tuesday. I also have not been meditating or journaling. But I have purpose I have spent these last two weeks designing my program as a life coach to help guys with the same problems I use to have. And more importantly I have taken action. I have been sliding into people DMs and I am writing more blog post like this one. That’s what I feel is keeping me going.


So what if you have been going on a year-long streak, what have you achieved? Bragging about a yearlong streak with no results to show for it is like bragging about having a 10inch dick but you have not slept with any girls. Yet there are guys out there who beat their meat on a daily basis yet they are taking action and achieving things and getting results.

What have you done with that year-long streak? Stop bragging and start achieving. It’s not just a mindset thing, but behavior. Action breeds results ​

 

Yes i have a model to offer.
