Today, I am grateful that I managed to quit social media and control my screen time. It makes me less nervous and anxious. Now, I became able to relax. It's a beautiful state. I am grateful for this sensation. After relaxation, I feel energetic. I feel like I can do anything. I am ready for anything. Full of vigor. Since then I became more able to focus, pay attention.. another big big blessing.. It's feels nice, it pays well. My enjoyment of all my habits and activities multiplied. Also the quality of my work. I can now sense and feel and think and live. sitting in front of screen all the time make me an addict and a loser. It deprived me from life, from my loved ones. I can't be more thankful and grateful for the understanding of the effects of screen abuse on my life and for the experience and feeling of how much everything got better once I took some steps to break the bad habits. Now, I am more organized, confident, curious and enthusiastic. My life is getting better everyday. I am actively taking new steps to improve my understanding and choices related to using screens and internet. The commitment and the momentum really benefits me pushing away chances of reverting back. I do make mistakes because that's what a human do. But I am so grateful for my capacity to observe the mistake and learn from them. And to my commitment and consistency. From now till the rest of my life, I shall use these tools wisely, knowledgably, only to my pleasure, benefit and well-being.

Today, I am having porn urges unusually. But I am thankful for this amazing platform and the panic button, both helped me survive all the difficult moments. I am building good habits staying here like this really helpful habit of practicing gratitude. I am also fending off lost of bad habits, especially bad screen habits. today i was surprised by my mom (unintentionally ) giving me a notebook with a cover depicting image of an astronaut and rocket that looks so much like the NoFap image.. This offer me a moment of pure fun.. I am learning all the time here.. connecting with helpful and kind people, together we will fight this evil and rescue our future and other's from it. Finally, I am grateful of this technique of gratitude practice that really elicit gratitude inside of me.. the idea of focusing on one main blessing and just sensing its effects on my life...

I am also so grateful that the current relapse is put to an end. That I am back on track. I am grateful for the valuable lessons gained from this relapse.

Thankful for having good and healthy food.. I enjoyed lots of fruits today. My eating habits have improved a lot in the last two years. Also, my body is 120 lb less than 2 years ago. I am healthy, fit and energetic. Nothing now spoil my life except PMO addiction and screen addiction. but Here I am.. embarking on a long journey to recovery from addiction. My most gratitude for the awareness that I have a problem, for the courage and stamina to face it and endure the price.

Today, a power outage happened, therefore, I was blessed with about 3 hour of no screen, no internet, no distractions. I just sat down.. thinking, reflecting, writing, meditating..

Finally, I am so grateful that I had the power to endure the many intense urges I had today.. and for they disappear.

 

Today I am grateful for songs, classical songs in my mother tongue are so full of beauty I have a lot of pleasure listening to these songs.. especial the one that says, the heart admire all that is beautiful ..

Also, I am grateful for the abundance of arts and songs yet I will discover and for the amazing people who created this beauty..
Thanks for the happiness and the wisdom in your art..

I had a routine now to listen a some soothing relaxing songs after meals.. It helps me feel good and fend off all the bad habits.

I think that filling my heart with a true beauty and art will help me reject po3n .. It will become repulsive to me. so art will help me heal my brain from the addiction.. art can be motivating to me..can lift my spirit.. inspire me.. I am grateful for all the good art we have in the world and for the amazing people that creates it..
