The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Day 63, trod on!

63 days – With boats given by the Elfs you sail on the river Anduin. The journey continues south to Amon Hên.

 

Day 11! I'm in vacation back to my old place/life... I almost slipped as I couldn't nap, and thoughts started sprouting. A certain level of prudence is required to be attained by me these days.
You are a part of my strength for resisting, thank you for existing and doing your thing!

 

Clean and Sobre. It's a lovely day everyday.
I'm confident, I'm serene, I'm charged, I'm cut throat competitive, I'm wise, I wield power and strength.

Thank you Nofap!!!!!

 

Checking in.

 

Day 7 completed, approaching Uruk-Haidom for a third time

 

Hey community it's my birthday and I would like to thank you guys helping me to have a masturbation free birthday today it feels like I have been rejuvenated even though recently got a bad result and not in the best of festive mood I feel this is a cause to celebrate and do wish me so that I can perform amazingly in my upcoming exam. Cheers!! BTW I am now 19 not 111

 

Really down. Really down. I messed up last night. This morning I laid in bed and did nothing for most of the morning. The scary thought of maybe giving up and that I can't do this came through my mind. But my stupid mantra of "I can be all that I can be if I just keep trying" came through my head.

@Redemptionisrequired Thanks for the mantra advice. lol

Now to keep pushing forward.

My song for the day:

 

Day 5

Got 8 hours of sleep and feel good. I took a cold shower. Still need to pray and meditate. Next week I'll get back into working out.

Right now I'm working on a syllabus, which has me stressed, but I will overcome it and then go spend time with family and friends.

 

Day 8 completed im a Uruk-Hai now

 

What a great Journey is awaiting me! I can relive the whole LOTR story, from Hobbiton to Mount Doom … may the addiction be doomed in the end and may I be free …
But true, many times I felt like Frodo when he was completely lost …

So another bloody orrrc
JOINING IN

 

Checking in on day 22!

 

Day 9! Almost back at double digits.

 

Day 3 complete!

I'm thankful for a solidly productive day with little temptation--got up and went straight for a run, finished my book, my brother and I finished a jigsaw puzzle we've been chipping away at, and lifeguarded for four hours at a fun private party. There was a slight urge from the fuzziness associated with an alcoholic drink at lunch, but I was prepared and kept myself occupied. Tomorrow marks two weeks until I begin studying at seminary, so I plan to spend time getting my things in order and reviewing what I want to pack.

Bro its your time to control your emotions.

The following are methods of emotional management and regulation:

1. Psychological suggestion

From the perspective of psychology, it is the psychological process in which individuals exert influence on themselves through language, image, and imagination. This concept was first proposed by French physician Couet in 1920. His famous saying is "I am getting better and better in every aspect every day." Self-suggestion is divided into negative self-suggestion and positive self-suggestion. In the process of answering questions, I saw that many brothers who broke the precept are thinking negatively and suggesting negatively. This will only make the more precepts get worse. You must fully affirm yourself. Even if you fail, you must face it positively, think positively, and be positive for yourself. The hint, tell yourself that you can do it, and see your progress. Positive self-suggestion, unconsciously, will have a positive impact on our own will, psychology and even physical state, which can keep us in a good mood, optimistic mood, and self-confidence, thereby mobilizing people’s internal factors and exerting our subjectivity. initiative. The "Pygmalion effect" in psychology is also called the expectation effect, which means positive self-suggestion.

2. Attention shift method

Attention shift method is a self-regulation method that shifts attention from stimulus situations that cause adverse emotional reactions to other things or engages in other activities. When there is a bad mood, you should turn your attention to things that interest you, such as going for a walk, watching movies, TV, reading, playing football, playing chess, chatting with friends, and changing Environment, etc., help calm down the emotions and find new happiness in activities. This method, on the one hand, stops the role of bad stimuli and prevents the generalization and spread of bad emotions; on the other hand, it achieves the purpose of enhancing positive emotional experience by participating in new activities, especially activities of interest. In the past, some brothers were very good at adjusting when they were in a bad mood. He would watch positive energy articles and inspirational videos to cheer himself up in this way, which is also very good. Personally, I prefer to watch comedy or listen to Dade's teachings, which can also regulate emotions. You can also listen to inspirational songs, which can also resolve bad emotions and improve your mood.

3. Reasonable Catharsis

Excessive depression will only aggravate emotional distress, while reasonable catharsis can release bad emotions, so that tension can be relieved and relaxed. Therefore, when you encounter bad emotions, you can vent to your heart's content through sports, labor, etc. You can play basketball, football, sandbags, jogging, etc. You can shout as much as you like, and sing loudly. This method can be used. Resolve bad emotions, but subject to certain environmental restrictions. Let’s cry out loud. Research by American psychologists has found that when a major stimulus brings us a heavy psychological shock, if we can cry happily at this time, it will not only vent our grief, relieve the pain, but also improve us. The emotions of the people can be more quickly invested in normal life and study. It must be pointed out that when adopting the catharsis method to regulate one's own bad emotions, one must strengthen self-control. Don't vent dissatisfaction or unpleasant emotions casually. You must adopt the correct method and choose the appropriate occasion to avoid adverse consequences. Catharsis should also be carried out within the scope permitted by morals and laws, and must not hinder others or harm the interests of others and the collective.

4. Self-comfort

When a person encounters misfortune or frustration, in order to avoid mental pain or anxiety, he can comfort oneself and dilute the inner anxiety and pain. And motivate yourself more, encourage yourself, affirm yourself, and cheer yourself up as soon as possible. Failure or setbacks are only temporary. You must think positively and face your life positively. This method is very helpful for helping people accept reality, protect themselves, and avoid mental breakdown in the face of big setbacks. Therefore, when people encounter emotional problems, they often use sentences such as "victory or defeat is commonplace in the military", "we lose our horses, we will not know the good fortune", and "on success or failure in life is heroic, the big deal is to start all over again" and other sentences to comfort themselves, which can get rid of the troubles. Eliminate anxiety, depression and disappointment, achieve the purpose of self-motivation, sum up experience, and learn lessons, which helps to maintain emotional tranquility and stability.

5. Communication adjustment method

When we encounter unsatisfactory or unsatisfactory things, and when we have troubles, we can take the initiative to find relatives and friends to socialize and talk, which is much better than being alone, thinking and complaining. Therefore, when you are emotionally unstable, you can have a talk with someone, which has the effect of easing, soothing, and stabilizing your emotions. On the other hand, interpersonal communication also helps to exchange ideas, communicate emotions, strengthen one's confidence and courage to overcome bad emotions, and be able to deal with bad emotions more rationally. In the process of communication, you can also get comfort, understanding and encouragement from the other party, and you can turn the topic to other aspects, so that you will naturally not pay attention to the troublesome things. The communication adjustment method should choose more trustworthy relatives and friends, friends with positive energy, they can bring you positive influence and encouragement.

6. Read more sage books, naturally calm

Yang Jiang once said: "At the end of reading, it is for us to understand more tolerantly how complicated the world is." Maybe we can't find a way to change the world, but we can find a way to calm ourselves. Reading is a good way, so try it. In many cases, we can't control the troubles in life, can't control the opinions of others, but we can control our own hearts. Reading more can adjust your mind, enrich your experience, enhance your cognition, and have the ability to think from the perspective of others, so that you will be more tolerant in your heart and will not easily collapse. At the same time, there is poems and books in the belly, and with the nourishment of books, the soul is nourished, and it is natural to speak and do things without arrogance, arrogance, and humiliation. You can understand how complicated the world is and manage your emotions with tolerance.

7. Empathy

When encountering disputes or other problems in life, knowing empathy is a kind of understanding, tolerance, and consideration. Learning to use empathy in the face of difficulties is a kind of ability and a kind of wisdom. Often some incomprehensible problems will become elusive, and in practice, it is often surprisingly successful. Empathy is: consider problems from the perspective of others, put yourself in consideration for others, be considerate of others' difficulties, and refrain from complaining; understand the hardships of others without getting angry. To get along with people, we must know how to think in different places, so that we can feel that it is not easy from the perspective of others. Everyone’s life is not easy and each has its own difficulties. Therefore, we need to think about each other to be tolerant and considerate. The difficulty of this is the generous mind that everyone needs. People can have more understanding and understanding between people, and there will be less disputes and misunderstandings, and at the same time, there will be more feelings.
