THE SUPER SAIYAN CHALLENGE! What is your Power Level?! (RANKS ARE BACK, GET YOURS NOW!

Day 20!

 

Checking in!

 

Day 0 here goes nothing! I just want to get rid of this thing in my head ugh!

 

So much good vibes here!
Let's do it guys!!!!!

 

I think my urges tonight brought me a good idea for a new approach on my recovery. It's all about energy!
Look, urges usually raises your energy level, right? Or maybe your energy level is already high when you get the urges. It's also true that constant urges can drag you down energetically, but urges can generally be understood as a rush of energy. And you can feel that!
In contrary pmo brings your energy level down. Acute, chronically, systematically - you know what I'm talking about. Likewise other unhealthy, dopamine depleting behaviors.

What we need to do is this: we must use the energy for something meaningful instead of react to the urges with acting out and loose our energy in pmo. Of course! So what's the news?
Well, if we see it such as that: a problem of energy, then we frame our problem in a certain way. How do you usually frame it. Morally? Or maybe just as a problem (like this: oh no! I have a problem! This problem is so big and the urges are so strong! Help meee!)
But this is not just philosophical! When the urge hits, it means that we have a lot of energy at our disposal (like a colorful ball of whirling energy between your hands ). So we should really be happy and not curse the urge. Sure, it is of sexual nature (which is not bad in itself but for us it is connected with certain bad behaviors that we've taught ourselves by many repetitions). So instead of focusing on the visual and sexual aspects (of the urge) we should rather focus on the energy alone.
In few words: we feel the energy, we appreciate it, we use it for good.

That reminds me on how important it is to let the sexual ideas and visuals alone. Often I get aroused just thinking about recovery and the role that porn plays in my life. There are so many things that can trigger me ...
Sometimes it is of course necessary to think about it. But for most of the time: why should we? At least I don't want to get addicted to recovery!
So this approach deals with the urges but without getting too close to them. When we regard the urge as a rising energy inside of us then, with some luck, this will already transform the sexual urge. Maybe not, but as long as we regard the urges as energy we keep a positive attitude that is directed on a positive goal: use the energy for something good.
When the energy is too much, when you feel overwhelmed by the urge then I recommend urge surfing. I also second other activities, like doing push-ups for example. But doing it with grinding teeth in the conviction that one must push away those urges, beat them with everything you have ... well, this might be a good approach for building muscle, but it is not a good mindset to deal with urges in my opinion - it will fail you when you don't feel well enough to perform these "push aways".
Why not accept the urges? Haven't we created the biggest portion of the urges by our behavior?
