  1. Checking in.
    Came back from a 3 day vacation on an island with some friends and have some observations.
    These guys work in the City of London. They make a lot and spend a lot. They are also on instagram a lot.
    I spent within my means but got to see how they and others like them operate.

    They wanted everything to be paid and fancy and were living a parallel life on instagram.
    Everything fancy had to be posted there, every meal, drink, beach and party.
    Their other high income friends were doing the same, and they would compare their stories daily.
    A local model happened to sit next to us one day, doing exactly the same. She was posting herself eating expensive seafood pasta, trying to make it (and herself) look sexy and unattainable.
    I found the sheer stupidity and pretentiousness of this pathetic and vulgar.
    (By the way my ex-girlfriend was prettier and nicer. It seems being super thin and a snob is the only difference between a normal pretty girl and a "model").

    Back to the main point, it's as if people using this app like that have diminished their inner worlds, presenting a fake outer shell to the world.
    They seem confident but are insecure, their approval and self worth depending on followers and likes.
    They go to all these places but are fully present in none, the phone always a staple.
    We degraded the exploration of place and self and the sharing of stories with friends to a pointless competition of who did the most expensive things currently in vogue.

    I do not have an instagram account and will not create one. If anything this experience motivated me to use my phone even less and be more present.
    I am in the early stages of this but like the results so far.
    That being said I did have fun at the island, told many jokes with my friends and enjoyed a great party the last night there.

  2. Funny thing, I just finished reading "Of mice and men" today. I really liked the book.
    Seeing life through the eyes of someone different from another time is somehow magical, I don't have the words to describe it.
    Did you like your book?
     
  3. Yes! I loved rereading it. Although Steinbeck mistranslated the Cain and Abel story, the idea that we are free to choose between good and evil is optimistically empowering. That’s a theme I really enjoy in the work.
     
  4. You know, I still think like that sometimes, but I’m also mindful that I hold that sort of thing in contempt. The real progress we make with mindfulness and Nofap is when we see things we despise but cannot change and do so with detachment and acceptance.

    Fewer phrases in the English lexicon are more beautiful and of equanimity than “and this too.”

    Checking in Saiyan's!

    35 Days Free of PMO.

    Some disturbed sleep again last night, 3 hour chunks both days between around 1 and 4..stress is elevated today and so is my irritability. Urges were stronger, I still didn't give in but I really need to sleep tonight..it messes up my entire plan. I may try to nap a bit later because I have an important meeting today..and I want to be on my best leg and as I feel right now, well.. not the best.

    I'm also concerned because for the next 8 days I'll be on my own at home. I do have blockers in place, that are password protected, but, there is always a concern. I want to make sure I grow from those next 8 days and keep to the path..I know it will be challenging so I ask for your support my friends. I will redouble my studies of stoicism as well.

    Apart from that, I won't be doing exposure today. Just reading meditation and work. Got a nice stretch and short workout in already, just to get the blood flowing.

    Keep training!

    Day 16

    The usual & taking it slow today.One attractive woman was there again at the gym...lol. Just a chance I thought none will be there. I was wrong again. Then more came because the new crowd started showing up.
    Is this going to be a norm now?!

    Glad that they aren't trying hit on me. Just present to be there to distract me unintentionally. Only if I let it get to my head.

    Keep training Saiyans!

    Day 45:

    Rock n roll boys!!!

    couldn’t have made it this far without all your support. To those still suffering- It’s possible fellas. Been at this work since 2018 and this now is literally the second longest time I’ve ever been able to go since I first started acting out in my teens. Feeling clear-headed, confident and creative.


    Kameha-mehaAaaaaaa!!!
