Not exactly sure if everyone can relate, but from who I spoke to and learned from the two most common triggers that are most likely to destroy your long streak are SELF DEFEAT and BOREDOM Im now capable of processing these urges just by telling myself "I want to be free" or through transmutation Do you guys know any other common triggers I missed?
Other people report that they begin to ask themselves why they're even doing nofap in the first place. They get so far into their streak that they lose focus of the main goal to begin with, so it's important to remain strong and alert and to remind ourselves why we're even doing this. Another trigger is to get carried away with sexual thoughts. It's a good idea to be more conscious of our thought process and to try and limit how far we go with our fantasising. Some men fantasise more than others, so I guess it really depends on the person. But yeah, totally agree that sexual transmutation is the way forward. I'm currently reading "Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy" by Mantak Chia.
I felt I had energy for transmutation on my eleven day streak. Before that I never felt I had any. Its definitely a method I am going to experiment with when my streak gets that far.
These are all very good ones. I'd like to add bad sleeping habits as well. Sleeping too late, sleeping too little can also deter your progress. It's important to have a good sleep schedule. At least for me when I sleep well, I find it easier to avoid relapsing and have more willpower as well as discipline. How about you guys?
Don't we all want to be free I am just so sick of pmo. I've had four wet dreams so far and they remind me of my old habits but I'm going to keep pushing and you should do the same and it seems like you are .
Hey Guy, IMO, wet dreams are a good sign, and are actually beneficial. By not PMOing or MOing, the semen you usually ejaculate can build up. Wet dreams are your body's natural, innocent way of dealing with the build-up. Semen can also be reabsorbed into the body. So, wet dreams can mean you've quit misusing your sexuality, and are beneficial by nature. Two things: if you should wake up while ejaculating, just let it happen, and don't touch yourself. Second, if you remember the dream--or any sexual dream-- the next a.m., just treat it as you would any other trigger or temptation and put it out of your head. Hey, congrats on being half-way their, buddy! Stay strong, stay determined, stay vigilant. Peace, little brother. Mike
Thanks man, not to act conceded or whatever but I'm actually pretty surprised I managed to get to 45 days on my first try on being on nofap this forum really helped me a lot .
Good going, Guy! No, you don't sound conceited at all. When we do get too full of ourselves, though, nature has a way of busting our balloon and bringing us back to a position of humility. Humility, IMO, is the great virtue of being just who we are, nothing more, nothing less. Keep being your best self, buddy, and take real joy from that! Stay strong. We need your support. Peace. Mike
