    Hi Guys,

    Sometimes I got too much energy and emotions that I feel I can scream or just get aggressive or just want to work-out or just feel happiness and that life is a adventure and becoming impulsive and funny. Later I can feel very tired or just exhausted. As you see it is very much as a rollercoaster. I feel that the semen retention is a powerful tool that need to me managed correctly.

    I would need your advices and help in how to process all the energy and feelings?

    Today, I am meditating, working out at home with pushups and situps, talking to girls and going on dates (without the help of apps like tinder or social media), reading books and just trying to think slower in order to not relapse.

    all help or suggestions is much appreciated! Have a wonderful day without porn and I wish everybody peace in mind.
     
  2. Same here..I'm still learning how to channel all this energy, I'm really not used to feeling so energetic
    I think the best thing to do is to calm your thoughts down, by doing some simple mindful things that you like
    Because all the feeling are triggered by your racing mind
    You are not supposed to deplete all your energy to feel calm
    When you engage in some calming activities you feel like the energy is flowing throw flawlessly, that's what transmutation is..it's about turning the energy into creativity
    So you can draw, write, or do any creative thing that you like
    If you don't have anything to do, then try something new, just try
    I know it's a simple advice that you already know, but I think that's the thing
    There's no secrets or magical solutions
    Anyway I don't have that much experience, just wanted to share my thoughts
    Good luck for you

    Try working out in a gym and doing heavy compound lifts. It is completely differenet to doing pushups and situps at home. It's hard to explain the feeling you get from doing heavy deadlifts and squats. The energy is still there, but you feel like you can control and direct it.

    Also meditate more, and try to be mindful in general. By that I mean be aware of the feeling and what is causing it, and don't let it effect what you are trying to do.

    Thanks for the advice. But no Gym. Before I trained very seriouse for around 5 years with 5 days a week. I really don´t like the gym anymore , that is why I train at home for the moment. However, I will try to play tennis with my friend , when I play tennis I forget about the world and only focus o the game.

    True! I need to be more mindful, but it is hard. Feelings and thoughts sometimes take over my life. I am a social person but if a bad feeling or thought comes, it can somtimes take over but in reality it is just a emotion in your head. It got nothing to do with my current status in life. :/ What are your tips in how to be more mindful? What have helped you?

    Thanks again for your support!

    What kind of training did you do in the gym?

    Mindfulness will just come with time and practice. I think you should meditate at least twice a day, once in the morning once before bed for 10 minutes each. Once you have that consistently try 15 minutes then 20.

    Try different meditation techniques. I'm not talking crazy techniques, just tweak things slightly. Try meditating in different positions around your house. Try sitting up super straight or try letting your body relax and slouching. Try focusing completely on your breath, or focus completely on the sensations throughout your whole body, or focus on your surroundings, your room, your house, and how you are positioned in relation to those (this is a weird one, you can sometimes feel like you become one with your surroundings and watch yourself from a third person perspective, it is probably one of my favourite methods). The headspace app has a basics course which is awesome if you want to try guided meditation.

    Once you have meditated consistently for a while the next few things I am going to mention will be a lot easier.

    You don't have to be meditating to practice mindfulness. Whenever you are doing something, try and become very aware of one specific thing. When I used to drive I would become very aware of how my car was positioned inbetween the lanes and I would try to get it perfectly in the centre, or I would becomre aware of how the wheels of the car react to me turning the wheel. You know when you were a kid and everything seemed new and exciting, then after a while you just got used to it and blocked it out? Try and rediscover all of those little things. On your commute (if you commute) notice different things about the houses, what kind of trees there are, the cracks in the road. If you are sitting bored somewhere try and become very aware of how a specific part of your body feels, like the your hands resting on your lap, or your legs on the seat, or a bit of hair on your face.

    Next try to become aware of your thoughts. When your mind is racing, step out and observe your thoughts. Don't engage with them or judge them, don't even think any of them are true, just observe. The headspace meditations are really good for this. Also become aware of your feelings. Stop throughout the day to ask yourself 'How am I feeling right now? Sad? Hungry? Tired? Excited?'. Once you can do this you will be able to correlate your thought patterns and your emotions, which is one of the most helpful aspects of meditation. You will realise you don't really believe what you are thinking, you are only thinking that way because you feel a certain way.

    That's all I can think of. You could try reading the power of now, the dude is on some weird shit, but if you don't take everything he says literally there is some very useful stuff in there. Godspeed brother!

    Hey man!
    Thanks a lot for your long and dedicated text.
    I did a lot of strenth training with dumbells etcetera. I was like a spartan bodywise but no there is no motivation nor do I have that mindset anymore.

    Yeah I do meditation 10 min in the morning and night since 5 years ago . It is crucial for me just to get a nice morning and good night routine. I always just focus on the breathing or my thoughts, I think that is so good to take you tie and feel how you are feeling like happy, sad, stressed, sad , anxiety or whatever. However, I will try to do diffrent types of meditations as you say. It is always good to change from time to time.

    The last part of your text have really changed my day, especially today and I am very greatefull for this. I was at work and had a discussion with my collegue and it resulted bad. So instead of becoming more angry because we had a fight and what he and I did wrong etcetera as I usually do. I just thought no, stop, what am I feeling? Just follow my emotions and se what happens. So during the 10 first minutes I was angry , I just wanted to start a fight again with him. after 20 min , I was sad , very low mood and not able to smile to anybody. And after 30 min I was hopefull and acutally did not even care no more about our fight or who was right or wrong. finally 30 min later he started to talk with me again and after 2 hours we where friends again.

    This really blew my mind that in 30 min you can feel profound feelings of anger, sadness and hopefullness. This is first time in my life when I really watched how my thought and emotions patterns are.

    don't give attention to that, just live your life normally, be empty, just be grateful and forget it

    I understand what you say but it is not so easy to think normally when you are not normal , what I mean you cannot live your life normally when you are an addict.

    My normal thinking has kept me as an addict to porn, dating webistes and fast sex. What I need to do is to think in a new way so I will continue porn and online dating free. Today I am 6 day free of porn if I make it over 7 days it will be record for med because the latest 6 months have been bad.

    Hi all,

    I am 14 days PMO free even if my plan was only to be porn free. I feel so good but as well very sensitive with all my feelings.

    However, I just want to share that I have realised that the most important thing is to be honest with your feelings in public, with people and friends. To have the guts to tell someone direct if they hurt your feelings. It is really hard for me to do but I have realised if you do not tell people off you will not be respected. To be quite and strong is not the answer. The answer is to show emotions, be vulnerable and tell people that it is not ok. Even to be mad is ok if that is what you feel. As well, never be afraid to be excluded if you feel hurt and want to react. If a person or persons are treating you bad you should always stand up for yourself.

    And the funny thing is that people respect it, my colleagues at work have improved and they say that they are sorry. I accept that I am sensitive and I let people know that I am sensitive as well so they know how to treat me in the future.

    This is so hard to do and I have a long way to go, but I know it is the right way. To many years of porn have made me passive. Belive it or not but before I was a "bad boy" when I was a teenager. I showed anger and aggression which is not a mature way but still better than to be quiet. But I lost that power once porn/ escort/ internet dating took over my life. It is really sad but 100% true. I understand that now, I need to be honest with my feelings. Otherwise porn will be my comfort of all feelings/energy inside of me.
     
  15. Well ... @Silverson this is what it is about, self improvement. Its not all just quitting porn, its also all the work behind you becoming a better person and learning in a process. Now that is a good progress, keep going fam, you're on a good track.

  16. its sounds like your on the right path. continue to do those things. working out. going on date. and readyng is always a good one. when all this energy comes around you have to be very careful not to get too lost in it. if the urges hit you cant let them get the best of you

    Thank you for your post. However, I think I really need to live my life diffrently, that is actually why I am 18 days without Porn. If I would just go on with life as usual I would relapse long time ago.
