Been wanting to start a quarantine edition of this topic but posting here will suffice. Besides nikkas beefing in here over pornography addiction babble post quarantine is the GREATEST OPPORTUNITY to do nofap/porn/hard mode. Hear me out fellas. Before corona in the free world I had built up the longest streak I had ever recorded...3 months. To some that's nothing to me that was astounding. Days, then weeks, then months stacked up the benefits of semen retention. Getting over the hump and realizing certain triggers and cycles can be tuff. A week or two without relapsing was the hardest. Once that is done a month is easy. Just forgive yourself for wet dreams( once a month is fine) and its smooth sailing. Now this was in the free world with people, commerce, nightife being accessible. With those outlets there to quench the thirst. Inbetween that though keeping yourself busy, occupied, and disciplined is the only way. I had no time for porn. That habit suited no purpose in my lifestyle, there were triggers and thoughts then I'd realize going to sleep was best. I'd work full time, find 2hrs+ everyday in the gym, be listening to educational content constantly, and track my progress in life, life vibrated at a higher frequency. At a certain point you mind starts functioning at a level higher than when you watch porn...thats a whole other rabble.
Anyway now that corona happened and another relapse I'm currently in my second week of what is sure to be the longest streak I'll ever record. I look at life as this point is the ultimate reset button. No more shenanigans, everybody is at the same starting point, we have everything we need now. Adjusting my workout to calisthenics was the first hump to conquer now its an everyday thing as oppossed to going to the gym and getting a taste of gym candy. I've picked up bike riding which I hope to incorporate running as well. There's nothing but time and freedom now. I can work on my business. Read all day and night. If you told me at the beginning of the year I'd be able to have the time to really plan and execute my life while the worlds on pause I wouldn't believe it. Its really happening tho. You can manifest your dream now. I work for myself from home like I always dreamed, challenging myself with a 6 day calisthenic routine, biking for leisure up to 10 miles on the humble, reading/listening to books in my free time, rewatching an episode a day of The Wire like fine wine
, trying out new recipes while counting macros.
Now is an opportunity to become a new beast but the same animal for the new world. Already I'm beginning to notice a higher level of discipline without as many outlets to go to. If anyone wants to chop it up or feel tempted I am always open to discussing and giving advice. The foundation is control/discipline. Start with food and build from there is all I'll start with.....
