30 DAYS NO MUSIC CHALLENGE

lol. good one.

 

music is definitely NOT like porn. the dopamine spikes are not that high but if someone binges on music all day long, then, in my opinion, they can mess up their reward circuitry in a somewhat similar way.
and the thing is that the endless music at one's fingertips is a relatively recent invention. so i think that this pleasurable activity is being overly indulged in by the masses.
i would say that even binging on football matches, tv shows ( or any other pleasurable activity) is not a good idea.
but still these activities are definitely not as bad as porn ( for the simple reason that sex is the most intensely pleasurable activity there is ).
so in the end when it comes to music, although i am avoiding it, i would say - to each his own.

 

imma start again day 0 hard mode

 

Hello I had started no PMO 3 days ago, and 30 days without Facebook 2 days ago. For me is an interesting challenge because I noticed that with the excuse of music I lose to much time and leave my homeworks.

 

I'm on my 17th day and been busy studying for my exams in may so haven't had urges for music

 

Today was my first day but while I was having dinner my grandma was watching a music show "The Kids Voice", in my opinion it's is not my fault . I'll keep trying.

 

Don't be too harsh on yourself you're doing really well! I also relapsed today and feel horrible atm. Also I've noticed after every relapse I crave for sugars like crazy don't know why.

 

For me it's the most interesting challenge! I received congrats in a class for me great homework!

 

I'm on my 21st day and haven't had any struggles

 

Hello everyone, today I received the best score of my Economic Colombian History test. Let's go!

 

imma start again day 0

hardcore mode, nothing not even instrumal, but if I hear it unintentional the, it doesn't count

 

How about no YT or any media channels or sources like that for 30 days? I think that is were i always get music from these days.

 

Well, you can "get away" with that as long as you do not continue to hang on FB and waste time looking for song after song or funny clips or what have you that might be of immidiate interest. Watch the seminar, then shut it down is my advice, which can be taken or leaven

 

Yes. Totally agree. However I relapsed once listening to music with very triggering content. So I have to be more careful. But at the same time. Music is much better than PMO. And I feel the feelings in my body when I listen to something that touches me. Then I can start to cry if I am in reboot. If I am in relapse I don't feel anything. So I think I should continue listening to music.

 

I can relate to that. Although it affects me much the same regardless of my reboot/relapse status. It is healthy to cry.
