Day 100 Congratulations on the helmet @Jo_Fabstronaut! Thanks @hollyman Good to see you're doing well in the world of NoFap too
Day 15/35 Rough times. A Lockdown is upon my business and i must decide what to do. There was tough conversation with my colleagues and i needed inspiration. I did 5 rounds of wim hof breathing. I had higher expectations, but lets give it a few more tries. Starting a book called Creative mind. It is overly spiritual maybe, but i will circumvent my inhibitions and give it a listen. Going to bed some 2h earlier than the usual 4am. The discord Mastermind group is giving me good influence and i am focusing on personal development again, i noticed today. Also little epiphany: a man must always expand himself, cross the boundary of the comfort. One with the tasks: do unpleasant tasks, and feel like a warrior winning battles. Two with projects : solve different problems, so you keep your fluid intelligence sharp. The mind gets dull and accommodated when the challenge is already known.
Day 17/37 On the reset thing: lately I dreamt of girls sexualy with no ejaculation. So yeah, with reset it is possible to reduce wet dreams. Lately I have enough tasks to keep me busy. And with keeping up to date i dont have time for starcraft2 and youtube videos. The good thing is that nofap community discord gives me the dopamine and feeling of resting, that i used youtube for. And I am watching Mandalorian almost immediately, last two weeks
Day 103 check in. Made the 100 days! For now I will remain unpainted, maintaining the natural silver sheen of the Beskar alloy. Thanks @hollyman and @Jo_Fabstronaut for your encouragement The day counter app on my phone had frozen for a couple of days, so I just updated my last post - it was actually day 100, not 98! That sounds tough. Thanks for sharing. Also yep I agree, we've gotta keep the pedal to the metal, so to speak - continuing to challenge/push ourselves outside our comfort zones. Otherwise we can stagnate, get bored, lose that spark that keeps us feeling alive and motivated.
Day 35... Survived No Nut November... Last three days I went out with friends... they all say that I look neat... Feeling fresh and more confident Next check point: December 12 ; Motivation: Niece Birthday
Day 105. I'm so exhausted, mentally fatigued these days. I've had a hectic couple of weeks, and my sleep and exercise routines in particular need work. I'm still doing daily meditation, bible reading, cold showers etc, but these two have been pretty erratic. It's probably both a symptom and a cause of my exhaustion and low motivation. (That and other life stressors - studies, broke up with gf, social commitments like being a groomsmen in a few days and all the planning that goes along with it, and health stuff like finding out I'll need surgery on my foot). Still, I'm pushing forward. And I've been reminded over and over and over again how blessed I am to have so many supportive people around me. I had so many friends and family come to my baptism a couple of weeks ago, and many who know that I've really struggled this year have been checking up how I'm going. After church on Sunday night a guy I know just came up and hugged me out of the blue haha. So yeah...this is my life right now...worn out, but supported, and trying to count my blessings.
