    I like to read, download movies, go to the gym. I used to paint but setting it up is quite time consuming. I used to like 'making' games but that got tedious, so now I play the odd game on steam when I feel the urge.

    I would like to try a few days without the internet but I'm not sure how successful I would be. I feel like if my mind is not distracted I would just pace the house or something.

  5. I work out, read and listen to music because I gave up weed, drinking and PMO.

    I gave up weed but that was only because it was getting dangerous to acquire, also gave up smoking for health reasons although I vape a lot now haha.
     
  7. Workout then take a blazing hot sauna bath..

    Or just take a burning hot sauna bath directly and then taking an ice-cold shower.

    Makes you feel like you been hit by a thousand tons of bricks.

    I meditate. It removes anxiety and stress from my life. Once you learn to be in the moment and to not stress about the future, it goes a long way. Aromatherapy helps, too; I like to burn incense.
     
  9. Drinking was easy but ive been smoking on the regular for 20 years. I had to quit weed for a pre employement drug test. Since I quit weed I have damn near no interest in PMO so I may quit for good. I definitely wont go back to doing it regularly.

  10. Reading and meditation. Also I like playing with my dog (golden), she's the best.

    I am currently sitting on a beach by myself as the sun is setting hearing and watching the waves go by. Theres a slight breeze, it feels really good.

    I keep relaxation to a minimum during the day if I can help it. I relax when I'm asleep and If I'm relaxed then I'm not achieving my fitness or career goals. Once I meet those goals I'll move on to a relationship goal.

    The only time I really try to relax is when I feel I may relapse and other methods like working out don't help. Then I watch my favorite tv show or play a quick round or two of a game. This seems to replenish my will power and fight on. Also being on this forum helps me relax my nerves when feeling down about my porn problem.

    Listen to relaxing music, read a book or go out for a walk. Those in particular help me a lot in distracting my mind and deal with the stress of the amount of things i generally have to do.
     
  17. By listening to smooth classic, chill music or some jazz. Going for a walk in the forest and watching the sea can be relaxing too.
