Discipline

Can anybody give ideas on ways to stay disciplined and not fall off my state of mind? Especially on weekends when I’m doing a lot of nothing.

 

1) Cold showers - every morning or also in the evening -> builds discipline like nothing else.
2) Motivation videos, podcasts every day, reading good books.
3) Some type of movement every day - if you do nothing, it´s just an excuse. Do something instead. Hit the gym. Go for a walk, use your headphones and listen some inspirational speech, audiobook etc. during it. Go shopping, look at people, give them a smile.

 

This is ^^

Nothing works unless you do.

 

GottaProblem,

This above is the general principle. It’s what’s helping me to get away from the PMO lifestyle.

What you need to do is come up with specifics that fit your life, your interests, and your goals.

What do you want to do that interests you? Come up with realistic goals that are a challenge. Start small and work your way up.

If you have zero goals other than getting porn out of your life then you will fail, guaranteed. The reason is you have to find an activity that will fill that void left by quitting porn.

Some detailed examples from my life:

-I have the goal of going out of town once a week on my days off. Might be close, might be far. But I spend down time thinking and planning my next trip.

-I’m getting back into photography and have the goal of regularly editing and posting pictures / videos about cruise ships. I spend down time thinking about where to go photo / video ships and how I’m going to put the picture / video projects together.

-I’m getting into indoor bouldering and wall climbing. The goal is outdoor rock climbing. I spend down time thinking about this new hobby in my life.

These things have started to become a habit in my life.

You need to find activities that will become your new habit instead of PMO.

Hope that helps in some way.
