    You are abstaining from coffee, junk food, non-learning YouTube, excessive phone use, and PMO while committing to working out and guided meditation before sleep. You're doing this to test and enhance your extreme mental toughness and will maintain a daily journal to track your progress.

    yesterday was really tough, it all started from day before night
    I couldn't sleep. I had huge craving to grab the phone and watch, but I abstained
    So, yesterday felt very bore, lethargy and It triggered my anxiety a bit. I need to be little more flexible in my schedule
    In the Evening I gave up and had chicken rice (junk) + Binge watch + Phone till 12:30 am, ended with masturbation and back to my norm

    What I really want?
    I want to be physically and mentally fit (Healthy) - HEALTH GOAL
    25 LPA package switch - Career Goal

    First comes First
    Dinner and Sleep really important - Should not be compromised...
    Replace phone screen time to career goal - AVG 3hrs spent on phone

    I think he is abstaining from coffee, junk food, non-learning YouTube, excessive phone use, and PMO while committing to working out and guided meditation before sleep. He will be doing this to test and enhance his extreme mental toughness and will maintain a daily journal to track his progress. No idea where you got your wrong assumptions from but you should learn to read man.

    With all due respect brother, you're trying to make seismic changes in your life overnight. As a result, you're experiencing repeated failure, over and over ... which can't be great for your sense of self.

    I would encourage you to pick one important task--whichever one you want--and every day, you make sure you complete that task come hell or high water, with no excuses. As you build up the discipline of doing that one thing, you'll gain self-confidence and you can start looking at adding another habit. The idea is to slowly move your good habits into 'autopilot' mode so you don't have to muster a bulldozer's worth of motivation every time you do them.

    Right now, you're like a guy who's walking into the gym for the first time in his life and trying to bench 280. You're gonna fail over and over until you give yourself some grace and make the weight a little more manageable.

    If i get urges i get a glass of water to hydrate myself and trigger the samen brains reward centre.

    starting to fitness with 10 mins cardio and than some light weight lifting. just to adept my body to the change. Than after a while inget urges to go back to the gym and hydrate myself. Thats neuroplasticity. The rest will follow.

    Even dwarves start small. The smallest beginning has the biggest endings. Honestly true!

    just if you take a shower, In the end start removing warm water and continue the habit! No need to freeze your nuts off right away.
    Try to cook some veggies every dat and eat at least 1 piece of fruit for the beginning.
    Those small steps make you feel good, It will keep you feeling good. It makes you wanna aim for the next ‘win’

    call it dramatic, dont care. Small wins is what we need man! Goodluck to you. Goodluck to me. Goodluck to everyone cutting porn from there lives!
    Poor overpayed hookers that are mote lost in life than we are. And without the camera filters and lingery etc they look like normal human beings. We all throw in our own glasses! Quit porn make the world a better place. Especially for oneself
