Good things to do…

Wherever you are in your rebooting journey, there’ll always be something that will help make it better, easier, more satisfying or enjoyable…etc.
It can be an action, like exercise or self-care. Behavioral changes, like sleep, diet, socializing…
I’m interested to see what everyone is doing that is positively impacting, and changing their ability to overcome their addiction to pmo.
Simple actions such as, today I took a walk, or a cold shower, read a book…anything that you think helps you to improve your rebooting experience.
My hope is that we’ll learn from each other and encourage taking proactive steps towards recovery.
I hope to make it a daily habit to focus on actively working towards recovery.
Please feel free to contribute, but try to keep it short and sweet.
Example:
Today I took a walk. I feel better now and less likely to pmo.
Or, I meditated for a few minutes using an app, and now my urges have disappeared.
Hopefully this will help us all get through this difficult journey to overcome and recover from this terrible addiction.

 

Yesterday, I went out to get some groceries and food. Self loathing prevents me from taking care of myself in a manner that others take for granted. It’s a success for me to think that I’m deserving, and the foundation of my rehabilitation and recovery.

 

I’m developing my ability to have a positive mindset because it’s helpful for overcoming the hurtful thoughts, feelings, and experiences that ruin the beauty of life. I didn’t ask for it, so I won’t accept the negativity that has been heaped upon me anymore.

 

Lately, I’m often tired and low on energy and motivation. By allowing myself to rest, I am physically being gentle with myself; however, mentally it’s challenging not to judge myself harshly.
Understanding that the negative ramifications of punishing myself turns into self loathing, I lean on faith and surrender to the moment.
It’s okay to allow leniency to learn and grow.
Today, I realized that giving myself permission to learn and develop positive strategies for dealing with challenges is a very important and good thing to do.

 

There’s always a chance that I might find a way to change a negative into a positive, so I’m not going to say that negative experiences absolutely ruin things.
Rebooting has a lot of negative aspects, but that’s what makes signs of recovery and progress so sweet.
Having a guitar lesson every Saturday is a reminder that the commitment to be good to myself is important and very beneficial.
I am convincing myself that I really deserve better.
Nofap = being better.
