    I like this. I think it's a bigger commitment than the original idea, but I'm up for that commitment (not sure everyone else would be though, the simplicity of the original challenge is great). If you were to do it, I'd like to have something for Saturday and Sunday too, even if it were just Gratitude Attitude.


    My three for the day:
    1. Grateful for having had the opportunity to see Morrissey sing live last night.
    2. Grateful for having being blessed with the ability to question my own decisions and actions
    3. Grateful for my fiance, who continues to be wonderful in many ways, and who is also looking extremely sexy right now :D

    1. I'm grateful for my skin. The largest organ of the human body, it is responsible for keeping all my internal bits and pieces held in my body. Without my skin, my internal organs would be all over the floor right now. Cheers, skin!
    2. I'm grateful for my granddad. I look up to him; he is a role model for me. Despite his flaws, he is a wonderful human being whom I have a ton of love and respect for. May he live for many more years to come.
    3. I'm grateful for oxytocin. The love chemical. The neurotransmitter that facilitates kindness, empathy and caring in animals (esp. mammals). We need more of it in the world, but I am still very glad that we have the amount we have right now!
    Good article for those interested in the study of gratitude: Gratitude Without God (The Atlantic)

    Don't worry. It doesn't have to be stuff that makes you fall over with joy. It can be just 1's or 2's on the happiness scale. If even that is too challenging, just think of stuff that you could imagine being much worse than it is, and basically give a note of thanks for it being that way and not the worse way.

    Thanks that will make it alot easier for next time ;)

    I have tried it before but it actually triggered negative feelings maybe because i was trying to hard to be positive about it.

    Yeah, don't try and force it. Just be nonchalant and casual about it. Just focus on setting a gentle intention to feel gratitude rather than actually feeling gratitude. Your brain will start rewiring as you do it consistently over the next couple of weeks, and soon feeling gratitude will become a much more natural part of your everyday experience.

    1) I am grateful for having the courage to stand up to the minds on the forum who oppose goodness, virtue, and honour and just want to get laid by the first female who is willing to drop their pants for them, may you stumble upon my Wisemen thread and have the dishonorable views of sex slapped right out of you

    2) I am grateful for all the support from my kung fu brothers and Master

    3) I am grateful for having come upon this video today,

    1. I'm grateful that I got a little bit of sleep (~3hrs) last night. It could have been so much worse. I could have stayed up all night worrying sick to death (in sweltering heat), and not achieved a single wink of shuteye. But that didn't happen. I got lucky! Three hours of sleep is better than nothing!
    2. I'm grateful for the breath. In...out. In...out. In...out. In we take oxygen, out we expel CO2 waste. If your breath is taken away from you, then you become deader than a doornail. If the breath were a person, I would not hesitate to buy that person a bottle of the finest scotch in the house.
    3. I'm grateful for my closest friends. My close friends have been by my side since primary school. I want to thank them for residing with me this whole time. I can count on them for anything. They are amazing. They are awesome. May they have a happy life.

    1. That my fiance has the patience and perseverance to have difficult conversations with me. She's sticking by me and I'm extremely grateful
    2. For my closest friends. They all live in different countries but they are all there for me, amusing me, supporting me.
    3. For cheap prosecco at my local Aldi. €1.99 a bottle? Don't mind if I do.

    I woke up feeling kind of depressed today. I think this is what I just needed.

    I am thankful to still be located in a country with one of the most scenically-beautiful and variable landscapes imaginable today. America.
    I am grateful and thankful for my family, even though we often than not don't always seem to get along, which is sad.
    I am thankful for my relative health, a quiet apartment to sleep at night and, still the opportunity to go and choose what I want for my life...

    1. I'm grateful I haven't been banned from the forum, I am so anti-porn and anti-fap I probably came off as a Nazi or something hahaha ironically I need to calm down

    2. I am grateful for the bar of 85% organic fair-trade dark cacao I am about to rapidly ingest, the entire 3oz. bar at once (cacao is a passion of mine)

    3. I am grateful for having mental clarity and contentment

    1. I'm grateful for my FitBit. It counts my steps, logs my sleep, graphs my progress, and comes with a food diary to boot. FitBits are awesome!
    2. I'm grateful for the clothes in my wardrobe. If I didn't have them, I would have been arrested for indecent exposure and thrown in prison a long time ago. That or I'd be dead from hypothermia, as we've had one of the coldest winters in a long time here.
    3. I'm grateful for the earth's magnetosphere. It shields us from harmful electromagnetic nasties from space, which would fuck us up badly if we were exposed to them. Thanks for protecting us, mother earth!

    1. I've said it before, but I'm grateful for this thread. It's great. Thanks @BingeArousalAddict!
    2. I'm grateful for homemade lemon, ginger and organic honey tea. It's lush and it's helping me fight off a cold that's brewing.
    3. I'm grateful to a lady on the forum who I've never met. My fiance has been struggling with some strong emotions caused by my struggles with PMO. She saw this lady's journal on the Partners section, and decided to message her. This lovely lady, who neither of us know from Adam, has reached out and sent her two lovely long messages back.
    4. I'm grateful for my fiance for continuing to be awesome, sexy, and excellent at making lemon, ginger and organic honey tea
    5. I'm grateful for my sister, who is becoming a support to me that I never expected
    6. I'm grateful for unending numbered lists
    7. I'm grateful that the NoFap Academy exists: I joined today and I think it's the next step in my recovery
    8. I'm grateful that I've run out of things to be grateful for because I need to go to bed
    See you tomorrow!
