I found that in certain situations, I am more likely to fall into PMO: 1) Listening to music with headphones all day, I guess because it creates a zone which lets me daydream which might involve erotic scenes. 2) Negative emotion, this is one of the toughest. In the last few relapses, I was deeply depressed and I couldn't help resorting to PMO. 3) Alone at home and lying in your bed. When I have nothing to do and start lying in my bed, at one point I just start to touch my junk, and, well, you can connect the dots. 1) I only listen to music when I work out and only dance music. 2) Give myself times to talk to my friends but should not fixate on the issue. 3) Keep a schedule and stick to it.
- Overthinking and overreacting about things - Living in the past (memories with a certain person) - Judging myself for things that I did wrong
I guess perhaps it is better to stay out of the zone. I had the same feeling and it took me so long to realize that, for example, listening to sad music and being antisocial were the triggers of all these happenings. I guess you know what you mentioned is not healthy but you just couldn't get rid of them. Perhaps your life is miserable at the moment that's why you seek for thinking about the good old times with someone to comfort yourself. At least that was what happened to me. My suggestion is to let it go step by step and don't let "oh i don't have time or any similar excuses procrastinate your plan. First, you can start with 5-10 mins meditation. Be open-minded, don't think that is not helpful. Second, exercise! Jogging for 20-30 mins every day without listening to music. Your mind will be so much clearer! Take the chance to live with yourself!
Bro, that's what everyone is doing and that's why lots of people, including myself, are failing from this challenge. But look, you have reached 60 days of no P and M. That's a good thing. However if you spend too much time on doing those things, it might not be so helpful to pursue your goal!
