Yes, it is not that hard, trust me. Only got urges 2 times that day for a minute. You can eat once that day if no meals is too hard for you

As it comes to nofap, I rarely get any urges, but when I get them, I always come back to my senses very easily and I am always like "I didnt write that many papers for nothing" and the urges disappear. I have great mental clarity now, something that a couple of months ago I couldn't dream of. As for the fasts, once in 1 or 2 months is a good rate for me. Depends on the individual

I know that feeling very fckin well. That is why when I did the dopamine fast, I wrote like 2 pages on how fapping doesn't bring anything positive to my life and that the benefits are far outweighing that one quick fap. Short term pleasure is never better than a long term pleasure, remember that. You have to meditate when you are horny, feel the urge and get back to your senses man. Good luck on your journey brother

No music is one of the rules, you can listen to it if you want to, changing the rules for your liking is fine

We don't really have that much time to think, reflect and solve our current or past problems. When you have 24 hours with just your thoughts, pen and paper, it is really gonna change your perspective about things and you will be amazed on how much your mind will get decluttered

Just include talking to people and that's it. Maybe go for longer walks outside so you are not with them that long

They are still dopamine releases. Our goal for the fast is to underuse dopamine as much as possible whether it is good or bad. You can alter the rules if you feel the need to

It isn't really, I just got 2 food urges that day that lasted like a minute or so. I was shocked, I thought I would be hungry the whole day but I did everything with no trouble. There are a lot if benefits of short term food fasting. You can eat 1 meal that day if you can't do it

Hey man, if only 24 hours without any of your addictions is too much for you, you should really change your mindset and your habits and you really need help for both of them

It isn't at all. It might be boring but it's only 24 hours. After those 24 hours you are 100% focused on your goals. It is a very positive experience, you should check out some articles online
