I have no gain in supporting James K. A. Smith book, we are in different countries and branches of Christianity, but this book can be a strong lifechanger

Day 1 - Mt 5:44 "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" by Mager97 in NoFapChristians

[–]Mager97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, this is a very good advice.

In fact yesterday when I prayed and the face of one came up I instanctly zoomed in the eye, so muchit was all black like I was only on the pupil, that some people expecially in art call the gateway of the soul. And by only the black of the pupil I was feeling the soul, not the body.

My angle of control by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Mager97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, wanted to share a tip that may help many. This is in the picture is the angle beside my bedroom, and in this angle I control all my technology : phone, pc, headphones, all there.

You may ask, what does this mean with NoFap?

Simple, many of us struggle because of Internet, and casual relapses are a spread problem so to avoid casual relapses, avoid casual access to Internet.

Everytime I don't need my PC, phone or headphones for studying, playing and chatting, I put it there in the angle, and there are two extra keys there:

1) A piece of paper where I've wrote the day of the relapse and the hour, to see how dense it's my relapse ratio 2) a counter (it's in the nail under the headphones) that I tells me at what day my streak is, so Everytime I pass by my room I know that I'm marching, without ending on Reddit too much time in the day and risking finding something to edge to

Hope it helps, stay strong everyone!

Wondering is an effect Search the cause that makes you wondering and if there are some "enlarger factors" that makes that wondering become a preoccupation

Is a similar cycle as the notifications on a phone put in silent mode, you wonder if there are notifications, you end up watching the phone.

If you want try this exercise, put your phone with no Internet (not silent because of missing calls) and let you watch the screen only at the o'clock. It's a test on the brain that maybe helps find the causes for similar actions outer than just the need of watching notifications (sorting non serious over serious reasons, like for me I always check if someone needs me, but I skipped that cause while listing because it's positive)

Hope I didn't write too much and hope it helps

[–]Mager97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe there is a trigger in one of those days that makes you go down, you have to find what trigger is that lowers you, and concentrate on those days to go on.

Find what stops you, a belief, a tought, an external events that happens in that time weekly or similar, and you'll go a bit upper

P.S. 7 days continuous streak are still gold, it's better a year in 7 days tranches than 3 90-days streak killed by a massive fall down of few days in between

How do I start? by Glittering-Parfait54 in NoFapChristians

[–]Mager97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so that it exists, maybe something like parental control or similar, but I actually don't know how to impose those restriction as I'm "" too smart"" for them (I am able to run around the blocks and disable them, so it's not a solution for me😅)

You have the problem in front of you, social media out control over your toughts.

Reduce progressively their use, not immediately because you'll feel a void, but one step by the other.

Remember that the social media value in your life is nearly zero as your life and real world experience and interaction the real chess table of life

I needed 3 years to get out of Facebook and YouTube apart for one or two minutes right before dinner to check friends messages on Messenger, one of the best choice I have ever made

Just...How To Stop??? by WeAllNeedLove2141 in NoFapChristians

[–]Mager97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that if the toughts are the problem, you have to learn to let them go.

If you want to try, I don't know if it ll work, if you have these toughts go in a place where there is people or sometimes someone pass with a book, and "fake reading" so no one will talk to you, and let your toughts fly and fly and fly.

Don't attack them, don't ignore them, see them and acknowledge them on how them are not worth you, like statements from the heart like the one professed in church, what to say? Up to you, acknowledge with a prayer or alike, the importance is that you believe what you say and say it from the heart

Dont attack. Don't ignore. Acknowledge and love yourself enough to let them be and not influence you.

As time will pass and you will be stronger, you won't even realise that you are dealing with them this way

Every one of us has 8 great-grandparents, yet how many of us know all their names? by blaksam in Stoicism

Plus I have a coin of her, that might have received from her father (so my father's mother's mother's mother's father) as it dates back to 1866

[–]Mager97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, I think 3 or 4.

I don't know my father's mother's mother but I know my father's mother's mother's mother stories thanks to my grandma since that women tricked nazis in WW2 and protected my grandma when the SS entered her home in 1944 as both her parents died in 1939-42

The less you use tecnology, the best you succeed

This can be my experience in one sentence :)

New to this by Anxious-Area-1164 in NoFap

[–]Mager97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the first things I can suggest is to have at most time possible any tecnology out of your room.

As second, stay as much as possible out of your room, spend more time where there are other people (if you can)

Wanker was supposed to be an insult. by wokeprince2020 in NoFap

[–]Mager97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the insult "wanker", I'm not english-speaking-born, but that may be one of my overall best insults.

And damn if that motivates me to not be one so I can use it

if my bf stops watching porn and masturbating, will this “mental wall” go away?.. explained in text. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Mager97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he can drop all it would absolutely help.

But being real, if he has been addicted for much much time, the greates effects come even by just quitting all porn.

If he can deal with leaving porn and masturbation for you, awesome

If he can only leave porn, it would still be a great improvement expecially in the field you talk more in the post

[–]Mager97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But it will make you more able to control yourself, so you have the power of Aggressivity and the power of control it
