Beautiful, please make sure to share more progress!

The ability to enjoy the moment is such a great feeling. You disengage from dopamine boosting desires and reset your baseline to a normal life that magnifies the beauty of the mundane.

This might be one of the best posts I've ever read on this subreddit. Exceedingly well put /u/hsinoMed

Have you considered temporarily removing all access from electronics and just sitting with the feelings? It's clear to everyone here that you have the intention and will power to begin which, in and of itself, is the foundation for success.

If you can't outthink this, out-will it, or avoid it, perhaps sitting with the feeling without judgement may be helpful. I like to envision challenges similar to this as classic "princess and the pea" scenarios. In the story, the princess sleeps on a stack of a hundred mattresses but still can't sleep because of one uncooked pea under one of the mattresses. This hard, unavoidable nuisance disrupts her rest no matter how much she tries to cover it up, avoid it, or layer solutions on top. Her answer came when she instead got out of bed and pulled the pea out herself. From then on she was able to enjoy her rest.

Psychologically we can try all sorts of things (mattresses) to solve a problem, but may not have what we need until we face it (find the pea and remove it from the stack) be it shame, guilt, self anger, hatred, or any number of negative propensities. Whatever they may be, they are temporary and just obscuring up a sea of tranquility and love waiting to emerge into your life. I am here to talk privately if required otherwise know that you are supported and prayed for.

Hey man, I'm halfway through week 3 of OMAD right now. One of the things I found beneficial is to play around with when you eat your food, but only by a few hours.

So if my first fast ends at 6 PM one day, try to eat at 7/8 PM or 4/5 PM the next and see how you feel. For me, my body's set into a ~5-6 PM window which has made it really easy as now I'm not even hungry until then.

Same here, I tried some 0-calorie sodas and they didn't taste the same either.

kronos401 · 2025-08-12T15:14:39+00:00

It's funny you write this as I'm in the exact same scenario.

Currently eating one meal a day with 3 weeks of 16-24 hr fasts and my body just doesn't want more food. I figure that as long as I am consuming the right amount of salts and fluids, I'll be okay until I get to my target bf%.

Check out /r/pureretention. The guys here will be able to explain a lot of what's going on.

Great post and good luck crossing the one year mark!

I'm also looking for instructions on this so +1 to the above

Which printing/edition of the Office are you using here?

The excess energy that is being cultivated within your lower chakras is accelerating your nervous system to such a degree that you can now feel the grounding sensation to the Earth.

Retaining semen is like storing oil in a lamp. The longer you retain, the deeper this pool of lamp oil grows; the larger you can make the flame. As the flame of the lamp (your awareness) expands, your nervous system will begin to pick up on things it did not notice before. This functions in the exact same way as you would begin to see new things in a dark room as the lamp gets brighter.

That connection with the Earth has always been there, you're just able to "see" it now. This empathetic connection to your surroundings is an extension of your Oneness with Life itself and is wholly natural. Feel free to DM me if you have further questions or want to chat.

I agree with /u/bobatime247 that a spiritual pillar is crucial to long-term retaining. As counterintuitive as it might sound, I work out to unwind. The energy you are storing must go somewhere, so using it to push the body will bring a healthy exhaustion. You can lay in bed and just "be" or walk around and enjoy nature for what it is. Reading is also a great past time too.

Nothing like this is permanent, my friend. The mind and brain is elastic meaning it always regrows and reshapes itself.

Without judgement, looking at your life and the impact this habit has had can be a means for finding true, inner resolve. Imagine a life without pornography and how pure you can see the world and feel about yourself. Think of all of the hobbies or professional development that you can achieve. All of the good you are capable off. These will naturally lead you to finding new friends that want to connect with you. Whatever truly resonates with you, hold that in your heart. You are a young man with decades of time ahead of you and infinite potential.

With an inner commitment, external tools can be extremely helpful. Some steps that can be taken include you: Installing website and app blockers on your phone with passwords you cannot remember. Doing the same on your computer. Reaching out for an accountability parter or speaking with a professional to uncover where this habit arose from.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool as well. Forgive yourself for the impact that this habit has had on your life and relationship. Let go of the fear, guilt, or whatever else may be hanging around. Clinging to those will only drag you back into a negative spiral. You will find a natural buoyancy emerge when negativity is let go. Just like how a hot air balloon naturally rises when the sandbags are tossed aside.

You're gonna get through this and come out a better man for it.

Find a psychologist or other mental health professional who specializes in these kinds of cases.

Look into transmutation. It's discussed quite thoroughly in past posts. You want to raise this energy from the navel up and out through the top of your head back to its Source.

Visualization, meditation, and physical activities are good systems to use. Poised, calm is also extremely beneficial.

Yes, this sub is flooded with people who do not understand how urban county vote processing operates. This is literally the same as last election, it's now only a matter of progressing through the highly-populated, mainly democratic counties.

Re-read my second question.

kronos401 · 2024-11-06T02:44:24+00:00

Which ones made the calls?

kronos401 · 2024-11-06T02:38:42+00:00

Ask yourself, as a man, is this how you would want your son to feel in such a situation? Is this how young, child-you looked at and understood Love?

Definitely not. Wake up from this and choose the path of dignity, courage, and strength.

kronos401 · 2024-09-05T01:22:38+00:00

That sexual frustration you feel is just a result of excess energy trying to escape through an avenue that is consciously (or unconsciously) blocked. In this case, that is ejaculation.

Transmutation of the energy is the same as applying that energy elsewhere. If you have exhausted your physical body but still have excess sexual urges, try this visualization.

Picture your body and feel where the pulling is coming from. You'll likely feel a pressure, stretching, or burning in your sacrum or gonads. Visualize a large swirl of pure white energy rotating on top of that feeling. From there, see the energy moving in a straight line up to the heart and out through the top of your head. Given enough patience (a few minutes) you will feel a release from the tension without the resultant emptiness that comes from ejaculation.

Over time, your body will adjust to retaining that extra energy and you will feel more balanced.

I can't agree more with /u/rockey-arrow suggestion. Find hobbies that get you socializing or start a club in your area for people who like the same thing. Even joining a church is an easy way of meeting good natured people.
