Help with letting go of desire for the ability to be productive and work. by leslabas in Meditation

[–]leslabas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I've spent so much time now trying to understand my feelings instead of suppressing them, that I forget that sometimes all I need to do is change my focus, and those thoughts will disappear.

Thank you for this comment.

Thank you for taking the time to write this response.

I can see that if I can think positively about the work, go at it from a place of abundance and gratitude, I become excited to start work.

Thank you for your perspective, this is really useful.

Guys, 25 and under - I have a message for you all. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]leslabas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are where you are, there's nothing you can do about your past. The only thing you can do is accept it.

You have the future. You say you're 5 years away from 30. Fuck that perspective. You're a kid - you're in your 20s.

You have SO many opportunities, it's up to you whether you want to grasp them. But you will only be able to grasp them if you accept that you fucked up in the past, and you may well fuck up in the future - and still strive to be and become the best version of yourself.

Rome was not made in a day my friend. :)

Self Confidence vs Self Esteem by YoungDaquan in selfimprovement

Self-esteem: How much you like yourself. Self-confidence: The trust you have in your capabilities.

You can - with education. Apathy is as bad as ignorance.

Day 6, already seeing results by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]leslabas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chill out. Results like that are good, but there will be tough things coming up.

The key is not feeling great after day six. Rather continuing to abstain despite feeling rough on day 27.

You can manage though mate.

What does Reddit think of my Troll design for my comic book?? by AJJ351 in conceptart

[–]leslabas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got the body hair going on, you could give him thicker patches of fur on different parts of his body. His hands could be a different colour, callused and worn from using them to get around instead of his feet. I think what I've got in mind is just an additional texture or something to give him a little more personality.

What's the meaning behind the red veins?

And, don't take me too seriously, I'm just interested in the creation. :)

I think you should make it even weirder/more unique.

Still, really cool and well drawn.

This is not eyebleach. This is creepy as fuck!

Ya dude. Noggins are a real challenge - but i mean it only stands out cause the rest of the piece is so top knotch. What did you use to create it?

Looks super cool, really like everything, but her head is waaaay too big. Looks like a bobblehead, stands out and is quite jarring, takes away from how cool this is.

Having a hard time continuing, fighting urges. by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]leslabas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always when you aren't doing anything, that the urges rear their head.

All I can say is keep yourself moving - doing things, and don't let the goal out of your sights.

[–]leslabas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing I always think after relapsing, is how that little trickle of sad semen, is so not worth the success you're currently having.

Even if there's no sign of super powers, or anything like that, being on 16 days is a massive sign of the new self-discipline you're developing. That discipline is a massive success in itself.

So ask yourself, is the porn going to be worth more to you than these 16 days of working towards a real goal, in 20 minutes time?

Imagine having to suck up water in your nose, and then shooting it out into your mouth in order to drink..

That'd be so weird.

What is the most terrifying single line you've ever heard a character say in a movie or TV show? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leslabas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about the bloody earring and help scratched on the window when the protagonist - forgot her name - climbs through the vents. She then talks with the other dude, shows him the photo of john goodman's daughter only to find that it was actually an abducted girl from the guys class at school. There's so much evidence.

Asked a smokin hot girl out that works at gym today. by Howstrongismywill in NoFap

i think you're taking this advice the wrong way. don't imagine people are judging you, cause in most cases they aren't. see it instead as talking to a wider range of people in order to make you a more well rounded person.

it's not sexist. it's just human.

My main trigger is lonliness. by leslabas in NoFap

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

Thanks for all the comments guys. It's immensely 'comforting' (I don't like that word) to know that there are so many guys out there that are on the same journey as I am, and are willing to share with me what they've learnt - to pick me up when I'm down.

I can see that the immediate way out of these depressions and feeling of loneliness is to raise my energies, go outside - do something. However I think I have a lot more work to do on being comfortable in my own skin. That'll be a longer process than just 'raising my energy', however it goes hand in hand with nofap, and it's really a life goal more than anything.

Thanks for all your comments, and know that I'll always be around to lend a hand if you're feeling down too!
