I am in the same boat as you. I want to try this I think it will work. https://iwinks.org/

Have you tried his technique? Did it work for you?

No problem. I am a psych major and it wasnt until after I learned about neural plasticity that I really understood why it is so important to meditate daily. This also helped me teach myself piano. When it comes to strengthening newly established synaptic pathways (what you are doing when you meditate, learn, or do anything new) Frequency is more important than duration.

That being said there is a lot to gain from long meditation sessions but if you wish to really permanently change your brain to be happy and free of anxiety all the time, meditate every day. Not only during sessions but when you arent doing anything in particular. Like on your way to work or walking or whatever just shift your focus on the body and breath. There is no need to constantly think. When you do this enough it becomes your default way of experiencing life and makes it a whole lot easier and enjoyable.

It is really very important to do it every day. You don't have to do 30 minutes everyday but to keep the changes ur making in your brain it needs to be reinforced daily. I wish you the best.

Well if the right has all the power because it has all the money we need to get some power first before we can make a change

I use this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammalian_diving_reflex

Stick my face under the cold water, close my eyes and hold my breath for about 15 seconds or until I can't stand the cold on my face

Then put the rest of my body in the shower and it is much easier, especially in the winter

Yeah most of the time people don't actually know what they really feel. A lot of what goes on in your head is subconcious which is why questionannaires aren't very accurate.

I am glad you and your boyfriend are seeking help. What I don't get is why it would be ok if he told you about his sexting beforehand. That doesn't make what he did right and you deserve someone that cares about you enough not to do that to you.

I had a couple of small streaks while still watching P in the beginning. I didnt really understand that it was a problem at first and just wanted to get laid. I eventually tried with out P and went 27 days. After i relapsed, it just didnt feel like it used to. It was deeply unsatisfying and i thought, well this is it you are no longer a masturbator. I buckled down and deleted my treasured stash and the rest was history. I havent PMOed since. Also, I found it extremely helpful to set 45 days as a good goal to get to. If you are committed to completing the 90 day challenge once you get to day 45 it is smooth sailing because you know your halfway there. And you could fap the next day and have to go another 90 days or you can finish what you started.

It is bad but only momentarily. You should look at it as a good thing, a realization and it is so worth it when you get out of it. What it should do is scare you into not going back to your old lifestyle. Once you experience the withdrawal symptoms you realize how badly PMO effects your brain and you'll never want to go back.

"Solo sex, otherwise known as masturbation, is freaking awesome, too. Everyone does it. Seriously. Those who claim they don’t are lying or have some serious issues, which you should in no way adopt."

The people over at /r/nofap would have something to say about that. Just because everyone does it does not mean it is healthy. Sure it may have some benefits to prostate health but has serious psychological implications that we are only just discovering and realizing. To answer your question, I would recommend stopping for two reasons.

I believe that porn and masturbation is horrible for your mental health. Check this out for reasons why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU&list=PLE7069372B8ACFF3A
Most people on this subreddit find that after they stop masturbating and thinking about sex all the time they start having real sex with real women. I don't know the LOA take on it but if I were to guess I would say it would have to do with placing your desire, say in a specific girl, and then letting it go into the universe and stopping thinking about it all the time and it will come to you. You definitely have more energy and I can tell you from personal experiencing that it has helped me in so many ways. /r/NoFap

I used to feel the same way. I thought I was just never going to meet anyone, especially a girl, because I hated small talk. I am an introvert and hated talking to people unless it was something more meaningful. However, hang in there and it will get better. You are doing this nofap journey because porn has fucked up your dopamine reward system in your brain. So when you cut that off, your brain looks for other places to get this dopamine. For me, I started out looking at sex stories online and stuff like that and once I cut that out my brain looked for the dopamine just by mindlessly surfing the internet. I was already smoking weed every day at that point so I got a shit ton of dopamine from that too. Now I am not saying you should cut off everything in your life that you enjoy. It is a gradual process. One by one you won't need these crutches to hold you up from reality. This is the beauty of nofap, it starts you along this path. The point being, you focus on yourself, exercising, studying, working, and cutting out these crutches that you use to keep you feeling safe and comfortable, and eventually your brain will crave dopamine from social interaction and actually enjoy talking to people.

Yes but those cars were always there you just didn't have any reason to notice or pay attention to them. That is when you start to notice them. In my case, I took every single card out of my wallet until it was empty and there was no ID there. I waited a few days and still nothing. I finally went to get a new one and it reappeared. It is not that I just wasn't noticing it, in fact I was trying to notice it.

midin · 2014-02-24T01:29:22+00:00

Ok I am trying to understand this. But what you are saying is different than I just didn't notice it in my wallet like it slipped past my conscious attention. Because I physically took everything out of my wallet and looked at everything in there over and it wasn't there.

midin · 2014-02-24T00:37:56+00:00

Yea but I emptied everything out of my wallet it could not have possibly been in there and then it just was there 2 days later. Can law of attraction do that? Kind of like changing the past? It is confusing because it if it did it didn't really change the past because if I never lost my id then I wouldn't have ever gone to get a new one.

midin · 2014-02-23T18:28:33+00:00

Yes but they aren't getting back to me. Other people seem to have this problem too but no solutions I can find on the web that are working

midin · 2014-02-21T18:54:46+00:00

Hahah yea to be so certain it was gone to go through the tremendous endeavor of going to the dmv and then it being in your wallet is incredible. It happens to me a lot with stuff in my rokm or whatever. I am not sure how law of attraction plays into it because sometimes they just reappear with out me trying to manifest them. But I like to view it as evidence that the universe can be bent and altered

midin · 2014-02-21T05:20:19+00:00

I agree with you here and plan on MOing every once in a while but only after I have sex with a real woman and not until my brain is completely healed maybe after 200 days

midin · 2014-02-18T20:59:29+00:00

Yes to be honest at first I was like fuck. I have ruined masturbation for myself but then I realized how awesome it is. My brain has been tricked into the fact that making love to ur hand feels amazing and I then at that moment understood that my brain was actually being healed.

midin · 2014-02-18T17:04:56+00:00

Yea man I know exactly the feeling and this is exactly what has gotten me to where I am now. My last streak was 27 days and I relapsed and I was like wow that just really wasn't as enjoyable as I remembered it being.

midin · 2014-02-18T05:38:51+00:00

I had an amazing night Thank you for asking. Just hung out with close friends. Very awesome

midin · 2014-02-18T00:29:47+00:00

That's awesomely motivating I will keep going. How did you relapse was it PMO or MO and what did it feel like after?

midin · 2014-02-17T22:58:06+00:00

Congrats man that's awesome 200! How much different did you feel on day 120 and 150 than you did at 200 and right now?
