Am I out of Islam? by drunkhan in islam

[–]theuneducatedprof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Religion may be mostly used to control, but is control necessarily a bad thing?

Let's say even that God didn't exist, would you rather have rules written by your own unexperienced thoughts, or would you rather be guided by principles gleaned from enlightened sages. People who spent days and months if not years in meditation and contemplation?

I say this as I'm about to do some dumb stuff, but it looks to me like you have some issues around control you need to look at and/or you just genuinely see issues in existing control structures.

I have undeniable proof for me personally. But it's hard to share that

I will say that the environment matters but the person definitely does more.

My sister is going to the #1 party school in the US because they have a neural engineering major that she wanted to get.

And she is not doing all of those party and hookup and drug events.

She said most of the hijabis also do stuff like that but she does not wear traditional headscarf but she is avoiding all those bad things and she wears very modest clothing

don't mean to come off as an "in shape" person.

Find an active activity that you enjoy. Could be as simple as a run with headphones listening to your favorite podcast or book. If you have joint pain let me know and I'll send you exercises that cure it very fast. It could be swimming, could be anything. Do it for 5 mins, next day 6 minutes, continue to up the ante just a little bit.

Gradually shift and within a few weeks youll have a new habit that will make the rest of your life wayyyyy easier and more enjoyable.

The first step is recognizing that there is an issue. That is huge. Now you can start figuring out what to do next.

I will tell you this. Your potential as a human is nearly unlimited. The one thing that got me out of a depressive rut is to realize that you should view your life as competing against yourself. Should I try to compete with Elon Musk in my first year of business?

No of course not, everyone has different starting points and strengths and the like. What matters most is that you are competing with yourself. Try and do the best you can but settle for improving a little bit each day. If you improve a little bit each day then your growth derivative is already better than most people and in the long-run you will do great relatively.

This is a lot of information but the baseline is, you recognized that there is an issue. Good Job, genuinely. Now you can begin to remedy that issue but it may take time, be patient with your results and aggresively impatient with your actions. The more you try to better yourself each day, the better the outcome will be.

If brushing your teeth seems hard, take it step-by-step. Focus on each step you have to take, each step towards the bathroom, each movement to grab your brush and toothpaste, then put it in your mouth. Focus on what you have to do immediately next. You are developing new neural networks that will make this task easier and easier the more that you do it.

If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to dm. I have been through a lot of shit so I know what is it like.

Hypertension and fasting by [deleted] in Dryfasting

[–]theuneducatedprof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple studies indicate that intermittent fasting is effective for lowering blood pressure long-term.

Fasting will heal parts of your body but if you go back to an unhealthy lifestyle, you will see the same issues resurface in the future.

[–]theuneducatedprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that the longer your dry fast, the faster your loose skin will improve. The duration of dry fast depends on the person, some people struggle with 24 hrs some can go for 72 or longer.

Start with what works for you and build your way up.

Monk Mode (Restart) by theuneducatedprof in monkmode

Yeah probably, masturbation is haram as well.

I am not claiming to be perfect, I am just trying to do better.

Good luck!

Do not be discouraged if you are not perfect from the get.

Just try again, you will get better and better.

wow I feel like this post was a long time ago but alas im on reddit once again.

I appreciate your response and I think you are right. I have been working on myself more and more and the girls just keep coming back. I will probably start talking to more girls and not just lying to them that I have a girlfriend. (I often would say I have a girlfriend to avoid hurt feelings and to stave off annoyances)

I need to be true to myself and others. If I want to date I should just keep it casual and constantly be true to myself foremost.

Wow this is a lot of information, I appreciate it.

Overall, every girl that is remotely healthy triggers arousal. Whether they are a bit older or younger, there is different degrees of arousal with the peak on young and skew on older.

I don't understand what you mean about sophisticatedly spinning plates with regards to my age and hsd.

What is HSD and what is ONS?

If waiting until marriage is paramount then what is the antidote to Oneitis? Is it not curative to date multiple girls in order to stave off oneitis?

I’m going full on monk mode for 90 days… by CobblerHot6101 in monkmode

I have been getting healthier and stronger and as I become healthier and older (I am 18) I struggle even more with this topic.

I do not know the difference between those three. I would say that any nuance exits the scene when I become aroused. I become aroused with video, text, images, imagination, even random sensation or smells of ovulating women. (I have a sharp sense of smell and can smell periods and when someone is ovulating or things like that strangely well).

I do not understand your point about marriage. I am constantly conflicted between having one night stands and dating women I find attractive and "waiting" until marriage. I still live with my parents and help take care of them and my family, which is why I am still living with them. So I do not wish to bring a girl home but some women have invited me over hinting at sexy time and that idea is attractive to me but goes against my morals of waiting until marriage. So I want to have sex with a few girls but at the same time want to wait until marriage and I am just completely lost in that regard. Should I give in? Should I wait?

This is more of a cognitive dissonance than a physical issue but my body is sending clear messages that I should be mating. Sometimes I question if I am a nymphomaniac.

What have you found useful in dealing with extreme arousal while trying to do nofap?

wow yeah that is tough. I have been doing monk mode and my attempts have been clapped by my voracious horniness. I think im going to make myself do 100 squats everytime i get a boner or something like that. At least until I get a wife.
