I havent updated my thread in the last days. I am kind of drunk right now, so i will give an update soon. Right now it wouldnt make much sense.

I woke up early in the last days (7AM-7:40AM). I didnt really meditate and i also didnt workout, but i was keeping myself relatively busy. My examen didnt go too well. I just hope that i passed it. That was my last examen for a while, but i will try to keep myself productive, so that i am well prepared for the next examen period.

In terms of PMO, it was very easy to stay from it. I almost never had urges, just some sexual thoughts. But i was able to get those out of my head with ease. Feeling very confident right now.

So i havent updated in a while, though things have been going fine. For some reason i just couldnt make an entry, but i will update more frequently now again.

In the last days i have been waking up around 8 AM for the most part (sometimes a little bit earlier/later). I havent done much for university, i have spent alot more time for social interactions. Right now i am at my parents place, doing some work for my side job.

I havent had urges in the last days. Even if i have them, i instantly remind myself that porn is useless and that i am free from porn, because it doesnt give me anything.

Great to hear that things seem to be going well

Yes, they are! Thank you! @zeochs

I still have to get back into a some sort of a rhythm though with a daily routine.

The last couple of days i spent at my parents place. I was able to do the things that i wanted to do for my side job.

On Thursday i went to a Taekwando try out training. It was pretty nice and a good distraction from my day, because i felt a little bit down.

I still want to meditate and workout on a frequent basis, but i cant seem to figure that out right now.

I havent had any urge for watching porn at all.

Update: I was pretty lazy in the last days. I still have no problems with PMO and i will never look back!

Yesterday and today i woke up at 9AM, but i will try to start the day earlier again.
In the morning I was able to do some stuff for the household, but the rest of the day was rather unproductive.

I want to do a workout tomorrow and i hope i can convince myself to do it after i woke up. I also want to get back to meditation.

I didnt workout today, because i had aching muscles from my my workout on wednesday.
I didnt meditate in the last two days.
I still have to do some important stuff for university very soon, so i hope i can motivate myself to do that on the weekend.
I had no urges or anything in that regard. I really feel like i get better at controlling my thoughts.

I did another Taekwando training on Sunday. Otherwise i was pretty lazy. This week i have to work alot more for my side job and organise some other stuff as well. So i hope i can do all of the things that i want to do for this week.

It has been difficult to update daily here now for a while. I hope i can change that this week as well.

I basically didnt have urges in like the last 2 weeks which feels relieving to say the least.

Today I have become a non PMOer for 30 days🙌

I wanted to workout today, but somehow just didnt do it. My motivation is still very low. The night before i had a pretty pornographic dream and i was really scared that i would relapse that night. Thankfully i was able to wake up from it before things would get out of hand.

It has been a struggle with my productivity. I somehow just cant start with the things that i want to do for university. I really want to change, but is is so difficult not to do something unproductive like gaming or watching a show instead.

I overslept in the last days. But i was able to work for university at least a little bit. Hopefully i can get more productive in this week. Still no urges, but i still cant bring myself to workout or meditate.

Give yourself a time limit - I will not watch any TV show or play any video game until X time - then focus on the productive work you need to get done.

Even if you tell yourself to start the work for 20-30 minutes, that’s more work than we do on the lazy days, and getting the ball rolling gives us momentum to continue.

Very well said. I will try to start the day immediately. It is just really hard to do that sometimes. The decision to start the day productive vs. watching a video or go on social media is very important for my overall productivity on that day.

On Tuesday i worked for university and today i worked out in the morning. I also went on a birthday today. I am overall satisfied with my progression to be more productive. I was also able to wake up early today while that wasnt the case yesterday.
