The daily journaling and self-reflection are already increasing my awareness. My mind knows that Iām going to be writing about my day at the end so it helps me make better decisions throughout the day.
Iām more appreciative of what happens each day as well, with the knowledge that Iām listing down what I was grateful for during the day. I find myself stopping at moments and just enjoying being present.
There is a great deal of work to do, but Iām enjoying the process.

Noticed you were in a tough patch for a while bro. You werenāt posting here and when you did it seemed like you had lost focus on the betterment of your self. Aleast thatās what I saw. Glad youāve woken up again and are living a better life now. Much love bro

@Sacred Thank you very much, bro! And thatās an especially good reminder for me today to focus on whatās most important. GOD bless you brother.
Today I didnāt make as much progress as I could have. Iāve made a plan to do better tomorrow.
Thankfully however, I accomplished much more than I would have in the past. There was a period which had very little healthy activities or self-care, just hours lounging in front of screens and consuming.

Today, I travelled with my friend whoās moving to another city. Usually I would come up with some excuse why I couldnāt go with him, so I could sit at home in my isolation bubble.
Iām better because Iām making better choices.

@PatrickJ @FlowForCourage Thanks brothers!
Nearing the two-week mark again. Energy and confidence are returning.
There was quite a bit of stress today, but some breathing exercises helped me recentre. Iām glad to report that PMO didnāt occur as an option to deal with the stress. No urges, but Iām prepared for when they return.

@forerunner, itās always a pleasure to see somebody improve and strive to get better.
Iāve read some of your posts in this diary, Iāve seen the position from which you started and how you are working to become a better version of yourself.
Now I would like to become one of the companions who read your diary regularly. Your effort is very inspiring.
Keep up the good work

@StevenSuccessJourney Thanks brother, I appreciate that.
The resistance has started, with some stressful events adding fuel. I was at a protest today and it just filled me with anger and frustration, especially knowing that itās unlikely anything would change or get better. There is so much thatās wrong with the world.
I want to maintain my resolve. I want to keep focused on the things that are within my control. I want to focus on all the good things that are in my life and what is right about the world. People come together in supportive communities all the
time, it isnāt all doom and gloom.
First day that some slight urges returned, along with the desire to return to junk food. I held my ground and remembered my values. Another successful day.

Nice job. I feel like that is the biggest recovery point. Life happens. Emotions happen always. We cant step out and give ourselves fake rewards. We have to hang in there. I try to be aware as good and bad happen. We want to feel both and not escape. Its tough for sure but in the end we evolve into the people we should be.

@PatrickJ @ERNOL Thanks, brothers. That has been my biggest challenge, dealing with and managing emotions. I recently heard that there are no negative emotions, the ones that feel uncomfortable are there for a reason also.
Itās the day afterwards but here goesā¦
Iāve been going through the audiobook version of the EasyPeasyWay Hackbook in order to gain insight into what false beliefs have held me back on this journey. Itās a very powerful book - I highly recommend it to everyone.
While out on my walk yesterday, I was enjoying looking at the trees and nature around me and this lightbulb hit me - Iām free right now. Like, Iām actually free. I donāt have to PMO anymore. I can stay like this for my whole life as long as I CHOOSE to be. The only thing that can change that is falling for the old lie Iāve succumbed to hundreds of times āJust one peek wonāt hurt.ā
Just one peek WILL hurt. It always hurts. All it took was one peek when I was 11 to start this whole mess. As long as I remember that thereās no such thing as one peek, I can remain this way.
It feels ridiculous smiling at a tree and thinking, Iām happy right now. But who says you need a reason to be happy? When we are acting in alignment with our values, we can find it easy to be content with who we are.
I realised that even the stressful events Iāve been facing are either maximised or minimised by my own actions. If Iām going through stress, but Iām still performing positive self-care, keeping to healthy habits and a routine of productivity, itās much easier to deal with challenges that come my way.
Hereās a link to the audiobook:

This is the reason i love noPMO. The feels are just wonderful!
Great self-realization brother.
I feel the same.
We have to wisely deal with negative aspects of our emotions. I wrote about it a little. You can view it if you wish:

Iāve noticed it too. Habits provide structure to your life, and create a sense of stability in the periods of most uncertainty or stress.
