Stop worrying about not being perfect

No one is perfect, not you, not me, so you can relax about that.

The length of your streak is the measure of your success, not your failure.

In the past, you fapped every day (or more!), but now maybe you can do 7-day streaks.

​

So normally you would fap 7 times per week, but during a streak, you only fap once!

This is progress.

Over the year that would only be 52 faps instead of 365!

Progress.

Now aim for 8, 9, and 10-day streaks and beyond.

Struggling? Try for 2, 3, and 4-day streaks and beyond! They add up to.

​

Do you see? You’re improving quickly, your life is changing.

Just keep going and remember to REPLACE your pornfap habit with new, fulfilling, healthier activities!

It makes sense. Good way of thinking.
Maybe if you see the things with positivity you will be more successful even in nofap

I like this way of thinking.

I think here on this forum we focus a little bit too much sometimes on the streak itself, yes it’s great to use it as a goal and ultimately we want our number to be infinity. However this also sets us up for great feelings of failure eg. “I lost my xx streak I will never reach that stage again” or “it’s just a small streak I can relapse”

I feel like the priority should always be to just NOT RELAPSE TODAY - doesn’t matter if you’re on day 1 or day 100. Any day that you do that is a success. Multiple successes and you get a bigger success, and before you know it your life is changing.

Or just have 90% clean mentality. As in 90% of a week, month or most preferably year.

Because in other IRL scenarios, we don’t have 100% criteria for getting selected anywhere.

It’s always 90 or just a tad above.

Nice words! A very compassionate view of seeing our addiction. It’s important we can pardon ourselves and gives a change to overcome this issues and become happier men.
23hrs of nofap I’m feeling great.
