No one wants to slap ya lol
Tuesday
All good. Had an intense day, visiting some companies for a master that I’m following at my university, maybe in the near future I will be working in one of them, who knows!
No strong temptations in this period, need to not let my guard down! I would like to dedicate more time to prayer, need to work on that in the following days.
Thanks for keeping me tagged in all the posts even though I haven’t been around recently. I’m on day thirty four. Still not ready to add mini challenges back in.
Tuesday
Really glad you guys are doing well, and life is just happening
@Gk-00 @Forodwaith @Forerunner
Forodwaith - You’re really welcome and pleased to hear from you
It sounds interesting and exciting - Gk-00
And happy we’re riding a new streak together.
@Rebooter81 well, at the time, it was one of those moments I craved for a “Pull yourself together man”
So today,
Work - transcribing/learning. My final deadline is the end of next week - I’m not anxious or nervous, but I want to put my heart & soul into it.
I went to Tai Chi class - it’s been a few weeks
And some of my usual exercise routine.
I spent a lot of today writing out my story - it just came naturally, and was a good experience.
I didn’t go to Church, or consciously pray, though days feel long and I can’t remember everything. We probably pray more than we realise @Gk-00
But I admit, it’s beautiful and virtuous to make dedicated time for pray.
It’s been a good day.
I’m leaving thoughts to one side for now.
I’d like to see 30 days on my counter and regain that apathy for P.
I want a gf, definitely, someone I can love!
I’m gonna do it
Thank be to God for today
Thursday
Sorry guys, I made a stupid mistake and just relapsed. I was a fool, let myself wander too much on the phone before going to bed. Sorry @anon67854825 for lasting such a short time on my streak , I want to try again and follow you from behind
Overall it was a good day, been out and about.
Tomorrow working at university, it will be a busy day, don’t want to give in to the relapses again!
Wednesday - giovedì?
@Gk-00 Those that are last shall be first
@Forodwaith @Forerunner
I got up early this morning, the past couple of days I’ve been giving in to looking.
“Forgive me Lord, you gave me blessings.
Please keep leading me, I’d really like to have 30 days free of dwelling, but relying on your wisdom alone”
It’s been a good day of work -
I still need to focus and work hard.
God, my relationships, and work
I went and actually used the gym, followed by a steam And a good calm, cold plunge pool.
I haven’t prayed consciously, much.
And I don’t often question my Internet usage.
Thanks be to God for today
Day Thirty-Five
Temptation so comes. I will pray for us all to stay humble and in the Lord.
Thursday
Thank you very much @Forodwaith
I really appreciate that. You’re awesome.
Hoping you guys are well, and busy with life
@Gk-00 @Forerunner
It’s been a groggy day, struggled etcetera,…
I’ve been to the gym, steam.
My sis came up to stay over, as she has a job here tomorrow - it’s lovely spending some time with her.
Church tomorrow, and confession before Mass
Thanks be to God for today
Friday
@Gk-00 @Forodwaith @Forerunner @Rebooter81
No exercise today - good to take a break
Gym is great, but working on core and Tai Chi is better for the moment…
Occasional gym
Went to church, confession this morning and prayed/thought about a lot of people, especially you guys, and people having hard times.
I’m struggling a bit, but then again, I get distracted by other stuff and I’m okay.
Conflicted thoughts that I want to resolve
Worry about work
Anxieties
Ummm… What else?
I got my hair cut today - seeing myself in the mirror with the bright lights made me feel uncomfortable. I looked old, tired and ugly, when other times, I feel 100% secure, and feel attractive.
It’s petty stuff - interesting how it causes disturbance, even when thinking/writing about it.
Even the reluctance to click ‘Reply’ is causing me discomfort hmmm…
Lord, rescue me, it’s so tempting to want physical/mental comfort by viewing p.
It’s happened a couple of times today but I know I’ll only regret it.
It’s so desirable to have black and white answers, but what is the question?
What do I want to ask?
Lord, I don’t want these thoughts right now.
Take them from me. Give me rest, and renew my drooping spirit
This made me think of you! I think it can really help you achieve your goals
Can i just check daily habit (
) in instead of doing big posts
because big post is difficult for me,
I want to make it easy for me
e.g
Wake up early
Exercise
Cold shower
Yes bro @BruceLee
Easy is the way
Excuse my big posts, I get way out of control sometimes. It’s a good reminder to keep it simple, thank you
Saturday
Media morning/midday not so good
Prayerlife @Rebooter81 msgd me today, and it really helped so much - Thank you
I reflected and went to confession, again,
in the evening Thanks be to God, and thank you for anointed people who work to bring others to holiness
please always keep my priest happy, fulfilled and in the comfort of your presence
Amen
I’ve done about x20 pressups today
Thank you for sharing the app @Forodwaith
It’s a great concept and I like how it works,
It’s given me food for thought
I need to address and make a plan about morning/night routines, starting small.
As for pray, exercise, limiting media - I need to let them go as concepts for the moment until I’m less vague but still carry doing them.
I think it’s much better to be firm about one decision, rather than vague about many
I’ll pray for you tomorrow @Gk-00
How are you guys? @Forerunner @BruceLee
I made it thirty eight days, the longest I’ve ever made it and then I fell. It started with pushing the envelope. I need to burn the envelope. I am disappointed I lost my streak but I’m glad I made it over a month for the first time. I feel much more detoxed than before and I’m hoping this will help me make it to ninty days this time around.
One thing I learned is I need to not flirt with triggers or unedifying things. Please keep me in prayer. I will keep you in prayer to. Perseverance and persistence with prayer.
Peace
Day Zero
@Forodwaith
Really glad the detox is going well
Prayed for all of us. Please keep me in your prayers too
I may take things easy for this week due to it being my final week of my work project.
I still haven’t even read much of Gary Wilson’s book yet either.
Yesterday was a great day.
I went back to church in the evening, and had been feeding my mind and soul good things.

Thank you!!! @Positivebloke
@anon67854825 It was a great day!! I think slowly slowly I can make some more good habits. Thanks!!
Monday
@anon67854825 @Forodwaith @Forerunner
Sorry guys, I fell into the tunnel back again. Don’t know what to do, now I want to climb up again, this life is too precious to be wasted on PMO!
I also want to let you know that I took part in a web-based program called “Strive” made by cardinal studios. It is a 21-day challenge created by Matt Fradd (the guy of the video you posted a few days ago @anon67854825), I am currently on day 3. You can join for free currently, but it will not be free for much longer I think, if you want to check it out here’s the link:
https://www.cardinalstudios.org/strive
I am feeling tired, tired of wasting my time on this shit, and I want to fight back but I feel dull, lacking motivation. Hopefully with this challenge and the companionship of you guys I will get up again!
Thanks for the prayers and support, it is helping me a lot! Will pray for you as always
Glad you liked it! The more you use it, the easier things will become.
At one point there’ll come a stage where you don’t have to use the rule at all…It just becomes a reflex!
Keep rising!
@BruceLee Love your post style man!
@anon67854825 Best of success with your project brother!
@Forodwaith @Gk-00 You can do this brothers - no shred of doubt in my mind! Always praying for you to rise up and overcome, that your burdens be lightened and success become easier for you.
Monday
Good start to the week, thank GOD.
