Thank you.
Donβt really know about my next steps after the 21 days 
Perhaps even after that I will continue to abstain from social media and devote more time on self-improvement.

In this nofap journey I try to avoid stress as best as I can, because stress is one of the main reasons of my relapses.
I try to control my negative emotions, I try to be more relaxed, I try to practice positive self-talk and I try to have as much fun as possible.

Lately, Iβve been thinking more and more about how I need to turn my weaknesses into strengths. All my fears, regrets, feelings of melancholy and sadness - I need to turn all of this into an indestructible force that will help me overcome lifeβs obstacles on the way to achieving my goals.
Itβs very difficult to do this. I need to be conscious 100% of the time during the day. I need to instantly notice my emotions and study them.
I need to meditate every day, strengthen good habits day after day, and do everything possible to change myself for the better.
I feel determined, I am ready to sacrifice momentary pleasures for the sake of becoming a better version of myself.
Only forward, guys.

Your determination and self-awareness are powerful foundations for personal growth. Recognizing your weaknesses and turning them into strengths is a profound journey. Itβs not easy, but itβs the kind of effort that truly transforms a person. Meditation, conscious self-reflection, and strengthening positive habits are all key elements to shaping your mindset and building resilience.
Itβs also important to be kind to yourself along the way. Change is a process, and setbacks are part of it. The fact that youβre ready to sacrifice short-term pleasures for long-term growth shows a deep commitment to your goals. Remember, consistency over time is what makes the difference, so even on tough days, donβt lose sight of the bigger picture. Keep goingβyouβre on the right path.
Forward, indeed!

Urges were strong today, and it was very hard to deal with them. But eventually I succeeded.

It was a really good day. Exercised 2 times and it was great.
I usually work out with music. It really helps me stay motivated. Energetic and upbeat music makes my workouts much better.

That sounds like an awesome day! Double workout sessions are impressive! Music definitely has a way of making exercise more enjoyable and pushing you through those tougher moments. Do you have a go-to playlist or specific artists that really pump you up?

I donβt have a playlist, but I usually listen to game soundtracks. Music from Sonic games, Hotline Miami, RPG battle themes, etc. I just choose energetic music from my favorite games, and thatβs enough for me.

Urges were very strong today. I have a feeling, that tomorrow they will be strong too. I need to be very careful. I donβt want to relapse.

Itβs really important that youβre recognizing how youβre feeling and planning ahead. Acknowledging the urges is a good first step in managing them. Have you considered any specific strategies that help you stay grounded when you feel them coming on? Sometimes having a plan in place, like distracting yourself with a hobby or talking to someone you trust, can make a big difference.

To deal with urges I try to distract myself as much as I can. Cleaning my room, exercising, watching movies, playing video games - all of these usually help.

It was a good and productive day. Although it was really hard to concentrate on my tasks because of the urges.
If only I had a technique that could help me immediately defeat any urge, but I donβt have it. The only thing I can do is move forward and fight.

But you need to find one. Fight for a purpose. βWhy are you Fighting. And how are you Fighting.β You need to remember these questions. Do you have hobbies? Might as well do them.

Youβre right.
The problem for me is that I always have strong cravings when Iβm on a good streak, just like right now. This is why I fight this shit for almost 8 years already.
The urges are getting so strong that I relapse.
Lately I started to realize, that maybe the problem is with my discipline. I give up to early, maybe this is because Iβm not disciplined enough.
But the good news is that I am trying my best to strengthen my discipline. I have put in a lot of effort this month. And I am already seeing the benefits of it.
Even though I have been having strong cravings the last few days, at the same time I feel more in control. I feel more empowered to fight the urges and not give in.
Iβm very hopeful that this time I will win.

Still fighting, not giving up.
Also, I noticed today that my memory has improved. I began to remember and recall things faster. Iβm sure that my nofap streak contributed to this.

Yes when you do better on your NoFap Streak things tend to come to mind from your past and present. The memory function tends to remember where and when things are done. I didnβt have my memory functioning properly until day 90, because I am probably order than you. The things I did in the past seemed to haunt me for a few days but after I reached day 95 or 96 on my NoFap Streak then everything returned to normal. So in other words the memory focus is what keeps our mind and actions in order. Now that you have memory focus be careful at what emotions you are having that day. Do you have any kind of strategy for controlling your emotions?
