"im not saying that problems dont exist, but the real problem is that when negativity consumes the mind, not only do we lose the vision to see the beautiful things around us, but also the ability to solve the problems that confront us.
We have to train our mind to focus on the positive and feel empowered to deal with the negative."
~ Radhanath Swami

I believe we can du this and we can beat thithis thing
Remembering the reasons im doing this and what porn has taken away from my life helps when i have urges.
And also i have made an effort to learn from my relapses and also realised that recovery is not a perfect process
I go on this journey knowing that chances are there that i might relapse and be ready to pick my self up go forwad with the knowledge of where i went wrong and wat to do if it happens next time
We might call it failing forward
Stand in front of the mirror and look into the person’s eyes for 5 mins. Daily.
The way you start the morning decides the productivity of the day and your sincerness towards the next 24 hours.

Keep it simple, friend☺. God is the answer. The world is full of traps, betrayal and darkness. But God is Light, Life, Peace and Strength. If you let Him fight for you, nothing will be impossible for you.

I need some answers for the following question.
It will be great if the answers are really worth trying.
Question :-
When it come to give and share motivation, we always vome with lots of stuff… from youtube… from spiritual practices… from books… from great leaders on this planet… from successful persons…
And we give it wholeheartedly to the person in need of motivation/inspiration.
But,
When the time comes for self motivation, (personally me) i cannot implement whatever motivation that i shared in this forum in my own life. Not even the rules which i say to others like “dont do this, dont do that, you should practice this or that stuff.”
-
why can’t i do the exact same thing that i tell others to do.
-
how to do it.
Waiting for answers. If someone doesn’t want to speak on this post or if someone thinks a debate will be good way to find answers, then he/she can message me.
Thanks.
Good question.
My theory is that it’s because of the instant gratification we feel when we post something.
We watch a motivational video - feel motivated to do something - we share it - we no longer feel the urge to change, we beleive ‘it’s done’/‘I’ve learned that’. However, most of the time we should kind of meditating on what we heard, digesting it. We have to talk to ourselves more. (If I remember well, @anon13059885 calls this mindfulness.)
We can share the post later, of course, but not instead of sharing it with ourselves on a deeper/higher level.
Why?
Because it’s easy to advise than Following the same advice.
It’s easy to give examples of others than to become an example for others.
HOW?
Just stop doing easy things. And start doing the hard things.
This is something worth trying
This actually happens… thanks for enlightening this point.
We think, in this big world of so many billions of people, who’s going to hear us? This kind of thinking is what i have to change. So that i dont count myself in those we think population.
Thanks @comingclean @anon98741803
These are the words which im going to keep in my mind for the rest of my life.
I respect your words. And will keep this respect by actually acting on it.
Very true
Many people associate no Fap with superpowers
That’s not entirely correct.
It’s the self control, discipline, focus and determination developed by no Fap that gives you those super powers.
Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin.
Proverbs 24:16
Why can’t you do the exact things that you tell to others?
You know what to do or what is good for you or someone else. Do you have a tendency to start a new thing not ending the previous? Another question. When you tell yourself for example “i won’t be eating fast foods” and then your friend comes to you and asks you about go to eat on a city something unhealthy… Will you change your thinking or you Will be keep in your mind the thought of not eating the fast foods? Are you always consistent with what you say to yourself or to others and after what you do?
Do you always end what you started? Even things like book.
I think that here is the problem. I noticed it in myself and started to changing it. This is whole linked.
