Hi all,

Over the last few weeks, my consumption of pornography has greatly reduced. I would be lying if I say it has completely stopped. But it has reduced considerably. I feel proud about it. Here are a few things I have been doing,

1. Instead of fighting off the urge, like before, I have now become more aware of the urge. I just sit with the urge and observe its manifestations in my body. I don’t act on the urge. I breathe deeply and after a while the urge dissipates.

2. I have been doing Yoga and also go out for a jog/walk in the evening. I also play soccer on the weekends.

3. I have started playing my piano again after a while. I am also taking piano lessons on the internet.

4. I am gardening more than earlier.

5. I have installed NoFap app on my devices and also subscribed for NoFap reddit.

6. I head out to a nearby library to work/study during the day. I am limiting my solitude. I have also made a few friends at the library.

7. I have installed a porn blocking app on my devices.

8. I am journaling my thoughts everyday.

9. I am meditating more than before and have also started exploring Pranayama and Zen meditation techniques.

10. I question myself, “Why am I trying to quit?” I have written down few mission statements which I read out loud every morning. I am trying to find stronger life purposes.

Thank you all, for your support. I will continue these practices and keep you updated with my progress. I am very grateful for your guidance.
