  1. On day 7 now without O. But did some P and M today, totally 20 minutes maybe. Feel definitely different which I don't know is because of drinking less coffee, having eaten pretty good for 3 weeks now or the fact that I haven't O:ed in seven 7 days now. Had some sleeping problems also, and was hangover yesterday which is a very risky thing where I usually fail. Keeping a journal and also meditation a lot and in general trying to accept the feelings I get rather than flee them by using masturbating. A soft kind of discipline and just accepting the feeling rather than confronting it harshly refusing to break in. Downloaded a good book to my kindle which I hope can be used as a substitute during hard nights (the nights are the hardest). Over n out.
  2. Im joining the train. I have been trying to quit PMO for 9 years. Time has just flied away I guess.... So sad to think of. The thought of this I hope might inspire me. I'm in a pretty rough situation right now with a break up with a crazy girl that threatened to kill herself etc after me breaking up with here. I'm stressed out about school and other things too. When I stress or feel uncomfortable I tend to use porn as a coping mechanism. I'm also implementing meditation gradually 15 minutes a day his month then next month 20 minutes a day. Feels like a help actually. Been meditation from and on for last 5 years. Other risk factors for falling back I have: When drinking or when hung over. When stressed or nervous about something. When I'm emotional in some way. Started up a journal for myself in my commonplace, guess I'll write every day.
  3. Like the video but would like to know why about why to avoid coffee. I've only seen studies showing great benefits from coffee drinking. It's actually really healthy. So anyone know the reason that we should avoid coffee?
  4. Why wouldn't you want to feel guilt if you can't stick to your basic daily routines? If you don't meditate every day it's good that you feel guilt.
  5. As said about the hangover effect,... I have to approve. I've been working shift for some months now and that REALLY messes you up, like always having a heavy head. Not being able to thing celarly etc. Get a routine is probabl the most important thing. That way your body get the habit. I don't think it makes a big difference what you choose as long as you choose a routine that you stick with. I
  6. I have to say though, that most losers I know they never wake up early. And many really cool guys I know (successful etc) wake up early.
  7. Been living as a minimalist bascially all my life without "wanting" to or thinking about it. Though I buy things sometimes I need, like a bicycle that I later sell when move to a new country. I don't like that it's hard to accumulate books not having a steady place where you live (don't like e-books altough I have had to get used to it). I didn't "choose" to become a minimalist, it's just the way I am. I have never seen the need for unecessary stuff and am very comfortable with the simple things. Now I'm back to my home country after some years outside and I will actually get some stuff that I need. Things I bought recently: desk, a chair, a lamp, a bed, some books, some kitchen stuff, and some other stuff. I'm ready to leave all these things behing at any moment. I think minimalism is a way of seing life. When you can see beyond or never have understood the guys bragging about their latest cell phone or new car or something, then you really are a minimalist. You simply don't have the need or understanding for why you would want it or why people go around wanting silly things that doesn't statisfy you. Of course you could understand logically that it could improve your social worth and this could in turn get you some benefits from society, like getting good looking girls easy. Status is also nice as a kick but doesn't last you. Personally I prefer deeper relationships and girls can be fixed in other ways than high social status. Just my thoughts on the whole thing.
  8. I personally am in a sstruggle right now to find out what my natural rythm is. I figure that when I have time I will live one month without technology and lights to just see what my does. Right now I can wake up early if i want to but have no problems at all sleeping in. And I actually feel better waking up later, altought I like in on another level waking up early.
  9. I guess evil win in the case you describe, and the hero only put a stop to the evil killings. However it's of course difficult to say what is evil and what is good. Good and evil have to be purely subjective. That means it doesnt exist outside the personal experience. And I guess this makes is a personal thing. If we try to see it as what "most people" consider good or wishable then we could draw some objective connclusions perhaps. This leads to another interesting point spoken about in one of Leos videos: we can't know if it in the end causes good or evil. In the long run we can't say what the consequences are of the action.. The argument against this is I guess that it's the intention behind the action that makes it good or bad. If the intention is good than its and act of good. An intention is good if it's in line with what is considered good by most people (what we biologically is wired to think of good and bad)?
