ADD

Meditation will get easier by practice, it's very simple you just don't get the thing about it at start. I struggled with it the first time i started 4 years ago, i was constantly picking up my phone and watching the clock "ugh when will this end". Now if i'm doing guided meditation and it ends i'm like "wtf nooo, that was 30 minutes already? felt like 5" and then i continue by myself. The point is, it starts to feel so good to be in that state that you don't want to stop. For me it feels that self-inquiry is more fruitful when in meditative state.

I would suggest max 8 hours per day, and make those hours productive.

Thank you for your replies, they help me alot! @Bubba66 I'm glad you said that. My teachers, business coach and fellow students are telling me i'm sticking too much in my comfort zone when pursuing my goal as being the best in my field and focusing on that one thing. For me it feels like i'm wasting my time if i'm not doing those things that actually help me progress on my selected career. So there's lots of external pressure but i'll have to just stand my ground and tell them how it is.

Hi! I'm running a business and studying at the university the same time. Without going too much in to details, i have lots of projects and tasks to deal with all the time. This causes me stress. There's lots of wisdom on this forum so i thought i'd ask how you have overcame taking stress about "external chaos" in your worklife? Thanks!

Make the move. It's really as simple as that.

Dude you just started nofap, keep on it and you will soon find out your neediness to fill your sexual urges will drop down. ? The funny thing is that once it does drop down you have women seeking for your attention all the time.?

I don't know if this is going to make you feel any better but sex wont make you happy. It's short-term gratification, it wont last. I've played that pattern out of my system by living a stage orange dream life. It's really not worth of the effort. But, on the other hand i understand that you feel like you are lacking something by not being an alpha male in this society wich holds sick standards. If you want to get laid then i would focus to improve your self-esteem to a level where you really don't need to chase girls. They will chase you. I see that the problem is that you are too focused on your looks. Accept yourself as you are. This sounds like a fucking cliche, i know. But people can sense the energies you vibrate. When you accept yourself 100% you will attract people automatically. Remember: You create your own reality. What ever you think, you are right.

It is, some women do nofap aswell, but i'm not sure if it has such affect on them.

Yes i only masturbated max one time per day and stopping it made huge difference. Self-confidence goes through the roof (in a positive way)

Go for a walk in a park? Or for drinks. Or bowling? Select something that you are most comfortable at first.

My tips: Smile in the photos, don't try to look like some model. Good photos, no selfies Put effort in to your biography Be playful and fun, don't ask boring questions. Drop the seriousness, online dating is about having fun. Start the conversations Be authentic

@Javfly33 You haven't suffered enough yet. But don't worry it'll come to you, especially now that you already got a glimpse of it at such a young age. Life will at some point give you two options: To suffer or to be at peace. I completely understand your point of view and you have to play your things over and over again. Sooner or later you'll come to a point when you can see that the external things wont bring you the joy. Enjoy while it lasts! ?

Trust the process ?♥️

Sexual energy is the highest energy in you. It can't be removed unless you die. But it can be chanelled to something useful instead of forming lust. Be aware of your thoughts.

Hi! I have this aswell sometimes. When i start to get deeper in meditation my heart starts pounding like hell and i get all anxious and fearful. There's nothing to be afraid though, it's just the mind wanting to grab my attention again. What works for me is to surrender to it, accepting it as it is. Then observing it with compassion. It melts away after this. But it's important not to try to get rid of it, welcome it instead and after that i often find myself in a state of deep bliss. Once you manage to surrender to this once, it will get easier in the future.

Give them money.

What happens to our consciousness when we die?

Hi! I first started seeing this as a child, even then i paid attention to it and wondered what it could mean. Lately i've been witnessing these numbers more often than ever. The funniest thing about it is that when i see those numbers it's not like i'm even looking at a clock on purpose i might just randomly pick up my phone without a reason or thought and there it is. For the last couple of years i've experienced the darkest times of my life(and the most growing) and it feels like i still haven't got through them. Does anybody else here witness such odd "coinsidence"?

Omg this was so mind blowing. Thank you.

This is exactly how i experience it. It's like i go on autopilot mode when i watch that number. Thank you for your feedback all!

I don't even have urges to masturbate anymore. Great urges to have sex though. The amount of cum after holding it in for over a month...shhiiiet

Forget about girls, get your shit together. Learn to love yourself. Get your business running good. Girls will then run after you.

Hi! I was on 2 day vipassana retreat last weekend and i'm now facing dramatic mood swings from unexplainable happiness and excitement to the FUCKING deepest anxiety, depression and fear. It was my first retreat. Is this normal, and suggestions how to get through it?

Great, i had pain in my back and neck while sitting. That was the biggest disturbance, wasn't enjoyable but i managed to accept and surrender to the pain. The other factor was that i felt bit nervous meditating surrounded by random people, but i managed to overcome that quite well on day 2. The walking meditation was new for me aswell so at first it felt useless but i gradually got a hang of it. After day 1 i had random bursts of laughter in the evening. Great experience overall.
