Week 39: No Fap 2.0!!

Dear reader, 

Once on a journey you never stop. The same goes for No Fap. It doesn't end after 90 days, that's when it starts. You start out with counting the days, then weeks, then months and eventually years. It goes for everything. About six months ago is started with a No Fap journey. This is journey where you get rid of any kind of porn and masturbation out of your life. You use the energy that you used to let go and use it for positive things to go after your dreams and desires. 

 

This is a 2.0 updated six months in version, if you have not read my first blog about No Fap, please do. You will get a better understanding of what I have done and why I am on this journey. Today I am going to take you on my experience of six months on No Fap. I am going to take you bit by bit on the journey, share some of my experiences and see how I have managed my success ever since being on No Fap. 

This journey has had major impact on my way of living, health and energy I want to keep talking about it. I want everyone to succeed and I think that more and more people should look into what habits they want to change. Also I believe that the journey is not done after 90. The journey just started. You aren't going to keep on counting but you need to be able to keep up with your desires, relapses and potential setbacks. It is literally as well figuratively speaking in your own hands. 

90 days to six months: 

I need to admit that the first 90 days are much harder then the six months. You are working to get to this magical number of 90 days. But once you have reached the 90 day mark everything goes by so fast. Before I knew it I was on 120 and 150 days. Because you have not made it a part of your 'lifestyle' any more it is much easier and fun to let the days go by. Because the 90 day mark is important mark you work towards something. But once you made it the new chapter begins. 

I was so focused on making the 90 days and so happy that I made it to the 90 days that afterwards it becomes a new normal. You don't even think about it anymore and you can focus on other things that you are working on. Being with the six month period I have realized many more benefits then just the ones explained in my first blog about No Fap. 

Benefits: 

After the 90 days you start to discover new things about yourself, it is easier to control yourself, your thoughts and emotions. One of the major things I have discovered is that are able to create a stronger will power. Because the sexual desires have become less I have more and more energy. There are many things that have improved since quitting porn and masturbation all at once. Next to a stronger will power I have the feeling I have way more time on my hands. This not only because my sleep has become better but I my mind is clear and focused on my goals. 

I have discovered major health benefits to, such as that my skin has become so clear and soft. I always had problems with dry and irritated skin. Now my skin feels the best it has ever been. Because of my skin feeling good I feel much better myself to. Also I have the feeling that my eyes have improved, I can see colors better and during conversations I am able to keep up longer and stronger eye contact. Also I have been getting a lot of complements from people how I look, I even get compliments about my hair even do I have not done anything different. But my hair does feel softer and stronger. 

Having enough energy to enjoy your day is important. I feel like even during a long day of working I can tap in to extra sources of energy and get more done. It feels crazy, like your battery just got an extra recharge. I work in a restaurant and the days can be long and exhausting, so being able to tap into an extra reserve once and a while is great to keep you motivated and to get the job done. It is partially also the fact that I sleep better, deeper and get the amount of rest that I need. 

Keep researching: 

Of course the urges and desires are still their. The only difference is that they are more controlled. I have a stronger will power to keep myself on the right track. With my goals in front of me I am able to keep myself focused. Even after the 90 day period has ended I kept on researching, what have people experienced after 100 days or six months to a year. I want to keep myself going and be able to tap in to the extra energy I have mentioned earlier to make sure that I can become even better. 

 

The research has helped me to better understand why I have been feeling in specific ways. Because of other people being on the same journey you can relate to them and the experiences are often similar. The research also excites me to keep going and giving myself greater confidence and motivation. I no that it feels good and that I am doing this to become the best possible version of myself. 

Six month conclusion:

Just as a mentioned in the introduction it is a process that keeps going. Reaching six months has been a real journey with ups and downs. The downs hit you harder then you are used to but the same goes for the ups, they become much greater and you get the better enjoyment. Because I do many different experiments with regards to my health and body I can not always purely say that all benefits come from No Fap, it does have influence. Making sure that you get rid of the bad things that ruin your life or that intervene with your progress and process is always good. If chancing one habit that can lead to more greater and positive results it would be No Fap for me. It is a great accomplishment and I will keep myself on this track to work on my business and my dreams. 

 Thank you for reading and enjoy your week.
