This is becoming a habit!Went to school. Standard day. I sat around listening to metal and reading manga when I should have been talking to random people though. I think this is my new escape.Came home. Got lost in my thoughts a bit. Ended up looking at these feminist videos because it's international women's day. I don't agree with progressives. You can't change the nature of the human consciousness through political activism. We either go forward and just see what happens or go back and start living in caves again.Researched some lower body exercises as per @destoroyah's advicewatched some elliott hulse. I have been thinking for myself a lot since i started this whole thing and much of what he says resonates with me nonetheless. The topic was finding purpose without religion.Looked at krita tutorials (krita is digital art software btw. It's free too)I haven't actually done my energising routine today. I'm getting too much into the habit of slacking off in the mornings. The notion of going 36 hours without a shower will get me out of bed.

@Csaba_Bekesi Smile? You mean like this?: Haha thanks for your ten minutes my man. I do climbing at school but there is nobody my age I like there. I do have deep conversations with this one kid sometimes at school. Contrary to what you would think though- we have fuck all in common. I am into fitness/ sport. He isn't. He likes hip hop. I like metal. He believes in god. I don't. He is black. I am yellow. We are of the same mindset. Fuck school. Fuck being marginalised and all this fake bullshit. Sussex is WAY too far south. I am living way up in Durham. So there isn't likely going to be a 5th member anytime soon I'm afraid! Having something in common is a great way to meet people but to be compatible with other people is another story:

But i wasn't in the mood.I came home and did the energising routine i missed out in the morningI had a big think about life. I wondered what my path in life is and what I want to achieve. I had doubts about becoming and engineer. Will I just become a cog in a machine with no creative freedom? Or is that just how the world works? I also had doubts about society and whether getting a high flying job just to earn meaningless money is what I want to really do.

Thoughts and Feelings: Got up veeerry late but I managed to sneak a cold shower in.At school today we had a lecture from a psychologist on stress management and she made everyone do 10 mins meditation. Bwhahahaha.....noobs.I let my mind wander a lot today- especially pondering the idea of sexual energyToday I smiled at a girl randomly. Instant conversation like it was normal. I think the art of approaching people is all in your demeanour. If you can insight the feeling in them to engage with you through gestures then you are less at the risk of your mind trapping your words. e.g you won't be like "Uhhhh what should I say?.... Oh shit....."I read some mangaI got some studying done.I rowed 2 km. Tasks and achievements: Physical: rowingMental: studying, nofap posts, researching paganism, readingSpiritual: cold shower, meditationWhat I am grateful for: MetalEmotional clarityPhysical exercisePersefoneWhat I have learnt from today: The sexual energy is twofold- both physical and emotional. My previous approach to nofap was an attempt to deny the physical side and empower the emotional. However the two cannot be separated. With the mental intention of suppressing my sexual energy I was placing a bottleneck on my spirit thus the flood gates only gave way in the end. But with understanding of my sexual energy I can allow myself to embody it and not merely vent it through a frustrated wank. To be free of masturbation perhaps I need to simply embrace my sexuality. I dispelled an urge today by simply saying something along the lines of "It's ok- this is a natural impulse. Let it pass through" I just let the lustful thoughts take over. Truly get in touch with your sexual energy and work with it. The wild beasts are always the strongerConversation is more than just wordsTomorrow I will leave my comfort zone by: Talking to at least 3 random people I don't usually talk toSmile at someoneGoal for tomorrow: Do full workout

@Simms Thank you for this piece of advice. I think this is what everyone wants deep down regardless of gender. Someone to rest in and someone to draw strength from. Someone to catalyse your yin an yang energies.

Yes removing game related stuff helps but abstinence only creates frustration. Understand that gaming satisfies your emotional needs which can be otherwise satisfied. Try getting more exercise (grind xp). Take up a craft (pick a profession). Learn more about life (look at the wiki). Exercise is actually addictive because you release endorphins.

I got physical activity on my agenda (warrior). I developed a passion: art (lover). I read up on philosophy and psychology which led me to make my own ideas about how life works (mage). Develop your archetype like your characters. Get a new haircut. Get new clothes. Life is a game.

Hello again I see you have more questions. I suggest you start a journal on this site. It is a useful tool so others can interact with you better and help you. And most of all so you can self reflect and help yourself. Personally I had no issues quitting. No relapses at all. I just approached life in a way that I approached games. I was using games as a substitute for life. Build yourself as your own character. I can relate to your FL studio dilemma. I am an aspiring artist and I used to do this a lot with drawings. My advice is stop trying to make masterpieces. Go at your music production with the sole intention of improvement. Just go and make something and you will learn from it. What I do is I just sketch random stuff that I need to improve on in cheap sketchbooks again and again. I just keep them as practice books and I don't have much emotional attachment to the drawings. I suggest you have a folder to store all your practice music files. Eventually you will realise that nothing but improvement matters.

Hi hubert Removing everything to do with gaming is good. But I found it was necessary to fill the gap with something. Try getting back into your old hobbies. That's what I did. We are about the same age (17) so I can relate to you disrespecting your family. I think that it just takes a bit of growing up and opening yourself up emotionally. Being on this site will certainly accelerate that I think. I haven't fully got there yet though. I have found that when I get annoyed by something really insignificant this helps: take a deep breath and when you breath out think "why am I angry?". try to deduce the underlying cause of your irritability. Lack of sleep? Bad day at school? Being conscious of where your emotions are coming from helps you control them a lot.

Hi, @Simms About workouts. I live in the middle of nowhere so for the holidays it is very inconvenient for me to get to the gym. When I'm at school I can just walk down the school gym easy. I would have to face all the arseholes in there but what ever. If I was going to lift weights I think I'll go down there when school is on because I don't have room in my house for this equipment. I can do dips in between my kitchen counters but my parents wont let me buy a pullup bar for a door (or let me do pullups anywhere in the house for that matter) because the house is built like a cardboard box. My step dad suggests dumbbells and I looked some stuff up which looks really promising. If I buy this set do and this workout what do you think? I can buy a squat rack in the future if I decide I want to do stronglifts 5x5 at home and the plus is I have a longer bar option for the dumbbells for it. As for warmups can I just do any full body warmup? Even this one for bodyweight fitness?

If you're having trouble with breath focus meditation try just saying in your mind: "Inhale, exhale". Do this in sync with your breathing and it is a lot easier to focus. The mind is a muscle so you can start small.
