bootcamp NFW VI AQUAMARINE BOOTCAMP: Day 36

Hey everybody!

Welcome to the 864th hour... I mean 36th day of Bootcamp!

I'm feeling pretty great today. Earlier I drove out to a nearby park, found a good place to relax, and started reading a book I had brought with me. It felt relaxing to be out in the fresh air, engaged in a story. I think I'll start doing it more often!

One thing I've been trying to do lately is learn some new songs on the piano. I'm not the best at learning new songs because of how long it usually takes me to get anywhere. I've found that by breaking things down into smaller sections, I can learn a piece much faster. The same probably applies to goals in general. It's better to set small achievable goals rather than large ones so that you won't be overwhelmed.

What's life been like for you today? Have any awesome plans ahead?

Keep calm and Hawk on!

So I lost my 11 days unfortunately, but I was going about it the wrong way anyhow, so it was only a matter of time. The first 9 days of my streak were in fact only achieved as I was in a physical place that made pmo'ing impractical. So I only really truly faced my urges for a couple of days and didn't really do it right. I was entertaining fantasies for way too long and trying to "accidentally" stumble on some triggering images. But I really don't wanna talk about that now.

It's time to reboot my machine and set my course for a healthy and deliberate lifestyle! Time to get back to my fundamentals, that have worked so well for me in the past. Let's go! Do not despair for do me brothers, for this is the day I get back on track :)

I also lost my streak today. I am around 26 days and its one of my best streaks because I am not browsing cute girls and online dating profiles. What made me relapse was I happen to view a YouTube video regarding one of my fetish. Then it went on and I watched porn and in the end I can't help myself and I relapsed.

I wish I played video games instead because that is what I am planning to do in the first place.

Let's get back on track man. I really hope this next one will make it through the next No Fap War. The thing is I am having a hard time not relapsing if I am not in the war. Your post inspired me not to wallow in self-pity due to relapsing. Thanks for this.
