I read a book on habits "The Power of Habits" by Charles Duhigg
He mentions something about keystone habits, we all have this one major habit that has a ripple effect on our day and our lives.
For example, you would be more predisposed to smoke ciggies if you drink, or eat junk food.
I noticed this with myself, that on days I masturbated or consumed porn, the next move/habit would be consuming junk food and or junk movies/material, or be on social media the whole day.
Whereas, when I would start my day with prayer, at times I wouldn't even think of porn, and I would then workout and choose healthier options throughout the day.
So... having succeeded in abstaining from PMO'ing, it became much easier for me to stop smoking ciggies and drinking alky.
However, I currently lack the skills to cook, so that's one of the things that I'm working on now.
Other things are:
- Generating passive income, because I want to be a digital nomad next year and leave China, so I've been doing a lot of research on that.
- Learning game, how to flirt, and being cocky funny, so that I can get the woman of my dreams.
- Working out at home, simple stuff like push-ups, walking up and down the stairs.
- Doing more Bible studies so that I connect with God my redeemer or just watching a podcast, praying and thanking God as soon as I wake up.
I've found that I would be so busy learning, that I even forget that I'm trying to stay away from PMO'ing, my brain would be so full of ideas on how I can achieve my goals, even my dreams have made a massive shift, the things I dream about are so different and more vivid.
