What a viking. I also need to try more cold showers. They indeed feel amazing especially afterwards.
They feel incredible for HOURS afterwards! Truly worth the pain. The human body works with pleasure and pain on the same scale, which is why video games and porn etc make you feel numb afterwards (pleasure turns into pain). Cold showers reverse this process. Some studies have shown that cold showers can give you the same high as cocaine!

Before advancing to more extreme stress, read "Dopamine Nation." Too much stimulation can lead to desensitization and chasing more extreme stimulation. Find that sweet spot!
I'll absolutely read that! It would be good to learn more about the science of it

Hi Smokie,

Been meaning to ask this, your no MO streak which is stellar…do you have sex with a woman so that there is an ejaculation, or is this complete super hard core mode (with wet dream outlet)?
Well I've only just started having sex again - so I want to enjoy it!:LOL: I ejaculate every time, I may trty Karezza in the future though. It did wonders for @Blondie so it may be worth a punt. At the minute I think it's important for me to rewire my brain for REAL women

140kg 3x6 squats, more weight next time! 90kg Pendlay rows 3x6 too, heading for 2 plates!
A month of meditation AND another hard 90 reboot tomorrow! (still count as a hard 90 if I'm orgasming with women?)

Day 30 meditation
Day 29 cold shower
Day 89 no MO
Day 489 no porn

Extract from @Blondie reboot journal:

Characteristics of men in ancient cultures and myths

- Creating masculine order out of chaos
- Solar power radiating upwards to the heavens
- Inwardly driven in their goals and ambitions
- Acting out stoically as opposed to emotionally
- Protector of family and society

Characteristics of women in ancient cultures and myths

- Representing unbridled feminine energy and earthly passions, be they sex, music, love, or art
- An earthly radiating power towards the earth and thus rebirth
- Outwardly driven in their goals, needs the support of the community
- Acting out emotionally as opposed to stoically
- Protector of her man's family and goals

Looks like we're all a bunch of women with dicks! :cool:

Just food for thought, don't take it completely literally.

Now the world needs both the feminine and the masculine spirit, one is not better than the other, and each of us have a little of both in us, and a healthy person can play both parts if need be. However, it is also equally true that the world needs men, not "alpha males" not "players" or any other ism of the modern world, but real men.

So ask yourself this, are you creating order out of chaos today?

Are you obsessed with the things of the earth, and the pussy that gives life and rebirth to us men? Now pussy and rebirth will save your soul, BUT ONLY if you're looking towards the sky and your masculine goals.

Are you focusing on your goals and your future, or are you obsessed with what the community or society thinks, and are you constantly in need of their approval: more likes, more thumbs up on social media, etc.? Are you an Instagram whore but just a phallic one?

Do your emotions guide you throughout your day, driving you off course from your goals, driving you to escape to porn or other means of vacuous entertainment? Can the world rely on you? Can your woman rely on you in her times of need? Are you a masculine rock? Or the feminine storm?

What would you die for? Do you even know? And why would any woman want you if you can't even answer that question?

Men sailed the world in ancient times, fought dragons to save the maiden, and pulled swords out of mystical rocks and not the palm of their sweaty hands! What are you doing today that someone might write about one day?

Look to the heavens gents, look to the heavens.

You all have a good porn-free Wednesday.

Woke up feeling slightly lost today. Felt like I'm not where I'm supposed to be in terms of my business growth and I feel like I lack a certain purpose and direction. On a positive note, I picked up my book again and read and transcribed a few pages!

These days come and go, you're doing great man. Keep up the good habits and things will naturally feel on track very quickly.

Personally I find that my mood is the product of what's happened over the previous few days. Maybe have a think about if there's anything which bothered you recently or something which threw you off. It is amazing what we can carry with us even if it's small. Just realising what it might be can make it feel less acute.

Plus some journalling (physically writing down on paper) about goals and direction can help to make me feel like things are aligned with a purpose and direction.

Of course you don't need me to tell you any of this. I write it as much as a reminder to myself as it is a word of encouragement to you.

This shit happens brother. Sometimes you just wake up and wonder about this or that. It's not a bad thing per se, and sometimes it can be a catalyst for some real changes that might need to happen. Even slight changes here and there can really do wonders.

Wishing you the best in figuring out what you need to do.

Nice!

I forgot to mention. A few days ago when I sold that car, I felt a dopamine hit for 2 days straight! It still hasn't fully disappeared, it's a huge indicator of my dopamine receptors being back to fairly normal instead of saturated! Stay hard
