Day 33
Doing great! Days 13-14 were my more difficult days, but now I´m in a run of rebooting. Funny how my youtube recommendations are filled with motivational videos of Hamza, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Huberman and Andrew Tate. I only pick out the videos that motivate you to stop chasing dopamine and focus on making life better.
What I´ve learned from Huberman:
Find dopamine in doing the hard work.
If you keep focussing on "how awful a task is but a reward will come at the end", it will be more difficult to do that task. So I stopped telling myself "okay, go on, just a couple more days without pmo, you can do it" and I´m now just identifying myself as someone who doesn´t do pmo. I´ve found the courage that if the topic comes up in discussion and my opinion is asked, I can honestly say I´m against it and that builds the identity. (Without starting that topic to sound like a guru obviously haha.)
If my reboot keeps going this way, I might add some videos here for those interested that might help focus on the right things in life with a stronger mindset. I believe it´s about fixing many aspects in your life to heal though: mindset, purpose, respect, identity and dopamine healing. One step at a time.
