Here are 10 Reasons why you are relapsing and struggling to quit MASTURBATION

Thread 🧵

#BetterTogether

1. You have not changed your environment.

Your mind is the product of your environment. Don't be stuck in an environment that triggers cravings.

Get into a new environment, and meet new peers. Take charge of your space.

Be the architect of your environment, not the victim.

2. You don't have a HABIT TRACKER

A habit tracker ensures you account for the successes and failures in your healing journey.

Eg "If I masturbate, I must send 10 dollars to Amerix, every relapse is 10 dollars or I will switch off my phone for 24 hours."

3. You don't have a HABIT STACKER

A habit stacker is a daily routine that keeps your body, mind and soul busy.

It rewires how your brain receives rewards and satisfaction.

eg 4B's of a Good Morning.

4. You watch TV and scroll through social media

Being on social media aimlessly feeds your brain with sensual triggers and sexual intent.

Watching TV fires your dopamine circuits to manipulate your emotions.

Read masculine books instead.

5. You are still active on effeminate apps

Luscious Apps like Instagram, Facebook, dating apps are social engineering projects to hijack men's attention then lure them into consumerism and sex.

Delete them. Restrict your WhatsApp presence. Eliminate Whatsapp status.

6. You don't fast

Masturbation makes your mind chaotic and turns your brain circuits numb.

Fasting declutters your mind and rewires your brain.

Fasting trains you to overcome luscious triggers and helps you to control emotions.

7. You still eat junk and sugar

The food industry's agenda is to get you hooked on junk foods.

Sugar, sodas, alcohol & processed carbs drive your cravings for instant gratification by destroying your dopamine response.

Avoid them to regenerate your dopamine receptors.

8. You don't lift weights

Lifting weights and doing HIITs gives you a new sense of purpose and satisfaction.

Pain in the gym is weakness leaving your body.

9. You are idle

You lack a masculine purpose where you can drive your energy.

Chasing pleasure (eg women, sex, alcohol, drugs) is not a man's purpose.

A man's purpose is to spend his energy building, constructing, creating and solving problems.

10. You don't understand the consequences

If you deeply internalized the consequences of masturbation, you will not attempt to masturbate.

Take a pen and a piece of paper, write down the consequences and you will understand why masturbation is uncouth, unmanly and unacceptable.
