Has everyone heard the idea of having a cheat meal once a week (common among body builders and people who are serious about lifting weights and watching their diet)? Well, I was thinking today; why not have a cheat relax day for all our disciplines while we are rebooting (obviously as long as it doesn’t cause a relapse). For example, my current routine is something like this... Everyday I do: 2 cold showers a day lifting weights 3 days a week Eating a good diet reading Getting to bed early And then some of you could add meditation to that list and some other stuff that I don’t have on their yet, but... I believe in cold showers, but I also can’t be the only one who craves a hot shower every once in a while. So, why not give myself that hot shower. And once a week, instead of reading when I get home from work, it would be nice to just relax and watch a movie; and of course the cheat meal. My cheat meal is on Mondays. So I figure Monday will be my cheat relax day. So on Mondays, even if I feel like reading, I won’t. Instead I’ll watch a movie, and get to take a couple hot showers, and of course that cheat meal. I see it like recharging the batteries for the following week to come to prevent burn out. Kind of like how it’s not good to workout every day, you gotta give your body rest. Same thing with nofap, give yourself a day off once a week to be lazy and enjoy those things that I know we all miss just a little bit. What does everyone think?
Everything you mentioned is definitely healthy yeah and I'd say most people should have a day to enjoy things, but: P should be completely avoided Maybe M is acceptable without P but for 99% of people this won't work as it'll lead back to porn and will slow down the reboot. However if you MO once in your reboot for example it's not really a set back at all, however it's probably best to abstain from it all together. O with a partner is encouraged as it's healthy rewiring.
I'm new to this forum and struggling with all the short hand - what is O, MO, I'm guessing P (porn?) M (masturbation?) etc? Thanks
