The Golden Key #2 to Quit Porn Addiction - IMAGINATION



“Our thoughts and imagination are the only real limits to our possibilities.”

Orison Swett Marden

Emile Coue was a French psychologist and pharmacist who introduced a popular method of psychotherapy and self-improvement based on autosuggestion or self-suggestion.

He is mostly known for his famous autosuggestion “Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” He has cured countless men of their psychological and physiological diseases with just auto-suggestion.

He has famously said, “When the imagination and will power are in conflict, are antagonistic, it is always the imagination which wins, without any exception.”

But we go through lives using our weak will to fight strong habits and addictions which use our own imagination against us.

Countless people are quitting porn and masturbation countless times and relapsing again and again and again.

Do you know what the problem is?

It’s the use of will power more than the power of their imagination. How many times were you able to sleep using your will power to induce sleep, or how many times were you able to salivate by willing to salivate, or how many times were you able to rationalize your fears and phobias?

The answer? NONE.

Because imagination is way too powerful than the will power. You can use your imagination to imagine tasting a big lemon to induce salivation, or you can imagine drifting on a cloud or any other relaxing scenery to induce sleep.

Imagination is like a big powerful truck, and the willpower is like its steering wheel. A truck can run without steering, but without the engine, its nothing.

Similarly, you can use your willpower to steer the course and use your imagination to power your goals to reach your destination. But if you use the willpower alone, you will not move an inch towards your destination.

You can decide to quit porn and masturbation, you can delete all your porn collection, burn every porn magazine and put porn filters on your devices. But once the porn cravings kick in, they will use your imagination against you with porn fantasies. At this moment, if you use your will power, you are sure to fail. But you can’t use your imagination too at this moment.

The only way out is to relapse.

Yes, you read it correctly, Relapse.

And once you have relapsed, you are at the best time to write down all the reasons you want to quit porn and masturbation. All the positive results you expect when you quit this addiction. Write down why you want to quit porn and masturbation, what it has done to your past and present and what it can do to your future.

Once you are done with the list, it’s time to get these things impressed on your mind and imagination or the visualization is the best way to do it.

Impress your mind with the ideal life you want to have. Get this image completely impressed on your mind. Let it generate positive emotions in you. And the next time a porn craving creeps in, you just have to think about this image of your ideal life and the craving will just vanish away.

Porn addiction and Medical Science

“A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.” Muhammad Ali There’s an old saying in the teaching world: “ Tell them what you’re going to tell them. Then tell them. And then tell them what you told them .” And so, as you move through this blog, you’ll probably notice much repetition of thoughts and ideas, because we usually learn best through repetition. There are few things in this blog which are not scientifically proven yet and when you come across them, you will have two options to choose from. Try those things and prove their effectiveness for yourself. Or, wait until there is scientific proof for their effectiveness before you try them. But be aware, if you go for the second option, you would have to wait for a few decades before the scientific world catches up with the lived experience   of porn addicts. And it would be too late for you.  Always remember that science will always lag behind the lived experience. The case with every new

Porn Addiction As a Three-Part Loop

 " We shape our tools and afterward our tools shape us." Marshall McLuhan   The life of a porn addict can be thought of as a three-part loop which he goes through repeatedly.  This loop consists of three phases - the Relapse, the Reboot, and the Retreat. The Relapse or phase one is when he goes back to his old ways of watching porn from a successful streak, the Reboot or phase two is when he is away from porn on a successful streak for any amount of time, and the Retreat or phase three is when the porn cravings hit him hard and he slowly moves back towards phase one or the Relapse. The porn addict behaves differently in each one of these phases.  During phase one when he relapses, he is full of guilt and shame. During this phase, he has every reason to quit porn and every reason why porn is bad for him. He is full of motivation to quit porn and to get his life back on track. He will delete his porn collection, gets porn filters for his phone and PC, decides to exercise, medit

The Golden Key #3 to Quit Porn Addiction - CHOOSING THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

“Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.” Vince Lombardi People wrongly believe that “ Practice makes a man perfect ”, but they never stop to think that it's a half-truth and the reality is that “ Only perfect practice makes a man perfect. '' But in the case of Porn addicts, even that belief does not hold good. Because “ Only perfect practice of the perfect thing makes a man perfect. '' Porn addicts try to quit porn for a few days and relapse, they start again and do the same things they did at the start and fail again. They think that if they practice quitting porn enough times, they will succeed eventually. But alas! that is not the case. To learn juggling, you need to practice. But if you practice the wrong technique, you are heading towards failure. To master juggling, you need to practice the right technique in the right way. If you keep practicing failure, you will learn to fail again and again and again. What I strongly believe is
