Personally, ive been changing a lot of things in my own life.

Im exercising, taking 30 minute walks, and stopped watching porn completely. And my mindset is much more positive and healthy now. I think we tend to get stuck in habits that are not good for us sometimes, and we never really stop doing those things unless we intentionally try doing something else.

What are you guys doing this year, any big changes?

Improving in one regard, making things worse in other. 0 in result, but with extra steps :)

Hehe yeah, its up to each person. :) But you know, ive been watching porn for like 35 years. Just soft stuff like sexy movie scenes and stuff like that. But I just decided to stop doing that to see what happens. So far i really like it. But yeah, I know it sounds strange if you are used to it, and totally get why everyone likes it. :)

That’s honestly respectable. After 35 years, even trying something different takes discipline. If you’re feeling better, that’s what matters.

It took a desire to see what would happen. I was very curious! And now ive been doing retention for 2 months. Its not just higher energy levels and a desire to move and exercise that has been the result, its also a difference in how i think now. Overall its just a very positive experience so far. You should try for 2 weeks. You will feel very different and much more energized after only one week.
