    Tricky being a parent! How far away does your boy live? Is it not an option for him and his mum to move to your city? Good on you for wanting to live closer to your son. Quality/regular father/son time is important (that said, I grew up without a father so your son's current situation is better than mine was - but still, a stable regular routine would be best if possible - every second weekend will feel like an eternity for a three-year-old). Difficult to move when your body feels bad every time you go back to where you used to live though, and when you love your apartment. But good on you for being willing to make the sacrifice, your boy deserves it 🙂 All of the best in finding a new home that you will love. Sometimes we have to feel the fear and do it anyway!

    Brother. Feeling inspired to meet the silence. Takes some bravery to break the cycle of escapism, but you’re right. The mind’s natural tendency is to settle, if only we stick through that initial storm. Big decision. It seems like a hard problem to solve. Still, certainly easier than fixing all the things that weren’t actually the real problem. Good to have you back here. Hope to see you soon again !

    Semen retention causes denseness to the body internally externally and in the middle which is the onĺy invisible denseness.U learn to zip by making all the muscles in the body alligned and u create technìque by imitating martial artists famous or not and u will have the annointment of soleman,noah and abraham as long as u also have a connection with god.A bit of advice for anyone starting semen retention,it took me 2 years to understand this with trail and error,luckily for me i did this with hardcore definition its just time to reap the rewards for this methodology.Keep up the good work elium the viking stance and trend is always gonna be in ur DNA dont forget use it the best way u can.🏔🐺

      Talk with your partner and tell her how you feel. If you want to try to retain for a longer period you should include in the journey. If she truly loves you, your relationship will only flourish from periods of retention. Rome wasn't built in a day my friend. Be careful to throw your life away because you think retention will change everything. It's a piece to the puzzle. You guys could try karezza or something like that, or just tell her you want to try 30 days semen retention and that you need her support. It's a process with or without a partner.

      Not really sure. I don't really count these days. Somewhere in my second week I think.

    I've also been slacking and not even been attempting to retain for the past couple of months. But i'm ready to get back on a good streak. One thing i've noticed clearly is that when i'm not on SR and watching the sites regularly, i'm just not in as good a mood as i am when im on a streak. Like its a big difference. On a streak I feel motivated, excited about things and just more optimistic. Anyway, do you have any tips on how to get through the first 2 weeks? I find these the hardest then it becomes more normal.

    feel you man. I'm about the same age as you and I also feel like I'm entering a new chapter, not just bc of turning 30 but just a feeling like this time around is different. trying and failing at these things so many times has been exhausting. The ego makes you think "oh everyone else does it so whatever, I'll give in" but that's the mold we have to break. its hard to set yourself apart but the rewards are for sure worth it. commenting to hold myself accountable, and hopefully some of you can comment under here to hold yourself accountable as well. Thanks Emil, keep up the content<3

      It is all progress in my mind. Progress is not linear and just the fact that you try to care for yourself by making changes, and build yourself a future sets you apart from many others. I'd suggest educating yourself on sr and nofap science. Deep dive and gain knowledge. This will make you understand what you are trying to do on a deeper level so that willpower is only needed for the first few weeks to kick the physical habit. From there it's about wisdom and discernment. Good luck brother.

    Not far into the video. But what about healthy addiction? As an example, exercise can be addictive in its release of serotonin. You talk about replacing addictions with other unhealthy addictions, I wonder if there are more healthy addictions to replace them

    • @EmilIllum
      @EmilIllum Місяць тому

      Yes, you are right. That is a very important point I should have added to the video. I guess I just wanted to focus on the pattern of pleasure seeking. But replacing them with better habits is a great strategy! 🙏
