I relasped last week after nearly 6 months of abstaining because of sexual media and too much screen time in down times. I literally watched your video few days before it happened and I felt like I had an new understanding. Now I do not use my phone at all for down time and I have restricted myself to only using my phone for answering calls and text messages. I use my kindle for when I want to unwind. When I think back and look at my journal I knew this was main cause for my previous relapses. I feel confident to try again and this time I truly believe with Gods help and great people like Dr Trish Leigh I will overcome this.
@@amitvishwakarma4589 What I'm doing now is no screen time. Instead of tracking my streaks of relapsing, I now track my screen time because relapsing is the end result of the root problem which is a overstimulated mind. So now I am having a streak of no social media on my phone and its been 13 days now. So far I have been the most productive in my life and now I do not have as much brain fog.
Here are my own personal observations: When I’m mindlessly and passively watching one UA-cam video after another I get mentally exhausted. However, when I choose to watch a 40-minute show (ie. an old episode of Star Trek TNG) I retain my mental reserve.
Dr Trish Leigh thank you for your words of true! Your chanel is ubique. You are the only one battleing on this subjects. You are the best! I love your content❤
Hi Trish, I’m working in producing music on my laptop.. I’m working with the sounds, is it also problematic as the screen? Or taking a break after each 30 minutes can be fine!?
Taking periodic breaks is definitely good! When it comes to your screen time I wouldn’t worry too much about it since you’re being on purpose - you’re creating music and not being passive. Still, just as Dr. Leigh counselled limiting screen time even when being on purpose you might want to do the same.
Any recommendations for software developers who have to stare at a screen for 8+ hours a day? My first thoughts are: Spending more time writing/designing solutions on paper. Even printing off a daily task (Jira ticket), rather than staring at it on screen. I know it's not good for me, and probably a huge reason why I actually enjoy my job most of the time. ------------------------- (less important side question) A good chunk of our day is spent reviewing other people's code ("MR reviews") I've debated using a large color (non-LCD) E-reader for this, as a way to decrease screen time in a sense. Do you think using an e-reader for code reviews, yields much benefit compared to just doing it on your computer? (Any benefits outside of the obvious, which is, you can't flip to other apps etc while using e-readers, you can only really focus on one task) Or are the benefits so low, that it's not worth spending the time to get MR reviews set up on an E-reader?
Are there any studies on the effects on how videos affect the brain? Because it sounds damaging to the brain when you’re watching videos that have 30-60 frames per second or sometimes even more I think. Thanks for your help
Dr. Trish Leigh, I get erection only while doing pelvic floor exercise otherwise no erection at all, also i m unable to imagine a girl sexually in my mind, its my day 38(nofap streak) and this is continued from day 0. Day 1-10: Flatline symptoms; zero libido, no erections, no morning wood. Day 11-22: Gradual improvement with weak erections, slight attraction towards women, started Kegel exercises. Day 23-25: Fluctuating symptoms; intense feeling to fap(but no urges, its just a feeling that all semen will come out), weak erections, temporary relief from the feeling to fap after urination. Day 26-35: Regular morning wood but delayed and weak, little urges without significant reactions, fluctuating libido. Day 38: Nightfall with weak erection.

So you slipped up one day out of 180 days. Seems like a win to me. Keep it going
@@ewljr Yep, everyone's interpretation of a slip is different but for sure this would not be a reset.
Bro kudos to you❤ I am relapsing every 4 days or mostly on weekend. Any help would be deeply appreciated
@@amitvishwakarma4589just try to pass ist 14 days than its become easy i m now on 19 days clean and its easy now

Thank you for making videos on this topic, I've noticed that when I'm not in front of my computer for long periods of time. I feel more focused
This is very interesting Trish, I didn’t know this. Thank you for this extremely valuable information.

U go doc 🙏💪
Dr. Trish Leigh, I was wondering what you think about ASMR and does it have any effect on our brain?

Many Thanks for this !

Yeah they are
Definitely
The low spectrum blue light from the screens is and for our eyes. Kids are needing bifocals at an alarming rate
