A New NoFap Strategy

improvement pill here today i want to give you a nofap tip that i haven't really seen elsewhere but

it's something that i've been experimenting with myself i'll also be giving you an additional tip

at the end of this video so make sure you watch till the very end now for the first tip let me

explain to you how it works basically instead of focusing on maintaining a streak what if you try

to focus on the percentage of time that you've succeeded instead of aiming for 100 perfection

what if you simply aimed for 95 plus the reason why i think this might be better is because

we humans are simply not perfect unexpected things come up life likes to throw curveballs,

sh* happens we mess up from time to time but if you messed up for just one day honestly how

much progress have you really lost if you've been working out for three months and you miss one day

does that mean that you've lost all the gains that you've made no it really doesn't you lost

a bit of progress sure but in the big scheme of things nothing much has changed you've still been

hitting the gym for 3 months which is great the same sort of thinking can be applied to nofap

let's say you're someone who used to jerk off every day and you decide to embark on the nofap

journey you haven't fapped for weeks but then one day something happens and you slip up just once

how much progress have you really lost i would say not much and that in the big scheme of things

you've actually managed to reduce the amount of times you fap significantly you should be

feeling happy and proud not guilty and sad one of the biggest problems that i've noticed when

people focus on streaks is the especially harsh downward spiral that it often leads people down

if they do slip up you feel as if you've lost all the progress you've made so far and that

you might as well keep doing it because why not there's nothing else to lose there's no 10-day

30-day 60-day streak that you have to defend but the truth of the matter is oftentimes that's where

the most damage is done slipping up once might not make much of a difference but going on a fap

marathon and doing it multiple times a day for a week straight definitely causes you to lose a lot

if not all of the progress you've made so far which is why i think it could be helpful to

have a system in place to prevent the binging let me explain to you how this would work let's say

you've been staying clean for nine days and on day 10 you slip up if we look at this from the typical

streak point of view you've already failed but if we switch to a percentage way of keeping track

missing one day out of ten only means that you've dropped from a hundred percent to ninety percent

yes it still stings a bit but it doesn't feel nearly as bad as going from a hundred percent

straight down to zero which is what essentially happens when you focus on maintaining a perfect

streak and the great thing about the percentage based mindset is that if you pull yourself back

together and avoid fapping for the next five days you'll rise back to a ninety three percent you

actually have a chance to recover from the fall you have an incentive to get up quickly and try

again with a percentage based system every time you slip up you can see yourself losing more

progress but at the same time you're being given a chance to recover with a streak system you become

obsessed with all or nothing with a percentage based system you understand that mistakes happen

and when they do you have a reason to get back up to defend the progress you've made so far

now it's important to note that in order for a percentage based system to work you cannot reset

your percentage whenever you want you have to accept the days you've messed up or else you will
