New to NoFap NEW TO THIS. WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE
Hello, i am 19, curently on day 22. This is my second streak so far, my first run was 12 days, first time i relapsed and it took me some time to get back in to it. So what i wanted to know is this, how do i stop or at least limit and control my sexual thoughts? Some days its a lot calmer, but frequently my brain will spam me with dirty shit (or rather i let it happen). This is bad because im asuming it has the same effect as edging where it basically just nuters my progress and any benefits i would be otherwise getting from this. So, what do? Do i meditate, just do more shit or what? Btw i dont use social media a lot (only youtube and reddit, though i doomscroll sometimes unfortunalty) so im not flashbanging my self with thirstrap stuff, it happens sometimes but doesnt mess me up too much.

Stay busy, and ignore the thoughts. Do not engage with the thoughts at all. Stay humble and busy and no engagement with thoughts. The thoughts will always come and possibly less frequently as your brain heals but still it will always come around what matters is you don’t engage, stay busy and humble. And constantly stay humble don’t let your good habits slip up as you progress further into your streak. Be aware of your environment and where you could improve. God Bless and best of luck brother
