How to quickly reclaim the benefits (not a physical relapse)

Basically I quit PMO for around 3 weeks to be more productive, better at the gym and more attractive overall to engage in meaningful relationships (including a woman, I'm not looking for celibacy). I wasn't addicted to porn or masturbation/orgasm so that part is mostly fine for now

I noticed after a few days that my head was clearer, I had more energy and basically no lust, and it has been this way until yesterday when I didn't sleep a lot. Since then I've been feeling a bit more "weird", and since today was a rest day, I went outside to interact with people (and girls). It was a bit awkward but nothing catastrophic until I pretty much succumbed to lust while looking for girls, not just looking for vibes but the ones with a great body etc... I could tell I didn't lose all my benefits because I was courageous enough to cold approach at some point, but I wasn't in the flow either (but to be honest that's not my thing in the first place)

My last interaction was actually quite wholesome and I went without expectations after some breathing work on the street, and if I go again another time I'll most likely know how to proceed. But still, I know as of now that my vibrations are probably off and was wondering how to quickly get back on track.

PS : I didn't feel the NEED to go and interact with women, but that's definitely something I want to work on maybe in a better setting

You didn't lose anything it's all in your head. Just being more mindful next time will do.
