The simple ways to overcome lust...
Stop bad habits today...
Lust & sexual immorality is absolutely something to be ashamed of…
Whether it’s a celebrity crush, porn, one night stands or pervasion
These are things we need to admit to ourselves, are wrong…
We should not judge or treat people based on their appearance but by the quality of their actions.
What I don’t want though, is for you to fall in to self-hatred over it,
There’s another word for that - despair,
Despair is the bottom of a well with no way out,
There is always a way out of lust - it’s as simple as not doing something.
I have struggled myself for the best part of a decade with lust
There have been high moments & low moments for all sorts of reasons.
The following tips come from personal experience
Kill triggers…
We live in a world which actively images intertwining with lust, inseparable from it, then rewards them…
Victoria Secret, Ann Summers, OF Girls on your IG, Calvin Klein models…
& actively promotes topics like LGBT
(No offence to the LGBT community - your community is based on sexual orientation)
& you can scroll on X and just come across porn.
The world has gone full pervert & the probability is, if you’re reading this you are a pervert
Whether it’s a glance at a girls or admiring the chest on a guy (fantasising)
So how on EARTH, do you kill triggers?
On social media, I would block anyone who takes you to that bad habit,
The OF girls, your celeb crush, you’re this or that - if they have a stigma of sexual explicitness around their name
Block ‘em.
That’s great - what about real life?
That comes down to discipline & a thought process of
“am I going to make this person uncomfortable if I continue doing this?”
How would you feel, for every time you’ve committed that act, your own mother came home or sister, aunt, grandma or girlfriend…
Saying guys were non stop perving on her…
You would be angry,
So don’t be a hypocrite.
Please also don’t take the toxic line of thinking “she dresses for it”…
That doesn’t help you, regardless if it’s for attention or not - it’s your habit, your problem.
Kill opportunity
Stay busy, stay in company of people, work, join a social club, learn a sport, walk.
All of this will decrease the window of opportunity…
You would never just straight up watch porn next to your Mum or Dad, right? (hopefully)
Or in the middle of training?
It’s embarrassing to think about it that way, it’s gross…
It’s a private bad habit, so if you’re in public or company 90% more,
You will have way less time to do it…
You can also put in preventable steps like blocking websites, put age restricted content guidelines on & screen time limiters
— if you’re on your phone for 10 minutes your phone locks.
This doesn’t necessarily kill the beginning of the process, but it prevents committing to the dread after.
Perspective on porn
Self-reflect…
Don’t think about the act in a 1st person POV -
Think about how you look from a Birdseye view…
Staring at a screen, making weird faces - whatever
Just imagine what a loser you look like -
fantasying on people you would never date or marry
Are you a cuck? - you like watching someone else do it in front of you?
You’ve been brainwashed to think that’s acceptable…
Imagine your family coming in by accident
Looking at you with shock and embarrassment - then disapproval…
Don’t expose yourself to that.
Bonus: Distract yourself
by reading Earth Conscious Life:
This guys are actually dope
I actually read their newsletter, they talk about development in
engineering
reforestation
human health / mental health
Rob does so much to protect & promote reforestation and preservations…
Subscribing & reading his emails is a 5 minute job but you gain so much to talk about…
At work today, I spoke about something that was featured in his email a couple days ago
MIT engineers have found a way to pull WATER from AIR - that’s crazy.
They are looking for USA, Canada, UK & Europe… but they might just let you join anyway!

Remember it’s a choice to be a pervert,
Do better,
