My story

There are two inclinations relevant to ways of thinking indeed messing up my life. In this part of article, I solely dive into the pattern of Overthinking. I myself overthink oftentimes, as things do not go well. Specifically, if anything happens unlike what I expected, then I have a proclivity for dwelling on it. Unlike thinking negatively, it's overthinking or rather I do focus on two aspects, the positive and the other is what I called "learning from it" (presumably as the neutral rather than negative). That said, I couldn't keep my mind of bad decisions or actions.
One of the personal secrets that hardly have I confessed with others even intimate friends is my p*rn addiction. Now that I've grown in control over it and re-taken up a few good habits, say reading and planning, I realize this is time to bring it to light. Back in the "rainy days" - as I was struggling with the vicious cycle of "Pornography - Mastrubation - Orgasm (PMO)"; whenver I end this series of sins, I feel altogether guilty (completely opposite to when I am hooked onto the craving). This is because before I enter this cycle, I did promise not to get involved in it again. I, however, instead of thinking negatively about the completed wrongdoing, look on what I can learn from it (which relevant to the past), what to do to feel better now (present) and for the future. Having done of such virtuous things to ease my mind, I am still unable to get over the regret. It takes me a few days to stay back to normal, but unfortunately after every 7 days I still fail.
As usual, in every tuesday of a week, I may enter the vicious cycle once again. However, yesterday - that was Tuesday, I resisted to it with ease. This was by virtue of being pleased or more precisely happy. Despite bad things triggering my overthinking pattern, I still could stay happy (at the time I didn't know why). With that positive energy, I became more productive, focused on study and got over the urge of PMO with no effort. For that time, I realize that when I enter "I've got enough of it" state, the craving disappears.
Also, the reason I write this post is to make a commitment with myself of being more happy so as to stay away from bad habits.

What can be learned from my personal experience?

Whenever you have cravings for things like sweets, social media, or in my case is P*rn, you may be short of satisfaction. To stay pleased or enter the state "I've got enough of it", find activities to make you feel better. Maybe going for a walk, doing some housechores, practicing a little meditation or taking to what you love - just everything make you feel content with present, then you get over the urge with no effort.

Conclusion

The main thing in the end I wanna say is to stay more pleased and the only person we getta please first is ourselves. Things aint gonna go well as we might expect, so learning to let go is key.
