Don`t over do it

[Vinayaka]

Yes. My mind has obsessive tendencies. If it finds something fascinating or gratifying, it wants to go all-in. In some cases, it was productive, in others, it was detrimental. And sometimes it was productive to one aspect of my life while detrimental to another.

Once I recognized this, it was much easier to catch myself tending toward obsessive behaviors, assess the effects of the behavior in a given scenario, and if they were not productive as a whole, adjust them.

So does mine. Over time I've found better wisdom in choosing just what I go 'all in' on. That's why I need mental breaks, or holidays from stuff ... to reflect on it. I will also take these kinds of decisions and lay them out before the Gods, while simultaneously meditating on them. Then ... the insight just comes. Attachment to not quitting can be detrimental.

In your life, is there something you do that you thinking of as being too extreme? and you wish to change it, but maybe don't know how to do it alone?

During my teens and twenties, i used to binge watch porn. I was also a junk food addict. Loved them with extra hot sauce. Life was extreme then. Now in my early 30s, my body doesn't permit all these things.
Nowadays I don't induldge myself much in wordly pleasures. For me knowledge is more important now than pleasures.

Just checking. I never really got into binge watching porn, but I figured maybe if I added some extra hot sauce...

I'm becoming more asexual these days. You know, those who don't feel any sexual arousal towards any gender. I dunno if my medicines have something to do with it. Like you, I am also obsessed with certain things, besides porn ofcourse lol, like collecting and hoarding. And so i payed a visit to the Doc's chamber. After having the medicines for more than 9 months my OCD especially towards sexual content has completely dissapeared.
Whatever it is, medicines or no medicines, i think God doesn't want me to stay on this path of filth and ignorance. He wants to purify me and i accept that as His blessing.

Pushing the limits of your own being may not be a good idea. This line come from a friend of mine

It was something he said during a discussion we had, and it stuck in my mind. Watching my own spiritual journey. To me, it means that as a practitioner of Sufism, it is a fine line between practicing correctly and safely and going into the extreme both ways. Not too lazy and not too much force into the extreme and very difficult part of seclusion, only being alone and so on.
Admittingly I have been a bit too much on the path toward an extreme side of me again But this time I cathed myself before it went wrong. And still am in a very good place in life right now.

The Qur'an says to not commit excesses.

I would advice you not to use this kind of profanity. Its not good enough. If you want I can PM you some more effective profane words after consulting some experts.

I don't like profanities, and the one I do use is maybe the mildest there is.

I think crap is a funny word...

But I'm not terribly attached to the idea of 'bad words'. So perhaps my opinion doesn't matter much here.

You forgot to use a mild profanity in that sentence. So I dismiss that post as "irrelevant".
