When you’re feeling that overwhelming desire to just look at anything…. Understand it’s all just thoughts in your head.
Thoughts are what create your feelings, not the porn sites, not the YouTube Shorts.
It’s all just your brain processing what it sees.
And because you’ve looked at porn for so long, you get triggered when you see those things.
But again, your thoughts are driving everything here.
If you have the thought “I want to look at porn right now.” and you didn’t believe it, you would not feel anything.
You’d not feel desire, you’d not be lustful. You’d just be feeling nothing at all towards it.
Think about what happens after a relapse when all your desire has been satisfied.
You’re probably pretty pissed at yourself for having done that again, but if you ask yourself: “Do I want to look at porn right now?”
The answer is usually HELL NO!!!
Your thoughts are what drive your desire and your desire is what drives your actions.
When you think about watching porn and don’t question it, your brain gets tunnel vision.
You start reacting like it’s true, like it’s a need. You feel like you’ll explode if you don’t watch it.
But what if you just looked at it and said “Oh. That’s a sentence my brain offered. That’s not a fact. That’s not me. That’s just a mental habit.”
You create space between you and the thought, and in that space you get to choose.
You don’t need to fight harder to stop watching porn, you need to think differently.
And before you can think differently, you have to stop believing every thought your brain throws at you.
You can’t change a thought you’re still worshiping.
