Cold Showers, No Pants
These two practices, titled so inspired by Schmoyoho's 2016 presidential debate parody, "Bad Hombres, Nasty Woman", are from Luke Smith and one of my friends. In fact, my freind would recommend no underwear too as being a valid choice too.
Cold showers will make one feel invigorated. One must not fear the words of the altruists, warning you of having a heart attack.
I have done some fact-checking, though, to this common doctor advice, from studies, and it appears it will only do so if you already have a heart condition. I used to have really low stamina, and may have had one, but my stamina got better as I did Swimming! Which is one easy way to get your stamina up.
I have also, for the record, though this is not appropriate exactly for this section, healed my back by just trying over the past 5-6 years to straighten it when I could. Swimming also helped, though what truly helped was my wanting to see my back be well, and the final push to making it faster is from people wanting that I go to kinetotheraphy since it was still not quite straight - technically why I went swimming, as an alternative. So, I went *Rush B* on straightening my back more...
So, in conclusions, cold showers are incredibly fun, will shock you. As Luke Smith would say, "You're going to be all [think of it as monkey sounds] OOO-OOO-OOO [breathing heavily and exhaling, making sounds], as you wash yourself in cold water. You may find it interesting to try slightly cooler water at first and then step it up.
No pants is a Gura-approved practice. You don't need pants. You don't need underwear in bed, either, or a shirt, though people may find you weird for the latter, and underwear can be useful if you are doing nofap by the "discipline method".
If you are doing nofap the sacred sexuality spiritual method, though, you can do it. Just let yourself flow and stay present as you do it, considering what you may want to heal so as to make fapping no longer interesting. What happiness are you seeking? What emotions want to be looked at, usually first, before the transformation to that happiness? What is it that you could be desiring through fapping? WHat qualities of experience and life? - Most often, sexuality is a rather intimate matter, though most people, admittedly, do it without feeling and without thinking anything, like animals. But you're different. You care about sexuality and want to experience it for real. Not the junk food everyone tells you to accept yourself for or fight, but the real sexuality.
With relationships and sexuality, it's kind of like if with food all we did was talk about the junk food, to quote a lovely interviewee, from this podcast by Next Level Soul: MANKIND'S HIDDEN POWER: Advanced & ANCIENT SPIRITUAL Alchemy to CREATE Your REALITY | Emily Fletcher: "[...] you'll get AIDS, he'll use you [...]", and the like. But, as our interviewee tells us, in reality, relationships are far more.
Sexuality and relationships are far deeper and more amazing, and there is sexuality full of fun and happiness which needs not be denied or fought as evil, not only given it was given to us by the Creator, but since you shouldn't be so quick to blame things so much - I mean it's fine, but... it's a bit boring...
I say all this because in your relationships people will fight you for these bold decisions, and may find them weird. I ask you to then, remember, that true relationships are about listening and honesty, and expression, not anger.
They are not about control, and war, but self-belief, fighting from that instead, no matter what, and peace. Peace is not about being alone so you hurt no one. Peace is about associating with people sincerely, and here, not letting them make you bow down!
If they won't listen or care about your practices, so it be. You shall still love them, and not let yourself be controlled.
To illustrate how okay it is to pray to anyone for help and ask for help in this from people who will approve of you as you are and associate with that you, rather than just staying where no one will see you lovingly (true love is guiltless - no bad guy we must fight, but forgiveness and peaceful outlook) - many people pray on tests for success. To quote a story from "La Povesti cu Jimmy", from Romania, when he was little [roughly]: "If I get a 6, I will quit smoking. If I get an 8, I promise i'll never look at the English teacher's ass again!".
He got a 7.99.
Pray to anyone that may help you, as Jimmy did before that test, praying to Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and anyone he could think of. Pray to God, your angels, spirit guides, and ancestors, all higher selves in the Universe, the Confederation of Planets in Service to the One Infinite Creator, Ra, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster for protection.
Even if they are your parents they have no right to control you, and you should always pray for negativity to be removed in a situation, being clear about that, and surrendering the rest to your angels. You should be willing to ask for help. You are not alone in this Universe, and even if your goal is self-knowledge, I promise you you can do that without torture. Anyhow, the reason you believe it must be done with torture is that you probably have always been told to do things right. Even if unaffected by it today, it is worth realizing, today, simply one thing, that it does matter that the world listen to you, and that God always listens to you and cares for everything you want.
So, keep wearing no pants.
And you may even feel like going in less clothes outside. You won't get sick unless you perceive yourself negatively, because all sickness is ultimately inner. R. promises. Just don't go in a blizzard naked, that might go poorly.
