I. Identify triggers:
The environment signals the habit.
It could be time of day, stress, boredom, social media use or more that cues this unwanted behaviour.
As soon as you identify the continuity in your relapses, the sooner you free yourself.

II. Tell someone close to you:
If this scares you - good.
It's an indicator that you need to do it.
Reach out to friends, family, or support groups who can offer encouragement, accountability, and understanding.
Nothing aids behavioural change like social pressure.

III. Habit substitution:
Focusing on not relapsing is how you relapse.
Instead, direct your energy towards something that excites you. My clients usually find great value in a big project rather than a hobby.
Think about something you've always wanted to do.
Now do it.

IV. Screen your technology:
Instagram is soft porn.
Tiktok is soft porn.
Dating apps are soft prostitution.
Minimising and eliminating these apps should be a staple in your bid for greater clarity in thinking, self-restraint and self-respect.

V. Stress management:
Prioritise activities that promote mental and emotional well-being.
Relapses happen when you haven't slept enough, eaten inflammatory foods and played stressful video games.
Read - but secret lies in reading a book you want to read.
