#84: If You Fail To Plan...

Do you have a clear, actionable plan in place for the next time you feel that urge? And, has that plan given you a winning track record? If we can't answer a resounding "YES!" to those two questions, is it reasonable to think that we will be able to effectively handle that next temptation and not give in to it? In this episode of The New Paths Podcast, my goal is that by the end you will be able to say, "Yes, I have a clear, actionable, step-by-step plan to effectively address the direct CAUSE of the behavior I'm trying to stop!" And, because a plan is worthless if we don't actually implement it in that intense moment, you're also going to walk away with a specific practice that will increase your probabilities that you will use the plan when you're on that front line, while also increasing your self-awareness.

#83: The Formula To Unlock Your Freedom

Imagine if you learned about a formula that clearly explained the porn struggle. Imagine that this formula not only explained WHY we keep going back to porn, but also, what to do GOING FORWARD to stop going to porn. This is exactly what happened to me just a few years ago. I learned about a four-part formula that gave me a new perspective on my struggle, and why I had not been able to experience freedom after trying for over 20 years (Hint: I was focusing my energies on the wrong part of the formula). Once I made a slight shift in my perspective and plan in light of this formula, everything clicked. The roadblocks were suddenly removed. Exciting, exhilarating victories started to come very quickly. In this episode of The New Paths Podcast, I'm going to share this formula with you, and why it had such a life-changing effect on me. I'm also going to give you specific steps to take if you want to apply this formula to your own situation. It was a complete game-changer for me, and I believe it can be for you too! And as a bonus, in the episode I'm including an analogy from one of my favorite movies of all time :) Want to know EXACTLY what to do the next time you feel that intense urge to watch porn?

#81: Maybe...It's Okay (Phrases To Live By)

When we say things like, "I'm feeling tempted," or "That pull is just too strong," or "I just couldn't resist," what do we actually MEAN by those statements? Have you ever thought about this? Answering this question, I believe, helps us get to the true crux of the front line of the porn struggle. This is what we're going to uncover in this episode. We're going to boil down these statements and discover what I believe we're ultimately meaning. And when you do this, you then discover that you can honestly say, "Maybe, it's okay then."

#80: Maybe...It Makes Sense (Phrases To Live By)

The words we say to ourselves impact us in a big way. On the freedom journey, there can be some intense moments. Maybe you've made a decision, and you're committed to being done with porn, to move on to something better and brighter. But though you've made the commitment, you still feel that familiar temptation, that craving. And it is still intense. Just because you've made a decision to pursue freedom and be done with porn, this doesn't magically make the urge stop appearing. You're now having to face the crux and the front line of your journey: how to experience that intense urge, AND not give in to it. And not just one time, but many times. In addition to having a clear, effective, actionable plan in place, something else greatly impacts those intense moments of temptation: What you're thinking. How you THINK about that intense feeling, and what you're believing in that moment, can either aid you and give you that extra boost you need, or it can hamstring you, and make the experience of that urge even more difficult than it already is. In the next two episodes of this podcast, I'm going to share two thoughts/beliefs that I regularly remind myself about when I'm feeling tempted to watch porn. And it helps me tremendously to get through that feeling, to go through it and to process it. The first thought or belief that we're going to dive into in this episode is that maybe, just maybe, it makes sense that you feel tempted. Maybe, it makes sense that you feel intense cravings to go back to porn. We're going to explore this thought together, and I'm confident that it will help you the next time you feel that strong urge!

#79: How to Get Unstuck

Pain is often a powerful catalyst for change. Few things motivate us more than pain that we're experiencing, or the fear of future pain. When it comes to pursuing real freedom from porn, what are YOUR catalysts? What pain have you experienced because of porn? What pain are you currently still experiencing? What future pain do you desperately want to avoid? It's been said before that to create change, we need REASONS. Do you want to feel motivated to create change in your life, and go pedal to the metal and pursue the real Freedom that is possible for you? If so, know your reasons. Know the reasons WHY you desperately want to be free, and remind yourself of them often.  What are your reasons? That's what we're going to discuss and what you're going to uncover for yourself in this episode. And at the end, we're going to talk about how it's true that pain is one of the greatest catalysts and sparks to create change in your life, but there is also a powerful and more healthy fuel that you will absolutely want to tap into to keep the momentum going and sustainable!

#78: Diligence & Dreams (What To DO During the "T" Step)

In the previous episode of this podcast, we talked about the third step of the P.A.T.H. Plan: the timer, setting a timer for ten minutes when you're just going to allow that urge to be there. Because this is the hardest step, and where the rubber meets the road, I gave you two things that I think about during the "T" step that will help you get through those ten minutes, so you can high-five yourself and celebrate a step towards freedom. With that foundation set, in this episode we're going to get very practical as always, and talk about what you can DO during those ten minutes of the "T" step. I'm going to give you two options of what you can do while that timer is counting down. I'm going to tell you exactly what I did when I first started implementing this plan, and what I still do to this day. I'm also going to give you a second option of what you can do, and what I actually wish I would have done when I first started using this plan! This second option will help you hack the T step so that you actually LOOK FORWARD to those intense ten minutes!
