New Paths
If you're on the excellent and noble journey to break free from the grips of porn, there’s one truth you can’t ignore: you will have to face temptation—again and again. It’s not a matter of if but when. You WILL feel that pull, that craving to turn to porn.
And you will feel it hundreds, if not thousands of times.
I call this the "frontline" of your freedom journey.
The great news is, anyone can learn how to effectively, repeatedly handle the frontline temptation, and come out victorious on the other side.
And, you can learn how to do it in a way where it actually becomes a skill that you get better and better at.
After struggling with porn for over 20 years, it was learning this skill that finally freed me and catapulted me into the exhilarating freedom that I'm living in now.
How do you learn this skill? There are three essential pieces that you need in place (The Frontline Framework).
The first essential piece of The Frontline Framework is a PLAN. But not just any plan. You need a plan that is practical, repeatable, and EFFECTIVE.
When you have a predetermined, effective plan, you go from unsure...to unshakable.
In this episode, you're going to walk away equipped with a clear plan that is not only practical, but it specifically addresses the direct cause of the behavior you desperately want to stop.
Freedom is possible for you, and it all starts with the right plan!

Have you ever felt like pursuing freedom from porn is nothing but a constant, tiring practice of "no, don't, and won't"?
Is freedom nothing more than simply abstaining?
What if the "don'ts and won'ts" are only half of the freedom picture? What if saying, "Yes!" is just as important as saying "No"? Maybe freedom is so much more than simply the practice of abstaining.
In this new episode of The New Paths Podcast, you're going to hear about Mike, who took a simple, but powerful step that illustrates the other side of the freedom coin that we often neglect. Not only will you be encouraged and inspired, but you will also walk away with a very practical exercise for how to take action and positive, exciting steps towards real freedom. In other words, moving out of something life-choking, and INTO something life-giving!

If you've ever tried to stop watching porn, you're very familiar with the #1 roadblock: those pesky urges. You know what I mean. Those temptations, those cravings that hit you when you're alone, even when you've made promises and commitments to never do it again.
Here's a question that maybe you've never asked before:
How do you SEE those urges? How do you think about those intense cravings and temptations?
How you see those urges is absolutely pivotal, and it will actually make or break your journey to freedom. In the 20 years I struggled with porn, I never once thought to even question or examine HOW I viewed the one thing that kept me chained to this life-choking habit.
In this episode of The New Paths Podcast, I want to offer a unique perspective on your urges that I guarantee you've never heard before! This episode will cause you to rethink how you've viewed your urges. You'll walk away with a different perspective that you can start implementing, and clear steps on how to adjust your approach (and ultimately your results) in light of this new perspective.
So listen in, and hopefully you'll be a little entertained, but mostly inspired to implement this different perspective and approach. Because doing so can literally become your doorway into a life of lasting, exhilarating freedom!

Pursuing real, lasting freedom can seem like a daunting task. We're told it can take years. There are so many different things we're told to do. It can all feel overwhelming, and sometimes we're tempted to just give up on freedom.
Well, what if you suddenly discovered that, when you boil it down, there is actually only ONE thing, ONE hurdle, standing between you and a life if exhilarating freedom?
AND, what if someone handed you a step-by-step, actionable plan to effectively get over that one hurdle?
That's exactly what you're going to walk away with in this new episode of The New Paths Podcast! Listen in to discover the one that you ultimately have to face in order to step into the fresh air of freedom.
And the great news is, it's not as daunting as you might think! Especially when you have an actionable, repeatable plan to get over this one hurdle (oh, and I'm giving you the plan in this episode for FREE!).
It doesn't matter if you've struggled for ten months, ten years, or longer. The one hurdle is still the same! And you CAN leap over it. On the other side is a life of confidence, peace, and exciting new horizons and possibilities!

If you're trying to pursue freedom from porn, freedom must mean something to you. It must have some level of value or importance in your mind, right? Otherwise you wouldn't pursue it.
But just how valuable is it? Imagine if you could put some numbers to that question. Imagine if you could start to define just HOW valuable freedom is in your life, and if you discovered that it is worth far more than you initially thought.
That's what you're going to discover in this new episode of The New Paths Podcast. We're going to attempt to quantify the value of freedom in your life, and we're going to attempt to do this in two different ways. And in the second way, you're actually going to calculate a number specific to your situation that will illustrate just how valuable freedom will be for you.
We prioritize the things in our life that we believe are valuable, right? So, if the value of freedom increases in your mind, this will automatically accelerate your journey and achievement of the fresh air of freedom in your life.
Just how valuable is freedom? Let's explore this question and start to quantify it!

If you want to achieve and live in freedom from porn, how you think about it is going to be extremely important. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if your thinking is not dialed in, it will be impossible for you to sustain long-term freedom.
Why is this? Because how you think about your struggle is determining your approach to achieving freedom. So if you're thinking is not dialed into a perspective that is serving you, your approach and your strategy will be ineffective. Handling those intense moments of temptation will feel like trying to stop a large wave coming in from the ocean.
But when you make a slight adjustment to how you SEE this struggle, effectively handling those frontline temptations become something that you can do over and over again, in a way that builds upon itself, just like a skill. In this new episode of The New Paths Podcast, I want to help you dial in your thinking, using two illustrations that helped me tremendously. These two analogies directly boosted and supercharged my approach and my strategy.And the second illustration that you will hear is the specific imagery that I had in my mind during the weeks that I began to achieve the life-changing and exhilarating freedom that I had been seeking for decades.

You know that moment when you find yourself alone, and you're hit with that familiar thought to search for those images or videos? And then BOOM! That temptation floods you like a tsunami.And if you're on the freedom journey, if you've made a decision to be free of this habit, your response to that temptation is probably, "Argh! No! Not again. This is just too hard. It's too hard to resist!"I know that was my response most of the time during the 20 years that I struggled with porn.But what if you had a slight shift in your freedom strategy, and it caused you to start seeing those frontline moments of temptation...as opportunities? And that each time that temptation flooded you, it became an instance where you were able to take that mountain called temptation, and start breaking it down into something manageable.Something that you can absolutely handle.That's what you're going to discover on this new episode of The New Paths Podcast. You're going to walk away with a practical step that will turn that frontline temptation into a precious moment, rather than a crushing tsunami of doom. In other words, you will begin transforming the obstacle to your freedom into an opportunity!Want to know EXACTLY what to do the next time you feel that intense urge to watch porn? Get the P.A.T.H.

If you've ever tried breaking the porn habit, one thing becomes apparent very quickly: It's really hard. It feels impossible to not give in sometimes.
You can make promises to yourself or your loved ones. You can make plans for what you will do instead. Only to find yourself in the heat of the moment, and those promises and plans go out the window.
I know I said this to myself thousands of times: "It's just too hard!" Freedom, or anything even resembling freedom, can seem like a pipe dream. A castle in the air.
But all those years that I struggled, there was a question I never asked. WHAT...is too hard? What exactly is making it feel impossible NOT to give in?
Have you ever asked this question? Have you ever really defined WHAT is making it so difficult to not watch porn?
If you could discover this, wouldn't it be sort of important?! Wouldn't that be discovering the real culprit, the crux, the main hurdle that is preventing your freedom and ultimately a new life??
Well, I have good news...amazing news actually. You can uncover this for yourself with a simple experiment.
In this new episode of The New Paths Podcast, I'm going to walk you through an easy experiment that will reveal what exactly is blocking your path forward. In other words, you will discover why you haven't been able to stop, AND, it will make it clear where to focus your efforts and energy going forward.
So put on your white lab coat, put on your protective eyewear, and get ready to switch into scientist mode!

And maybe you've attempted to move on, but it feels like you're somehow still tied to this struggle. It's almost like a friend that you're trying to end your relationship with, but he just keeps showing up.

Here's a problem: we only have so much bandwidth, energy, attention, and focus. And with these limited resources, we pursue lasting freedom so that we can start taking our time and our lives back.What if your already-limited energy and attention is being further diluted in the way it's being used? What if it's being scattered in ways that are going to make freedom much harder for you to achieve than it has to be?The good news is there's one easy adjustment you can make that will 10X your energy and efforts to achieve freedom.In this new episode of The New Paths Podcast, you're going to walk away with a simple and practical tool that you can start using immediately that will magnify your efforts like a laser, so that you can be done with porn once and for all, and start living a life of freedom that you only dreamed was possible!Want to know EXACTLY what to do the next time you feel that intense urge to watch porn?

Growing up, did you ever pretend to be a ninja?
As a kid, I was regularly imagining myself as a karate master, a ninja, a giant martial arts turtle, or whatever TV show or video game was inspiring me that given week.
What if I told you that becoming a ninja could actually be the missing piece to your freedom?
In this new episode of The New Paths Podcast, you're going to discover how to handle your next craving like a martial arts master. And, how essential it is to select the right "style" of martial arts when facing that intense urge, so you don't actually strengthen and intensify the urge, making it even more difficult for yourself.
So suit up, grab your ninja stars and smoke bomb, and get ready to step into a new and exhilarating life of freedom!

When we are in that intense moment of temptation, when that intense craving is flooding us to pull up that image or website, we typically only see two responses. Either we give in to the craving, or we try to RESIST the craving.
And this is a serious conundrum, because these are both terrible options.
If you want to live a life free of the downward cycle of porn doom, then giving in is not a good option.
But if you've ever tried to resist the temptation and the craving, then you know how difficult this is as well. Resisting the craving can almost never give you a winning track record, and as the saying goes, "what you resist, persists."
Both options are lacking. And if neither one will lead to lasting freedom, then what in the heck are we supposed to do in those inevitable moments of temptation and craving?
The life-saving news is that there is a third option. In this third option, you don't have to try and resist, you don't have to give into the behavior that you want so desperately to stop, and this third option is actually the option that finally set me free from a 20+ year porn addiction.
That's what you're going to hear about in this new episode. You will walk away with the game plan to begin implementing this third option. And after listening, you will never again have to succumb to the false belief that you only have two options when it comes to handling those intense cravings, and ultimately, achieving lasting freedom.

What does it take to achieve real freedom from unwanted behaviors? What "ingredients" do you need to have in place to finally experience the freedom that's been alluding you for maybe a very long time?
Maybe you've heard answers to this question before:
"You need community."
"You need filters and accountability software."
"You need to dive into the roots of your childhood and past."
"You need a trained counselor."
Do these sound familiar? Are these helpful and important? Without a doubt.
But what I found on my journey into freedom is that there are three other essential ingredients that are generally less talked about. And it was only AFTER I embedded these three ingredients into my life that I finally stepped into the freedom that I was desperate for.
In this new episode we're going to explore these three often skipped-over but absolutely pivotal ingredients for you to achieve lasting freedom. I'm going to go so far as to say that attaining lasting freedom is virtually impossible without all three of these factors in place.
And they might not be what you think.

Cell phones are wonderful things. They help us stay in touch with friends, family, and loved ones. They enable us to record special memories as they are happening. They give us the ability to learn or be entertained anytime and any place. The benefits of having a cell phone are pretty astounding, and it's hard to remember what life was like before cell phones (if you're old enough to remember that!).On the other side of this double-edged sword, thanks to our cell phone, we also have instant access to view anything we want, any minute, of every day, no matter where we are. And we have this access all the time, because our cell phone is always by our side, including right now, no?Is it any wonder that porn use is so common, given the situation we are in? Our cell phone can become a black hole that pulls us into a cycle of porn doom that feels impossible to escape.But there is good news. Your cell phone can become a helpmate, rather than a hindrance to your freedom journey. In this episode, I'm going to share three practical tips that I have personally used, and that you can use starting today, to turn your cell phone into a freedom sidekick.If you just use any one of these tips, your cell phone will start to contribute to, rather than constrict, your path towards the freedom you desperately desire!So let's go!Want to know EXACTLY what to do the next time you feel that intense urge to watch porn?

What if your past was not an indicator of your future?
What if you put blinders on to the past attempts at being free from porn? What if you were no longer beat down and hamstrung by the little voice that whispers, "You've tried to be free before, and look at what happened. There's no point in trying. You'll just be disappointed again"?
Imagine instead if you could only see the road ahead. And the only focus, the only step to take was forward. No more 500-pound gorilla of past failures weighing you down. No more deflated, hopeless, futile feelings fueled by the past. Instead, your attention is placed solely on, "What's the next step forward?"
In this episode, you're not only going to discover just how powerful this shift is, but we're going to get practical as always, and you will walk away with the steps to start doing this immediately!

What if you could skyrocket the probability that you will experience lasting freedom? What if you could stack the odds in your favor in a very real way?
After experiencing both sides of the porn struggle, and having interacted with many guys over multiple years, there are some common components that I have seen and experienced for myself that greatly increase the probability of real freedom.
I have found that four game-changing factors have the greatest impact on how quickly and how likely freedom is achieved.
In this episode, you're going to discover these four "Freedom Factors." You're also going to find out whether you're already using these ingredients in your own journey, and if not, how to start applying these game-changers right away!

What can an animated feature film teach us about achieving freedom? What? Am I the only person that's ever asked that question? Well we're going to answer it in the newest episode of The New Paths Podcast!
We're also going to explore this staggering realization: If you think about it, the only way to achieve real freedom is to NOT give in to an intense craving. And to do this many, many times.
Thankfully, there is one way to effectively and repeatedly do this. In fact, there is only one way that I know of, and it's brought me a level of freedom I had only dreamed of.
In order to get out of a tempting situation and emerge triumphant, you must go THROUGH.
That's right, the only way out...is through.
Through what? And how can you start doing this immediately? Like, with your very next craving? That's what you're going to discover in this newest episode!

Which of these two statements would you say describes your situation?
"I make plans and promises to not give in, but when I feel a craving, I almost always give in. It's like the craving takes over and the promises go out the window."
Or...
"When I feel a craving, it can be intense and uncomfortable, but it's rare for the craving to drive my behavior. It's not the boss anymore."
If you resonate with the first statement and you want to be able to confidently declare the second statement, this episode is for you.
In this episode I'm going to share with you a pivotal step that I took to shift from the first statement to the second. You're going to walk away with a few practical steps to loosen the grip and control that your urges will have on you going forward.
And to illustrate how to do this, we're going to look at a famous scene from one of my favorite movies, The Lord of the Rings!

Wouldn't it be nice if, on this freedom journey, we could say "Yes" sometimes?It can feel like the journey towards freedom is nothing but a commitment to saying "No!" And it can feel exhausting at times.What if we could make a shift, and we could reach true freedom faster by actually saying "Yes."

Pain is sometimes the best teacher.
But it doesn't have to be.
Oftentimes, meaningful and positive change only happens after experiencing a massive amount of pain. What you're going to get in this episode is an invitation to skip the step of massive pain, and just go right into the positive, meaningful change. Let's cut out the middleman here.
And you're going to walk away with a practical step that you can take immediately, so you don't have to hit rock bottom in order to make the change that you desperately want!

Oftentimes, when we feel an urge to do that behavior that we don't want to do, it can feel like this big, overwhelming force. We experience it as a powerful tidal wave that seems to take over and drive us to do what we don't want to do. It feels too powerful, too immense to resist.
What if you could pull back the curtain on your urge, and discover what it REALLY is? And what if discovering this for yourself suddenly made experiencing urges much less overwhelming, and far more manageable? If you could do this, then you would no longer have to give in to the urge. With this newfound perspective on the urge, you could move THROUGH it far more easily, paving the path to true freedom.
In this episode, you're going to learn why decoding your urges is a powerful practice. And as always, I'll give you practical steps you can take immediately to begin decoding your urges, so you can demystify that previously overwhelming temptation, and break it down into something that you can absolutely handle!

What if you could achieve an unprecedented victory even at the end of a long, stressful day? What if you could achieve massive wins, successes, and real steps towards freedom, even when your willpower and self-discipline are completely spent?
In other words, what if achieving real freedom didn't have to depend on your level of motivation, willpower, self-discipline, or simply how you're feeling that day?
This was exactly what I experienced when I got one simple thing in place.
That's what we're going to discuss in this episode, and you're going to walk away knowing exactly what you need to get in place so that your freedom will no longer depend on how you're feeling on a given day.
Your success does not have to be hamstrung by your stress. You're going to discover and learn how to have unprecedented wins, even on a bad day!

Have you ever noticed just how much of your mental energy gets allocated towards the things you don't want to happen? Or, just how much of your attention is focused on the things you don't want?
Our default is to focus on the things that we don't want, what MIGHT happen, what we're worried about happening, things we don't want to happen. Also, the men we don't want to become, the behaviors we don't want to do.
It's kind of crazy when you stop to pay attention how much we focus on the things we don't want!
This is normal, and natural, but is it helpful? And actually, does it hinder, rather than help us? Specifically, in the pursuit of freedom from porn.
In this episode, you're going to discover how to start making a shift in your attention from what you don't want, to the things you truly want. And how this not only helps bring more joy and excitement to your life, but also how, in a very real way, it will help pave the path forward towards real freedom.
And, as always, we're going to get very practical, and I'm going to give you two ways that you can begin to make this shift daily, starting today!

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.
Let's go!

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 :)

What if you could start to feel confident about facing that next temptation?
To take it a step further, what if you actually started to LOOK FORWARD to the next temptation, because you knew how to transform it into an opportunity for growth and freedom.
This is what we're going to discuss in the newest episode of The New Paths Podcast. You'll hear about how I was completely surprised when I experienced this for myself, AND, how you can do the exact same thing.
If you implement the steps I outline in this episode, you won't ever have to fear the temptation again. And, you'll know how to transform each urge into an opportunity!

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."

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!

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!

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!

The third step of the P.A.T.H. Plan, the "T" step, is where the rubber meets the road. It's the most challenging step of the plan. But it's ultimately where the skill of freedom is learned.
To help you become successful during those ten minutes of the "T" step, in this episode you're going to hear two things that I regularly think about and remember during this step that has greatly helped me, and that I think will help you.
Hint: it's actually a friend, and it's a workout!

No matter what stage you're at in your freedom journey, there is one essential key that you must have if you want to experience real freedom.

You may or may not fully realize this, but you have patterns.
So much of what we do on a day to day is in autopilot mode. In fact, studies estimate that 95% of the thoughts we have are the same as the previous day!
We're creatures of habit. And this is absolutely the case with the porn habit.
When it comes to your habit of watching porn, there are predictable patterns that you fall into. But the good news is that you can easily start to become aware of these patterns.
And the GREAT news is: awareness of your patterns supercharges the power of your plan. If you can be fully aware of your pattern, you can enhance your potential for freedom in a massive way...real, lasting, exhilarating freedom.
That's what you're going to walk away with in this episode. You're going to quickly and easily start to see what your patterns are. AND, I'm going to give you a tool so you can USE the knowledge of your patterns to your advantage. This tool I'm going to give you was one of the biggest game changers that accelerated my path to freedom, and it's a tool I still use virtually every day.
So let's go!

Back a couple episodes ago, we looked at three "mistakes" that I was making for many years in my pursuit to be free from porn. And I believe that these are very common mistakes that so many guys are making right now, possibly including yourself.
In the previous episode we drove a bit deeper into the first mistake that I was making, which was tracking my streaks rather than my wins. And in this episode we're going to dive a bit deeper and get a little more practical around the second mistake that I was making.
This second mistake that we're going to dive into today is viewing the urge to watch porn as an enemy, rather than as a friend simply trying to help.
Now, you may not even be fully aware of how you SEE that urge. You may not even be THINKING about how you THINK about your struggle! I never did. It never dawned on me to explore how I VIEWED that desire within me.
But this is absolutely huge to explore for yourself, because how you view your desire for porn will directly determine how you HANDLE and RESPOND to that desire when it hits you. The way you see your desire for porn is your internal roadmap, your automatic response, to how you will handle that urge when it hits you, and whether that response is an effective strategy, or an ineffective strategy.
This is why our perspective on our struggle is not only essential, it will significantly (if not absolutely) determine whether or not you will achieve freedom, and how QUICKLY you will start experiencing it. This is why it's so important to examine and discuss your PERSPECTIVE, and how you view your desire for porn.
In this episode we're going to discuss why viewing this struggle as an enemy, rather than as a friend, hindered my progress rather than helped it. I'm going to give you one specific exercise you can do immediately that will help you make this shift, and put you in a better position to effectively handle and process the next urge that you feel, and build that skill that will lead you to the exhilarating freedom that I know you desperately want for yourself.

In the last episode of this podcast, we looked at three mistakes that I made in my pursuit of freedom, and which I believe most guys are making as well. Most importantly, we discussed what to do INSTEAD.
When I made these pivotal changes, that's when I finally started experiencing the freedom that had been alluding me for over 20 years.
In the next three episodes, I'm going to dive a bit deeper into each of these mistakes, because they were absolutely game changers in my journey. And I believe it will be for you as well.
In this episode we're going to discuss Mistake #1 that I was making: tracking my "streaks." You're going to discover why this approach just doesn't line up with reality. And as always, you're going to walk away knowing exactly what you can do INSTEAD, that will fuel your journey and accelerate the exhilarating freedom that is absolutely possible for you!

When trying to stop watching porn, there are a few default habits that we tend to fall into, ways of going about trying to pursue freedom. We usually don't question the approach we're taking. We just start doing what seems to make the most sense.
And if we're not seeing results, we figure we just have to try harder.
Back in episode 41, we discovered that when it comes to HOW to pursue freedom from porn, what appears "obvious" is often not the case. We sort of default our way into the HOW, not realizing that the default, common sense way of doing it may actually not be the most effective.
And actually, the common sense way can actually hinder our progress.
This is what I gradually discovered when I finally started experiencing the exhilarating freedom that I didn't know was possible.
When I shifted my approach, freedom came not be trying harder, but by doing things differently.
As I discovered a different way to take steps towards freedom, there were three specific things that I had gotten in the habit of doing previously. They seemed to make perfect sense, but I started to see that they were not helping me. They may have actually been part of the reason WHY I had been experiencing freedom in the first place.
In this episode, we're going to look at each of these three "mistakes" that I made, and that I think most guys are currently making as well. And most importantly, we'll discuss what you can start doing INSTEAD, that will help you finally start to gain some serious traction. And if you make these changes, you'll begin to experience massive progress towards real freedom!

In the last episode, we looked at the barriers in your life, those internal obstacles that seem to block you from living in true freedom, and becoming more of the man you truly want to be. We uncovered how those barriers are actually difficult emotions that you run up against in the moment.
Let's recap briefly, and then we're going to take it a step further, and discuss the "How." We're going to get very practical, and look at some actionable, concrete things that you can DO, both in the moment when you are feeling that intense feeling, and a quick daily tool that you can practice in ADVANCE, that will help you take the necessary steps when you are IN that intense moment.
Maybe for you, you want to be a good husband or significant other, but you get in those moments of anger and resentment, and those intense feelings stop you from being the husband you truly want to be. You want to be a good father, but the kids disobey, you get frustrated and angry, and the way you respond is not in line with that vision of the dad you want to be.
Or, you want to stop watching porn, but you get that familiar, intense craving to pull up the computer or phone and you feel powerless against it.
Those obstacles of difficult feelings that arise in the moment, are actually where your growth and progress BEGIN. In other words, they are not barriers, they are doorways. Those difficult feelings are your frontiers.
And if you can learn the skill of moving through those difficult emotions, on the other side is that vision of the man you truly want to be. On the other side is freedom.
So how do you actually move through that frontier? How DO you turn that obstacle into a doorway? That's what you're going to walk away with in this episode. So let's dive in!

Do you ever have those moments when you say or do something, and there's a voice inside you that says, "This is not in line with the man I want to be"?
You intuitively have this image or vision of the man that you are striving to become. But sometimes, the things you do or say are not in line with that vision.
It's like there's some sort of block, an internal barrier that prevents you from becoming more like the man you want to be.
In this episode of The New Paths Podcast, you're going to discover what that internal block actually is.
And, we'll discuss how it isn't a barrier. It's actually a doorway.
It's a FRONTIER, beyond which lies your freedom and growth!

"That of which we are not aware, owns us."
"No freedom is possible, no authentic choice, where consciousness is lacking."
-James Hollis
So in other words, if we want to live a life of freedom, rather than repeating the same behaviors that we regret, over and over and over, consciousness and awareness are regular tools that we absolutely must be using.
Why is this the case? And what can you actually DO in order to become more conscious and aware, so that you can really live in freedom?
That's what you're going to be equipped with in this episode of The New Paths Podcast!

What is freedom? What does it actually look like in real life?
After two decades of struggling with porn, and now being on the other side and experiencing the fresh air of freedom, I have realized that freedom comes down to learning a specific skill:
The skill of effectively processing the urge when you feel it.
That's it. It's a skill to learn.
How do you learn any skill? You simply practice. You get in your reps. If you do this, it's inevitable that you WILL learn this skill.
This is what we're exploring in the newest episode of The New Paths Podcast. And as always, we'll get very practical. You'll walk away with some specific next steps that you can take, so you can start living in the fresh air of freedom!

Have you ever stopped to notice the repeatable pattern in the instances that you watch porn? The time of day, the location, the circumstance?
The vast majority of the times that we have given in to watching porn, we probably could have predicted it in advance, because it was a pattern that we have been in many times before.
This is very normal, very common, AND....very useful in helping you in a very real way on your journey to freedom. You may not have stopped to think about it before, but the predictability of your struggle can be hacked and used to accelerate your freedom. And that's what we're going to discuss in this episode of The New Paths Podcast.
As a BONUS, I'm also going to give you a very practical tool to begin hacking this predictability immediately so you can start taking very real steps towards true, lasting freedom!

It's been said that experience, not knowledge, is what changes us. You may have heard me talk on this podcast about implementing the P.A.T.H. Plan the next time you feel the urge to watch porn. But, have you experienced what it feels like to actually go through all four steps in response to an urge? In this episode, I'm simply encouraging you to try it, using the powerful words...of my former college roommate.

Some life-changing truths are not always the most obvious. When you feel that urge to watch porn, the natural, go-to response of trying to resist and fight against it may not be the best or most effective strategy. The most helpful response is actually not obvious, and quite counterintuitive. That's what we'll look at in this episode!
