Exercise
The 6th tool in the GYE HB is Physical Activity.
So much of wanting to jerk off is a everything inside of you building up and a need of a release. Whether it be a studying for college, just being bored for a while, the stresses of life, or seeing a bunch of triggers, masturbating can be a feel-good release. Therefore, physical activity can be huge. Its the body releasing in a healthy manner(theres science to prove it with runners high and other stuff). If your like me, and like playing sports, then playing ball is such a good feeling(football or basketball... 1 on 1 any day ). You feel good about being productive because your physically being healthy(and productivity is also another major key) and your releasing so much vent up frustrations and energy inside. Getting into a habit of exercising on a consistent basis can go a long way(It can be one of those habits you pick up when breaking this one)
Stam I think its probably a good idea to be mekabel to go jogging or some other physical activity for 10 mins or something every time before you jerk off, bec it can also get your head in a good spot and focused on something else. (maybe something I'll do later, if needed)
Another good point the HB mentions is that sometimes we feel lazy and tired and not down to exercise. The way to get in the mood is to just go. Once your out there, youll get in the mood and when your finished youll fell so good.

- I also find for myself that committing to too much is a great way to not be active. If I tell myself I'm going to go on a 5 mile run... Probably not gonna happen. A mile walk might be more enticing. #yosef10[2]
- Arsenal check. Weapons I'm missing right now: Workout. With the "emergency state" regulations of my country, the gyms are closed. So weapon number 4 is gone and can't be used for a while. I need to figure out a way to workout at home. I'm not really a jumping-jacks person, but oh well. If it's all about the endorphins, i may be able to get used to it. @Ftndrug
