Why Consuming Less and Creating More Matters

Scrolling through our feeds deteriorates our mental health if we are not matching our 24/7 consumption-input with nearly the same amount of creation-output

Kerati Apilakvanichakit

There might be too many things to pay attention to and we are consuming at an all time high: over-abundance of information, over-abundance of food, unlimited access to porn and a variety of people to hang out with on a basic surface level.

Is it because you aren't compounding and going deeper?

Consuming less and creating more matters because because consuming provides instant satisfaction no matter the form, an easier rush to achieve that usually doesn’t last and needs to be continuously reupped whereas creating provides more of a prolonged, sustained joy.

The first analogy that hits me is snorting a line of cocaine that lasts 15 minutes and having to constantly reup versus taking acid that lasts hours.

It may be the case that we are creating and expressing less because we get discouraged. We get discouraged because we inadvertently almost always compare ourselves to the cream of the crop.

Localized talent doesn’t exist anymore because technology centralizes attention to the most entertaining creators and most seductive players. There is only national and global talent because technology allows the best to do it for everyone.

Why would I do this when there is someone better doing it already?
What’s the point of this if nobody is going to watch..
I’m so nervous about the amount of likes and views I get, forget it, I’m not going to do it…

We all get this and it happens to every single one of us. Our minds attack us before we can even get started, telling us that we are not as good as Chad or as pretty as her so why bother.

Creation is a form of expression and not expressing ourselves enough while simultaneously devouring every crumb and pixel in sight may be deteriorating our mental health because our monkey-brain naturally succumbs to what’s quick, easy and comfortable.

I am definitely not a licensed psychologist and I can for sure tell you that expressing and sharing something you made from food to crafts feels good.

More than half the time when the light bulb idea flashes in our heads, our monkey-brain attacks us, telling us why it won’t work when we should instead develop auto-pilot habits to figure out ways as to how and why it will work.

For most of us, the default train of thought is pessimism when it should be optimism.

We are so fixated by the number of views and likes that we forget to just express ourselves in any which way. We come up with excuses that we’ll get to it later or that we don’t have enough time when in actuality, the real reason is because we are afraid of what others will think.

Who cares who is reading. Who cares who is watching. Who cares who is listening. Who cares about someone criticizing you, the haters hate because they are too afraid to express anything themselves. Realize this, what people think of you and their opinions of you is none of our business anyways.

We shouldn’t waste the limited amount of time we have worrying about what others will think about us because everyone is really just concerned about what others will think about them.

We are all just in our own heads, playing our own games, on our own paths, consumed by our own thoughts and sometimes it paralyzes us.

It’s time to consume less and create more.

It’s time to record that podcast you and your friends have been talking about forever. Bake that new recipe and share the finishing-touches through your online personal bakery portfolio. Start that project you never got around to because there is no time like now. Entertain your friends & family with goofiness they haven’t seen in a while. Build that new app you think will change the world because we can never have enough cat videos. Keep posting photos of yourself because the people really want it, they just don’t want to admit it.

It doesn’t matter who is peeping, it doesn’t matter who is watching and it doesn’t matter if anyone is liking. It just matters that you are building, making, doing, expressing and creating. The truth might be that the less we consume and the more we create, the happier we become.

What Happens When You Stop Masturbating for a Year?

Masturbation is a form of instant gratification, lack thereof provides more energy, motivation, time, and less excuses.

A couple friends told me that not masturbating for a year was more of an impressive feat than going sober for two. Masturbation may have health benefits for men to help prevent prostate cancer, and for women I certainly don't know one way or the other. What I do suspect is that for both, watching porn daily may pose psychological affects that take root and reveal themselves at a later time. Unless you're watching porn and not masturbating (then you're really an addict), masturbation may be the gateway to porn where some would argue is the real problem if abused or used at all.

If life is a MMORPG (role-playing video game), then going no soda, no coffee, no porn and no masturbation for 2020 were different adventures or pathways you choose to experience life. No soda was probably the easiest and coffee the toughest to put down. Once masturbation went, letting go of porn went with it. Where patience is a virtue, discipline is also.

This is what happens when you stop masturbating:

Multiple wetdream (for dudes)
It forces you to take action and talk to the opposite sex (or same) because you can’t just go home, hop on pornhub to do a quickie
More time
After 5–6 months you really don’t think about it anymore
When you’re horny, you get really horny
It stays up after the first go-around (for dudes)
Delays instant gratification
+15 Discipline Points

There’s a popular saying between boys that once you jerk off you become more logical and if you still want to hang out with her after you unload then you really like her. Is this the case for the opposite direction?

I believe it may be important for both genders to avoid unnecessary masturbation in the specific, and perhaps multiple instances where you really just want to watch porn for instant gratification to your mind’s desires. Maybe use your imagination instead?

I can only speak from a man’s perspective, the moments after masturbation may cause you to instantly lose any motivation you had to interact in a romantic way with the opposite (or same) sex.

Does this extend to the fear of rejection or failure to strike up a friendly conversation with whomever without malice intentions? Whatever happened to being friends without intentions?

Porn may be the obstacle between you and your motivation to socialize with folks and if you would just stop watching so much, you may find less excuses.

In an age of overabundance and unlimited access to free porn on-demand, the temptation to watch porn by pleasing yourself may be mighty, but you are mightier. If you are in control and can stop whenever why don’t you try for 30 days to see what happens?

Change it up a bit.

I went down the rabbit hole of sexual energy and how, although unproven, you can channel your new energy to other means. It’s a decent google search to delve into, I think half of it is placebo anyways so you just gotta trick yourself (like most things).

Bear in mind there is research that suggests masturbation or more specifically, higher ejaculation count (for boys), helps prevent prostate cancer. Striking a fine balance is probably the best way to go as long as you are not looking forward to your favorite porn genre every free night you get.

Masturbation, or more specifically, porn, is a form of instant gratification that if used in an immoderate form may pose psychological or social affects outside of the bed.
