מהפכה של קדושה - כנס שמור עיניך בירושלים - יום שני הקרוב

ביום שני הקרוב, ג' ניסן, 11 באפריל, יתקיים בירושלים בפעם הרביעית - הכנס השנתי של ארגון שמור עיניך.

אם היית באחד הכנסים הקודמים, אתה בודאי יודע שזאת הזדמנות נדירה לקבל הרבה עוצמה, השראה והחלמה!

הכנס מתאים הן לחברים חדשים שזו להם הפעם הראשונה שם "קופצים למים" והן לחברים ותיקים.

למרות החששות, למרות הלו"ז הצפוף לפני פסח, האירוע הזה הוא דבר שלא כדאי לוותר עליו.

הכנס יתקיים בירושלים, המיקום המדוייק יימסר לנרשמים.

לרישום או מידע נוסף פנה כעת באימייל: pnima.gye@gmail.com (אנא כתוב "רוצה להירשם" או "register").

הזדרזו לפני שתיסגר ההרשמה!

בשבילך,

שמור עיניך

VIDEO #1 - DEALING WITH FAILURE

"

Every once in a while you feel like a failure. Maybe you failed a particular test; you blew it, or in general you're at a stage in life where you realize that I'm not quite who I could be, who I should be, who I would be. One of the great life lessons is how to deal with that.

I'd like to share with you an interesting observation. David Hamelech (King David), when he was king of Israel, said to Hashem bechanani (test me). And Hashem said I will test you, but it's going to be an incredibly difficult test. The test in fact was in the area of arayos (illicit relations).

25 Steps to Beating Porn Addiction
 

Please check out the full guide to beating porn addiction in this final issue (For the first in the series, please refer to issue #1436). The creators of the infographic have taken each of the 25 strategies and provided clear practical actions to take in detail:

TRAVEL & VOLUNTEER

Travelling and volunteering are two proven activities that ex-porn users say have helped them add texture and meaning to their lives. Seeing new places and helping people less fortunate than yourself can give you a different perspective on life. And you never know, you might meet someone wonderful to have a real relationship with.

Filling your time with meaningful real activities is essential to beating porn.
