Just answer the question for yourself, if you can, with one word
Has learning away from home been detrimental to your kedusha, yes or no

I was texting with a chaver about giving in to porn qua stress relief, and mentioned that while it doesn't solve any problems, it often numbs me for the time I'm engaging in acting out. His follow up question was what healthy mechanisms do I have to cope with stress. My best answer was drinking. . . 

This goes back to a question I've often struggled with - what's the healthy alternative? To put in the 3 circles lingo, what are good green circle activities. 

I personally am b"h pretty busy, and in between kids, davening, learning, and work don't see much time to fit in a structured activity. And yet somehow find plenty of time of lust, but that's perhaps a different discussion. But I suspect I'm just not thinking about it well enough.

So here's my question for the oilam: What's your green circle activity?

Curious to hear both productive activities you go to b'shas an urge that can keep you busy with healthy things and productive engaging things that keep you busy so the urges don't develop]]> Break Free Sun, 29 Jun 2025 19:18:29 +0000 https://guardyoureyes.com/forum/1-Break-Free/438084-Green-circle-activities#438084 https://guardyoureyes.com/forum/1-Break-Free/438080-Advise#438080 https://guardyoureyes.com/forum/1-Break-Free/438080-Advise#438080 I need some advise. I have Spotify on a quin which has explicit music turned off but there are still super inappropriate music videos that just can't be blocked. I use Spotify for Jewish and Israeli music, podcasts and shiurim. But the music videos are causing me to fall again and again. I will delete Spotify if thats what it takes but surely there's gotta be a way of blocking the music videos either through the phone itself or through Spotify app. I really don't want to give it up but if I have no other option I will. What do the oilam advise?]]> Break Free Sun, 29 Jun 2025 17:46:21 +0000 https://guardyoureyes.com/forum/1-Break-Free/438080-Advise#438080
