Ok, so there is no way to erase thoughts other than perhaps amnesia. However, there is a way to not think of certain things, especially lustful things. It’s actually surprisingly simple since you are the master of your mind.
I learned this technique from a friend who was struggling with the same thing. He said this, “What works best is just not thinking of porn. Not only that but also not thinking about ‘not thinking about it’. I know this sounds too simple but trust me it works 100% of the time.”
I was skeptical. He was right, it did sound too simple and I tried everything and thought I had already tried this idea as well. The problem was I never really applied this method effectively. I was so obsessed with conquering my addictions that that was all I ever thought about. If you’re religious I should mention that the Devil loves this tool. It seems like it’s not from him since it appears like a great thing to be thinking about stopping an addiction. However, stopping an addiction starts in the mind. Whatever controls your attention controls your life.
The key to proper implementation of this method is to remember that even thinking about not thinking about something is still in effect thinking about it. Ironic huh. Anyway, the goal is to think about something completely different whenever a momentary thought of the undesirable things enter your mind. This is not easy unless you have prepared beforehand with something at least almost as interesting as the addictive thoughts. You need something that will quickly take your mental attention off the sexually stimulating things and keep it off long enough for the wave of temptation to pass.
I will give you an example. I’m sort of an entrepreneur and love to think of new business ideas. That doesn’t mean I implement any of them. I just love to think about them and also talk to people about them. This is one of the only things that excite me as much if not more sometimes than thinking about lustful things. So in the event that I’m driving along and see a beautiful girl I will immediately shift my thoughts to some of my business ideas and keep it there. I’ll be honest; if I tried to apply this method by thinking about NASCAR then it wouldn’t work because that just doesn’t excite me.
Whatever excites you in life, other than your vices, will become very helpful tools in you escape from addiction. Think of your hobbies or passions. Sometimes you may have to discover a new hobby or passion. I did this. I started experimenting with new hobbies and just trying things out to see what I liked. You’ll be surprised at the things you didn’t realize you would like.
Something to remember is you have more mental power then you probably believe you have right now. One of the goals of addiction, or the devil, is to cause you to believe you no longer have this power. The doubt and depression certainly don’t contribute to self confidence. However, you can climb out of this mental dark abyss and feel free again. It will just take more mental muscle than if you were already practicing self mastery. It’s not as hard as it seems or “someone” would have you believe though.
Lastly, one more thing you should know, a thought entering your mind does not mean you have already given into a thought and you’ve done bad. That’s not true at all. Everybody, and I mean everybody, has bad thoughts enter their mind on a daily basis. What’s important is how you handle those thoughts, which is the purpose of this article. If you choose to dwell on that thought then yes that is bad but if you choose to control your mind and switch to another thought quickly then you have done well. Never get down on yourself though if you don’t apply this method well at first. It takes practice, somethimes a lot of practice which means a lot of learning from mistakes.

To have a dream in your heart that you must make come true, to think about constantly - even wake up at two or three in the morning when everything's still, plotting and scheming new ways to fulfill this desire that's burning so deeply inside, it's no wish or whim - it will not be denied. Imagine it happening - set a picture in your mind, your dream holds the power of how you will find a way that will lead you to all you hold dear, for when the student is ready the teacher will appear. Then strive on believing your dream will come true, be consistent, persistent in all that you do.
You'll come across hurdles - you'll stumble and fall, some days it will seem like your backs against the wall. Frustrated and weary and filled with self-doubt but a voice from within you will rise up and shout, "You know you can do this - just stick to your schemes, don't dwell on the obstacles - focus on your dreams "Be self-disciplined - do whatever it takes for the wall around success is to keep out the fakes. Whether you make them come true or you let your dreams fade, one thing is for certain - a price will be paid. The choice is all yours - which one will it be? The thrill of your victory or the agony of defeat

పరోపకారాయ ఫలంతి వృక్షాః! పరోపకారాయ వహంతి నద్యాః! పరోపకారాయ చరంతి గావః! పరోపకారార్థ మిదం శరీరం!!
This body is to serve the needy, as how the Trees, Rivers and Cows do...
As I was passing by the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg.
No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. I saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.
"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.
"I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?
Wise say, "Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt."

కాలం నిర్ణయిస్తుంది జీవితం లో ఎవరిని కలవాలో..మనసు చెపుతుంది మనకి జీవితాంతం ఎవరు కావాలో..కానీ మన ప్రవర్తన చెపుతుంది మన వెంట నడిచే వ్యక్తులు ఎవరనేది
నిద్రలేమి ఒక రకమైన ఇబ్బంది, అయితే ఏ అర్ధరాత్రికో, తెల్లవారుజాముకో నిద్రపట్టి ఉదయం లేవలేకపోవడం మరో సమస్య. మారుతున్న జీవనశైలిలో వీటి బారిన పడేవాళ్లు ఎక్కువవుతున్నారు. ఈ సమస్యకు దూరంగా ఉండడానికి మీరేం చేస్తున్నారు? ఒకసారి చెక్ చేసుకుంటారా?
1.పగలు ఎక్కువగా అలసట అనిపించినా కూడా అరగంటకు మించకుండా కునుకు తీస్తారు తప్ప ఎక్కువ సేపు నిద్రపోవడం లేదు.
ఎ. అవును
బి. కాదు
2.మధ్యాహ్నం మూడు దాటిన తర్వాత పది నిమిషాల పాటు కునుకు తీసినా సరే ఆ రాత్రి సరిగా నిద్రపట్టదు. కాబట్టి మీరు మూడు గంటల తర్వాత నిద్రపోరు.
ఎ. అవును
బి. కాదు
3.శారీరక వ్యాయామాన్ని వీలును బట్టి ఉదయం నుంచి మధ్యాహ్నం రెండులోపు చేస్తున్నారు. సాయంత్రం ఎక్సర్‌సైజ్ చేస్తే అప్పుడు ఉత్తేజితమైన దేహం విశ్రాంతిని కోరే సరికి అర్ధరాత్రి దాటవచ్చని మీకు తెలుసు.
ఎ. అవును
బి. కాదు
4. కెఫీన్ ఉత్తేజాన్నిస్తుంది, కాబట్టి కెఫీన్ ఉన్న పానీయాలను సాయంత్రం నాలుగు తర్వాత తీసుకోకుండా పరిమితిని పాటిస్తున్నారు.
ఎ. అవును
బి. కాదు
5. ఒక్కో రోజు ఒక్కో సమయానికి నిద్రపోవడం వల్ల బాడీక్లాక్ ఒక నిర్ణీత సమయాన్ని పాటించదు. కాబట్టి నిద్రకు ఉపక్రమించడానికి కచ్చితమైన సమయాన్ని పాటిస్తున్నారు.
ఎ. అవును
బి. కాదు
6.ఐరన్ లోపం కూడా నిద్రపట్టకపోవడానికి కారణమవుతుంటుంది. కాబట్టి ఆ రకంగా కూడా ఆలోచించి డాక్టరు సలహా తీసుకోవాలని మీకు తెలుసు.
ఎ. అవును
బి. కాదు
మీ సమాధానాల్లో 'ఎ'లు ఐదుకంటే ఎక్కువగా వస్తే మీకు నిద్రలేమి, ఆలస్యంగా నిద్రపట్టడం వంటి సమస్యలు లేవని అర్థం. నిద్రపట్టకపోవడం అనే సమస్యతో బాధపడుతుంటే 'ఎ'లను సూచనలుగా భావించి జీవనశైలిని మార్చుకుంటే సరిపోతుంది.
