Hi all this is Yin from HK, a boy determined to become a man in 2026. Tmr would be my Day1 of the 7-Day Ascension, Let’s focus on ourselves and make the most of our days, Cheers!

Wanted to make a video to share how I got into ASC, how I feel before and after completing the 7-days awakening and hopefully this video can help the brothers in ASC!

Honestly, before doing the 7-day awakening, my life had already been going in the right direction due to starting no fap 2 weeks ago. But I knew I could always get better and challenge myself, so I decided to give this a try. Cold shower for 7 days at first seems daunting because I have never tried it, and I don't know how I would feel but after 2 or 3 days of doing it. I feel so much better, so much more control and clarity about my life ever since I started waking up at 5 am and doing cold shower. Originally, I was going to do it for only 7 days, but after 3 or 4 days in, I can see the benefits, and I don't want to lose it, so I decided to continue doing it for as long as I can. The last 3 days, cold shower and waking up were relatively easy, but the hard part was fasting, because I exercise a lot, so I also eat a lot, eating is also one of the happiest parts of my life, so cutting that for 3 days was definitely not easy. I remember 60 hours in, I was exhausted, all my bad qualities had amplified, such as the urge to fap, wanting to consume fast food, wanting to be comfortable. It was not easy, but I endured because I wanted to be a man of my word and to grow to be a strong man. And after finishing, I can see how focused and disciplined I can get. Now it really feels like I am on the right path, and I can feel the momentum way more than before I started the 7-day awakening.

During this, i woke up in fear every morning because cold showers were such a challenge for me. But I’d face that fear head-on. I thought the fear would go away after a few days, but it never did. I just learned to live with it. And I’m proud of myself for believing I can always push through. I fasted for about 60+ hours. I thought it wouldn’t be that hard — I was wrong. Day one was already painful. Hunger took over my brain, I had no energy or motivation. Food was everywhere, but I couldn’t touch any of it. After the fast, I started valuing food so much more. I became picky — no more junk. Now I plan my own meals, eat four times a day, and three of them are prepacked. I bring my lunchbox to work. I think my muscle-building goal is coming soon. The only reason made me able to finish these challenges is because I committed to myself. I don’t want to break it. I don’t want to be a coward. I’m not a fking pussy. I’m in control of my body and mind. Through this, I changed a lot of daily habits. I fixed my sleep schedule — now I sleep around 10:30–11:30 PM and wake up 5–7 AM. I have more time to learn and prep my meals. Most importantly, I feel stronger mentally. ⚔️
