I'm getting started on what I hope will be my big push. Mirtzeshem, after beating the big 90-day hurdle, I hope I will feel confident enough to begin dating and searching for my bashert. As I increase in my learning, I'm also doing some recreational running. I enjoy it, and it tires me out, so I think it's working as a great strategy for me. Has anyone else used exercise to beat the yetzer? How has it worked?

It's an excellent strategy and is known to work well! We mention it on our Kosher Isle as well...

It also helps to make a vow for a few weeks that before giving in you will take a 10-15 minute jog. You will often find by the time you're done, the urge has gone!
