That's what fascinates me - twists and turns every step of the way, yet it's all so very gentle I can't even describe it. Without E2, I'd probably be emotionally burnt by day 3 and in need of a big rest (1-2 full days) to recharge my batteries - and I'm speaking from experience here.
Here I feel you're indirectly referencing the emotional resilience I felt early on with E2. It's stuck with me even now that I'm using BASE, which wasn't the case last year during the first run.
So much bad crap was happening (paypal account getting limited, and business slowing down) that I couldn't believe how unfazed i was. I knew in the back of my mind that things were going to get better, as they always do, but in the past I know I would be a borderline nervous wreck where sleep would be greatly affected.
E2 actually fixed my sleeping cycle somewhat, even while things weren't so good consciously. That's a pretty odd mix if you think about it; sleep is somehow better despite life growing steadily more hectic / chaotic.
I do, still, seriously feel as if a small one month E2 run will help again after my current run of BASE. But we'll see how things turn out in the next 6 odd months.
(John Carlton's SWS 2.0, Freelance Course and Kickass Copywriting Secrets are all incredible, by the way. I've been reading and listening to those this week since I've got them - hot stuff! )
Yeah, I can relate a lot. Naturally, the specific experiences are different for me, but E2's modus operandi is very easy to spot overall. It's very cool to see I'm not making this stuff up.
I also understand why you would consider another E2 run in-between rounds of BASE. The 5G approach of powering through resistance is bound to push emotions to the surface and a short run of E2 would likely dissolve them and make the next run more efficient (and pleasant).
Regarding sleep, I had my own issues while on BASE when I worked late (since I was a night owl on BASE mostly) but they mostly resolved when I decided to dedicate my last 30-60 minutes of every day to listening to cool audio info-products.
Anyway, I'm happy you're having a blast with JC's products. I myself am devouring some of the classic books from the dawn of copywriting and I'm definitely impressed. These people had noone to turn to for information but themselves and it's... well, an honor to be reading these books. Definitely beginning to understand why people cherish their hard copies so much.
