Aaand a couple more observations regarding E2:
- Very little desire to exercise whatsoever. I've been running E2 for what... 20 days now, and I've only had two workouts and they were half-decent at best. The thing is - it used to affect my mood when I didn't work out for more than 2-3 days. These reminders were often enough to get me back on track. Now, with all this love flooding, I feel good no matter what. I don't have as much physical energy as when I do work out, but my mood is great. I am getting just slightly out of shape, so I'll have to find another way to incentivize myself
- Another desire has decreased a lot. This might actually freak the relatively younger crowd out a little bit.
Anyway - yes, the desire for sex is a lot less. The desire for intimacy on the other hand is through the roof. Maybe it's a balancing thing, since I've never been that good at intimacy and the healing is just making it obvious what I've been missing. Whatever it is... intimacy takes precedence over sex for me right now. It doesn't preclude sex, but... well... sex seems like kind of a distraction at the moment. I might also be working through some sexual stuff right now though.
- Productivity is up! Still some way to go, but I'm seeing behaviors that three rounds of BASE rarely delivered. I credit the self-validation module (or if there isn't one, then something similar that *is* there)
Basically, I'm learning to accept the fact that as an ENTP, I'm not enjoying the "high work ethic"-approach to work. Instead, I've made sure I have 4-5 different things to do that compete for my attention constantly. That would mean reading a book, doing work for a client, watching the Olympics, writing key strategy points for a presidential candidate's campaign that I'm "co-running", listening to music, conversing with a friend through Messenger, etc, etc - all happening at the same time. Sounds like ADD on steroids and it probably is, but I'm happy, I'm fulfilled and I'm getting work done. Usually this would mean burnout in 1-2 hours, but E2 keeps everything running smoothly. I still need regular rests though, I'm not turning into a machine.
In conclusion, I still have work to do before my productivity goes sky-high, but I'm definitely not a bird-feeder... well, not all the time. I am getting at least as much done as I would on an average day of BASE, and I believe there's more to come. Still, the intention for doing this is happiness, not worldly success. Good thing I seem to know what I have to do and I'm just relieved I have less and less crap holding me back.
I also intended to go over the wealth ceiling destruction thing, but I guess I'll leave it for tomorrow... this is getting a bit long already.
