You down with O.S.C. (yeah, you know me)

[RTBoss]

I'm also on the OSC 6G train.  Very natural and powerful.  I get caught up thinking what's happening is just "me", but when I think about it, I'm doing positive things (and thinking in positive ways) that I haven't in years!

Pretty cool.

6G is AMAZING!!  I hope you start a journal and update your progress!!

Ok, ok, it's been too long! I definitely need to journal!  Here goes!


Having run 4G-6G, I've been through the gamut.  Differences in effectiveness, resistance, lasting change - all of it.

"Transparency" (as Shannon refers to it) has hit its peak, IMO.  Do you all remember the "Naturalizer"?  That's what transparency is.  Running this sub "experience" is totally natural.  I didn't feel a thing and still haven't.  I've been running it (exactly as instructed on the product page) since release.  If I "felt" anything, it has been after the 20 minutes finished.  I feel really sleepy.  I'm not sure if that's because I typically run it while lying in bed watching TV at bedtime, or if it's related to processing the instructions.

The results I've experienced (so far) have been directly related to my current nutrition and fitness goals.  I just turned 45, and I haven't been in good shape for years.  Too much pizza, beer, wings, burgers...junk.  Every year since 2020 I've said I was going to eat better, lose fat, and get in shape for summer/treat my body better, and it never happens.  I lose my motivation, determination, or will to succeed.

It appears my self-efficacy for being able to change in the ways I need to accomplish the goal was extremely poor. Since running OSC, my motivation and willpower has been sky-high.  I'm following a ketogenic diet (which I decided to do first off because of how it is naturally restricting, a thing I typically thrive on), and it's been a breeze to follow.  I'm actually having fun with it.  I've also been exercising daily, even without a gym membership.  I have a small gym in my home, but I've avoided it in the past with the excuse that I prefer working out in a gym where I can enjoy some eye candy, lol. I've also avoided cardio because I typically hate it, especially starting out (when I'm not fit).  Sucking wind, well, sucks.  But now I see the final goal perfectly achieved in my mind, and it feels great!  I've gone hiking (even in -2 degrees Fahrenheit) and setup a recumbant bike & elliptical in front of the basement television.  Instead of sitting on my ass watching TV, I do some cardio while watching instead.

I haven't noticed anything in other areas of my life, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening in other areas.  I'm trying to pay better attention.  I'm already pretty good, socially, so I can't comment about OSC there.  I'm an introvert by nature, but not because I fear social situations. I just prefer my solitude a majority of the time.

I'll do my best to check in with my experience(s) from time to time!  Hope you all are doing well.

Very inspirational, man!  I'm in a very similar situation and I need to get on that health train.  I was toying with running a weight loss subliminal or continuing to listen to an overcoming fear subliminal but it sounds like I can address most of my problems by running OSC, and at a much more powerful level.

Welcome back to journaling!

I myself am also taking my fitness and shape a little more seriously in the recent months - I purchased an EMS training suit and am using it for an hour 6 days per week, and it's working very well!

Let me know how it goes for you!

Nice!  I hadn't heard of full freakin' suits!  Damn, that looks harcore!

I think I've noticed another area OSC is really helping me out.  I've become really good at keeping a level head out "in the world" where I can typically go anywhere and do anything at perfect peace.  I've developed a meditation practice that has been invaluable in this regard.  However, there's one person (in particular) who is always able to push my buttons, get a rise out of me, and trigger the shit out of me: my wife!  Lol.  

Don't get me wrong, I love my wife, but our personalities are less than optimally compatible (and I'm being kind saying that).  Just ask @Shannon haha, he'll tell you!  I've been quite hard on myself about feeling vulnerable to her moods, the "digs" she takes at me, and her world view in general.  I've been most susceptible to her parenting style.  She's just like my dad - everything is geared toward rules-based/"success"-based behaviors, and she has very little compassion/empathy or tolerance for kids just "being kids".  She barks orders, loses her patience, and generally not pleasant to be around.  If everything is going her way (rarely), she's great.  To give her some grace, she works 60+ hour weeks with different hours on different days, is probably in massive sleep debt all of the time and doesn't do much for herself on the self-care side of things.  She'll get a massage here and there, but doesn't eat healthy, exercise, sleep on a regular schedule, spend enough time with close friends, have date nights without kids (obviously that applies to me, too).

So how is OSC helping?  Simply by allowing me to apply the mindset I use to easily navigate my daily life out "in the world" within my own home.  It's as if I didn't believe (or have the confidence) that I could.  When I disconnect my emotions from the situations and connections I have at home, stand my ground and place peace-of-mind as my foundation in any situation, I now find that I avoid "taking the bait" (from my wife and/or children) and this frequently leads to diffused tension within the entire household!  
Definitely a cool development.

You get used to this type of exertion after about a week of sessions, I'd say.  In the beginning it does feel kinda hardcore!

Also congrats on your OSC results. I've also noticed an improvement in my familial communication (although I live alone currently, I'm in touch with my immediate family almost daily).
