Resistance make me doubt my progress, when it's obvious that I have progressed! Doubting sucks!
Now on with the weekly recap.
With this being the first full week of stage 5 for me, it's been rather good. My moodiness has subsided and I feel far less reactive to other people's BS. Stage 5 for me has positive effects on my sex drive (others may have different effects) so that's good.
I've also looked back and noticed things that I have done, even recently, that had a bit of neediness in them (which goes to show that I'm far from perfect, LOL!). On my day off Thursday, I mostly had a stay-in day... I did go out to the gym to work out but I preferred to stay in and get more things lined out in my head, not to mention get myself more exposure to stage 5, and also to get my computer back up and running (had to recover my 2nd hard drive). Did I miss going out? Not really.
"Caged animal-itus" seems to have subsided greatly this week. And I have more of a "I don't really care" attitude lately, but that stems from things that affect me like, "if it doesn't interest me, I don't care about it."
Roy wrote about stage 5 softening the rough edges brought on by the earlier stages of Alpha Male and I definitely agree.
I also feel more selfish and wanting to please myself more so than in the past. A healthy (very small) portion of narcissism is sneaking in as well.
