I don't update this journal as much as I used to and I'm not as active in this community as I used to be either. This is gonna sound sort of negative, but I'm still not beyond the whole comparing myself to other people thing. I've made some huge steps, but I've still got a long way to go. And reading others journals, well it should be inspiring, but sometimes it's overwhelming because I can see how huge of a gap there is. But I think it's pretty awesome what kind of results everyone has been getting.
Now to step into my more philosophical mode of thought. I've been thinking about beliefs and how they are really central to almost everything in life. I've been experimenting with changing my state of mind and practicing maintaining states. What I've learned is that yes, I can shift to a different state. To the point where I can temporarily see beyond my limiting beliefs. The problem is maintaining this state. I'm not going to say it's impossible, but it requires a lot of energy. And I think what happens is instead of that energy propelling me further, it's more like a tug of war between negative beliefs and trying to internalize that new state.
Which brings me to my next topic. Doubts about subliminals working. Despite using these throughout the years and making changes in my life, there still exists lingering doubt that it was all a fluke and they didn't really do anything. Now I don't know how much that affects the results from them. But I've noticed in general people who have 100% faith in something tend to achieve faster results. Not really sure how to bypass that doubt. Lately I've been sort of doing method acting. Like putting myself into the mental state of someone who has the subliminals easily impact them. It's been helping a bit.
