3 nights ago, I started ASC, playing the track for about 8 hours each night. I have had some weird dreams while it's been playing, and sometimes I wake up thinking it's 5am, but it's only midnight.
Other than that, I have felt very chilled out, almost to the point of laziness. I have also started nofap and have gone the same amount of time with that at around 4 days currently, so I don't know which practice is having the best effect. Perhaps the two combined are a winning combination for me. Repetitive thoughts and fears, such as what the neighbors think of me, basically vanished overnight after listening to ASC. I could not believe it to be honest because I was skeptical and only tried it as an experiment because the track was free. I can't even remember how I stumbled upon the website.
Today I have not felt as great because I am tired from working out hard all week. I'd hoped for high confidence today when I went to see my parents. When my parents have friends around, as they did today, I have a considerable amount of anxiety, probably related to feeling like I never lived up to their expectations and I can sense a vibe of embarrassment when I am presented to their friends. For some context; my parents are quite prudish and stuck up living in a wealthy area and so too are their friends. I hoped I would notice more confidence, but it wasn't there as much as I wished for. I did feel relaxed though, no rapid heart beat or anything like that, but I'd hoped to have verbally communicated a little better. But on reflection, I did a little better than I normally would have.
So... an interesting start to say the least. I am very intrigued and dare I say hopeful of this new endeavor. I don't care about picking up or anything of that nature, I already have a wife and tribe of kids. I am more looking to feel good about myself in life by gaining confidence. After these initial observations from listening to ASC, I decided to create an account and discuss what I experience on the forum. I'll update when I have something worth adding, until then, good luck to you all.
