@Essy: No matter, I was just in too much of a hurry to answer yesterday. Don't think I've felt the need to cry all the time or anything, it was just that one time right when I started. I had a lot of anger and stress that had been piling on while I was doing ASC, and then I was reading about not having to be perfect and not being so hard on myself, so things just clicked right and I got to relax. That's all it is to me: its my body and mind quickly letting go of a lot of stuff and relaxing. Sort of like shaking off tension (notice there's actually a shaking motion, too). But since then, I've just pretty much felt happy.
@Sarge: Yeah, I don't know how I'll get over that one... just might need EPRHA 2.0, lol
Ha, I got a 2nd quote on the testimonials section, looks like things are going up! :D I credit ASC mostly, for making me feel more inspired.
I have some questions, but I'll create separate threads on the FAQ section.
Day 4
Things went noticeably smooth yesterday when She came over. She's going through a lot of stress currently, so it started out as her being pretty unreachable, but I was just feeling so damn good I was 100% sure I'd eventually lead her out of that. Usually when its like that I'll just kind of casually keep talking about stuff, monitor where she's at and kind of baby step making her relaxed and opening up and all that. Often I'll feel a little uneasy, so my talk might feel a little forced. But this time it was not. Felt better about myself, voice stayed naturally deep, being more naturally open & smiling, lots of stuff to talk about.
During the day, I am getting good smiles from women I encounter. But its not the ASC-type dominant look that'd make them smile in response to that, its more like recognition of the other person, or a welcoming feeling.. sort of like, say your gf/wife had been travelling and then you saw each other on the airport, and smiled to each other warmly. Atm I'm getting concerns on "manliness" and that sort of bs come up about, but give it time and I'll adjust. Had a dance partner turn quite sexual on me with this.
ASC worked on my eye contact, and now its getting easier again because its less like a fight and more like a "happy to see you". Eye contact with men, especially, is easier because its less challenging, but then again I'm still transitioning and careful that I won't be interpreted as gay or anything.
Feeling less stressed out about work.
I'm still listening quite much atm, but am in the process of bringing it down somewhat. Getting some hours in before the weekend. OGSF doesn't seem like its as tiring as my previous subs, but still I have noticed that the happiness/love cloud starts to form more a little after I stop listening. Does this imply that the mind only starts acting on the instructions more during the pauses in listening? Not sure. I noticed this on ASC also, where the happiest, confident state would only be available some after having stopped listening. Will create a poll about this on the FAQ section.
