Stage 1. Day 7.
First time around I noticed some general positive feelings. Mostly being more encouraging towards myself and not caring what others are thinking of me. I was definitely more tired the first few days of listening to it.
Now that I've started Stage 1 over, the tiredness isn't really there. I still have an overall much better feeling about myself. I am always talking myself down, never giving myself positive thoughts to work with. But I can feel that changing.
A few things I've noticed:
As I said, I am a very non-confrontational guy, but lately I almost feel that I want to get in a fight. I was working out at the gym when I laid my towel on a bench and then ran off to grab some dumbbells. As I turned around, I saw some middle-aged guy (who was pretty ripped), talking to someone else nearby and complaining about the fact that there was a towel on the bench when he wanted to use it. I immediately wanted to run up to him and say, "You got a problem with me putting my towel here?". He walked away before I even got close, but I've never had that feeling before of being challenged for a workout spot and wanting to to get in someone's face. It felt pretty good.
For some reason I have had this urge to go skydiving recently, and to then learn how to do basejumping. I'm pretty scared of heights and it is for this reason that I am craving the desire to get up on top of a tall building and to freefall with nothing but a parachute. I'm pretty sure I'd shit my pants standing on the ledge, but I really want to challenge myself to do it. But the first step is to tandem skydive for the first time and I've been talking with my brother about heading to one of those skydiving places.
There are a few other things that have been happening, but more subtle than these. As I think of them I will keep posting. Cheers.
