New to the forums, and not sure if I have the full lay of the land yet, but since I purchased LTU 3.1 yesterday and wanted to put it to use right away, figured I'd start a journal.
I have many little issues, across various topics, some I mentioned in my introduction to the forums post. I solicited and got good advice but then I happened upon a couple LTU journals and that got me excited as this sub seems to cover a broad range of issues.
I listened to the sub for about 3 hours yesterday as I worked, and then I played it for 8 hours while my wife and I slept. She's on board with me playing this one for us, though she doesn't completely understand all the things it does...nor do I yet.
I don't think I slept very well, even now as I type this, I've been groggy all day. My wife has been in a spectacular mood for most of the day, which is unusual as we're both usually grumping and bickering with each other.
What got me recently is my daughter said to my wife, right in front of me, "Daddy never smiles." And she's right, I don't.
I'm 40 years old and I've gotten crankier every year as I've let life pass me by. I am dearly hoping this sub will help me smile and enjoy life more. I don't want that to be how my daughter remembers her father. There are other goals, too, that I hope to achieve on this Sub. Will detail down the line. Hoping to do this sub for 100 days, and then decide whether to keep going.
Anyway, I don't know if this is technically Day 1 or Day 2, since I started yesterday and listened into this morning, but I will say that I felt more calm at work today. I had a project go into production this past weekend that was two years in the making. It was not without problems which can be stressful, but I handled the stress very well today as we reviewed problem reports.
I also had to meet with the US Head of Such-and-Such to give her a detailed account of the work we've done over the past two years. This person can be very difficult and often uses her power to make others miserable. I had myself pretty psyched-out about this meeting till today. I felt pretty calm today. Kept telling myself to not get attached emotionally to the outcome of this meeting. Turns out she sent two delegates to the meeting without informing me prior, and I impressed the two delegates with my presentation. So all good there. I don't think I would normally be as calm and I am thinking perhaps the Sub had something to do with that.
Noticed that people were more open and friendlier at work today. Even got a smile from the woman who works at the gym and she was chatty with me. Not looking to hook up with anyone, not one of my goals, but it was still unusual and nice.
I guess we'll call this Day 1.
