Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Hi @Shannon. I'm on day 6 of the first OF cycle. I'm using the hybrid tracks to play my loops while I sleep. Surprisingly, my energy levels are not all that different than before I started this program. I have increased the number of loops to match the number of hours I sleep at night (8-9 hours) so I don't have to wake up specifically to turn the program off before my normal wake time. (I have the tracks on a constant loop). 

On a couple of occasions I woke up with feelings of satisfaction that you get after doing something productive.

I have been more emotionally sensitive lately and little (and big) things not going right for me are quick to trigger feelings of anger and sadness inside of me. I even cried on couple of occasions because of this. But I typically bounce back the next day. This is not something new to me, but it has been happening more frequently over the last couple of weeks.

At the same time as @KingDavid93 has mentioned I've been wanting to run even more loops to "keep the pressure up" as you mentioned. There's also the option to reduce my days off. I was wondering if it is okay for me to do this as long as I am not getting deeply exhausted by this.

Well I mean, you've already thrown the instructions out the window, why stop now?  lol

Also, the 8 month run value has been calculated with the ultrasonic track in mind. Can running the hybrid track affect this value keeping in mind that the hybrid track essentially doubles the amount of input? Or is the pace at which the subconscious does work not affected by the type of track that's used?

Thanks!

The 8 month value was calculated for the program, not a specific format.

I guess what I wanted to ask was if someone shows little resistance to the program, does it make sense for them to have a more aggressive listening pattern? Would that further improve execution/results? I realize that this may actually cause resistance in people, but at least one would know their current limit and could adjust their listening pattern to whatever works best for them.

It's going to depend on the person.  For some it will help, and for some it will just make things worse.  

What I was trying to figure out by posting the second question is how can the two formats that have drastic differences in the level of power bring you to the goal in the same amount of time?

The instructions are calculated with the general usage patterns of the entire customer base taken into account.  They are what works best for the majority of users.  Then we have AutoConfig trying to adjust the usage patterns to what works best for you individually.  Trying to calculate the usage patterns for if you use Masked vs Ultrasonic, vs Hybrid, makes no sense if you have people constantly using different formats - which is the case.
