Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

Went through the first night of LTU.

Didn't sleep that well and I have a slight headache. However, I was out (no drinking) and got to bed 5 hours later than usual, so that might be the reason.

What's more important is that I feel really really good. I am starting LTU from a very good place, but I feel extra relaxed and happy today this far. I have a kind of childish bubbly feeling, which is a bit difficult to describe but very cool. Just did some work and my mind seems super sharp.

I know that this is only the first day, but so far so very good.

Will you be starting a LTU journal Hanpan? I'd love to follow your progress on it

Thank you - I might start a journal

I have some reservations about starting a journal:

1) Just started a new job which takes up a shitload of time and energy. However, I would be interesting to see how LTU (hopefully) helps me in a demanding job.

2) As far as I understand, the admins really don't think that the journals are reliable if you do anything else that might alter your state of mind. I have an awesome meditation practice that I've been building over many years and that I will continue. Personally, I believe that something like that will fit beautifully with many of the goals of LTU, but I don't know. Furthermore, I really prioritize my diet, exercise habits and sleep to optimize my brain function and chemistry, so it might be difficult to tell which results come from LTU or from having a good overall lifestyle/making poor lifestyle decisions.

I think I'll make some posts here, and see what times allow me to do and if it brings any value to people.

HanPan, what I don't find value in is when people use DMSI specifically (which is free upgrades until I get it right in exchange for feedback) and then do things that will destroy my ability to tell whether or not a particular change came from DMSI or some other thing (some other form of mind programming or "therapy". Altering your state of mind isn't an issue. You would be giving me valid feedback.
