Strumming my Brain with MLS 3.0 Journal

[Ampersnd]

Day 26,

I've been doing some very simple organizational things with Excel and Outlook Calendar.
Once I've gotten the pieces of my goals onto one slab, it left me thinking 'hmm... that's it? Seems easy enough.'

Sure, there are old projects that will re-emerge after I get these main bits out of the way.
Once everything is in front of me, I can choose what I will do tomorrow after work.

I predict that this will considerably speed up my productivity.
I think that I need to overcome the belief that I need BASE to succeed in any entrepreneurial light.
Also made a possible breakthrough in a singing lesson; will need to practice to figure out whether it is in fact a breakthrough.

I'm coming up on a month pretty soon; although I've had hints and glimmers, I've had no 'slap-in-the-face' moments that indicate that 5.5 G MLS has done some real work behind the scenes.
I still stutter from time to time. But, I'm rarely stumped for information. I fast asleep faster and sooner. I also do mental calculations faster.
I need to remember that I had severe brain fog before changing jobs, but it had to do with the stress and stagnation related to the old job; this job is faster paced.

But, I'm enjoying this run, and have not felt pressured to change subs on a whim. I'll keep this going until November (3 months) at the very least.

Day 27,

I think I'm getting some hints that MLS 5.5 is doing behind the scenes work.
I've had the goal of putting into place the concepts from Four Hour Body (to slim down fat, and then, to put on muscle). I casually read the 'rules' for the slow carb diet, and one of those were 'no fruit' on the regular days (you can have it on cheat days). I told myself "well, I've got apples and bananas in the house, so I'll eat those." The bananas went bad, and I threw them out. I bought more bananas, and now they've gone bad. I'll just stop buying them at this point. The point is that I'm putting into practice concepts that will ensure success in a field.

The feeling that I've gotten from this subliminal is as though I'm being guided instead of having to figure it out on my own. (Without violating the rules of this forum) It would be a feeling similar to someone who feels guided by their creator.

I picked up the guitar again, spent two hours on it without trying, and have been picking up my speed and accuracy. It's not perfect, but I'm getting much closer to how I'd like it. I'd been given the idea of joining a band in order to socialize in my city. That's not a bad idea. There's a djent band in town that's looking for a second guitarist.

I also set up Udemy so that the people who join my free course can get steep discounts for my other Udemy courses. It's only been 2-3 days since it's been accepted, and when I opened my page, I found that I got 666 students. Rock and roll.

Did you recently change your username?

Did you recently change your username?

Yes I did.

[RTBoss]

Wow, you're a lot younger than I was expecting from the way you write. Going to check out your guitar series. Btw, you're up to 683...684 when I enroll!

[Ampersnd]

Thanks for the enrollment! Let me know if you're able to see my discount offers easily enough; I want it to be present and accessible, but not in people's faces.

Out of curiosity, how old did you think I was?

You're welcome! I can tell your course will challenge me. I really like how cerebral you are, explaining on the first lesson about myelination. :idea: I'll be working that note block exercise for awhile, haha.

I see the discount offer under the Course Content tab. Perhaps make a post under the Announcement tab, as well, to highlight your offer - I really don't think it'll be obnoxious. Under the Course Content tab, some people who would be interested might accidentally gloss over the link to the PDF.

I thought you were easily in your late 30's or early-to-mid 40's! You carry yourself in a very mature manner.

Awesome; glad it's a challenge. Yes, Udemy let's you send out two promotional messages per course per month, so I can take advantage of that.

On the topic of age; what can I say, but to say that I'm flattered. I've written a book, and so I think that my verbal tone has shifted ever since. I'm 25.

Day 28,

I went to a new gym today. They offered 7 days for free. Further, for the month of September, they offer 2 free weeks when you join. It's also very close to my apartment.

I stepped on a scale in the locker room before exercising; I went from 194 lbs on August 5 -10th-ish to 179 lbs on September 8th. That makes 15 lbs in a month. This was all done through diet, with very little exercise. It's worth mentioning that I wasn't overweight before starting; but, I was eating a lot of pasta and carbs before moving to my own place. Now, it's meats, legumes, green vegetables, and cheese; not many simple carbs. Then, one day a week, it's a cheat day, where anything goes.

In any case, some of that weight loss was from muscle, since I gassed very quickly and almost passed out from this new workout routine. I was lifting much less. I bailed early, and it was the right call. Maybe eating a can of whipped cream wasn't the best idea before exercising.

Day 29,

(Read between the lines on this one) My views on supernatural matters have changed in these past few days. They're not more optimistic; instead, they're much harsher. I'm intuiting all sorts of talking points about the illogicality of the situation. I'm almost being led to write a book on the subject; I might be another Hitchens!

[Ampersnd]

Damn it. I went out to a social event on a boat. They all know each other, but I knew a couple of people (the ones who invited me). There was one girl who interested me, and kept staring at me. I chatted with her briefly.

Then, we went to a restaurant / bar; the bar was full of good looking women, but I had zero interest in chatting with them. I wasn't scared; I just had no motivation. In the past, my mind singled on a woman and gave me motivation to approach. Not now.

Earlier today, I had an energy work session with the gentleman behind 'Masculine Intent'. The energy work did move some stuff around, but he interrupted it because he hear knocking from my end. I realized that he was talking about renovations next door. We're picking it up next week. We might have addressed some of my fears, but not my sexual interest.

I'm keen to hear the results from the energy work session after doing it properly and after a bit of time as i've been thinking of giving it a go myself.

Day 30,

Still having so many of these creative ideas related to Day 29's topic (again, read between the lines). It's almost as though my next book will be on this topic, instead of Book 2 of New Rhetoric.

Later on in the day, I'm feeling myself riled up with anger. Almost as though I'm raring for a fight. I've been concerned about getting into a fight, and having the other guy grab my hair, as it's been growing longer. I've been fantasizing about pulling a flying armbar on the guy and snapping him arm at the elbow. This makes me want to take up BJJ and Muay Thai again.

[Ampersnd]

Ok... I'm becoming smarter.
I'm able to formulate answers for rhetorical talking points which would have stumped me in the past, and I can do it very quickly. Every answer I can think about has a bite of wit behind it.

In other words, I have a 'very good brain' with the 'best thoughts'... believe me, folks.
