UMS, The Sub Formerly Known as UMS

Very well said. Do you remember those traumatic events or your reaction to them slightly differently now? I’ve noticed that effect since I got on something with FRM. Wondered if I was the only one.

For the most part the traumatic experiences I CAN remember have little to no emotional reaction anymore that's progress. 

The big picture is coming together slowly. I'm starting to see the road map for the short term future and its getting exciting. I started listening to a podcast about investing that I "randomly" picked and it turns out that this podcast was quite possibly the intro into the informatio. That I was looking for bit didn't quite consciously know I needed. When I listen to some of the podcasts I know on a deep level that this is the info I'm searching for. How wild. We'll see where this goes

I know right! I sat there for a bit and had to take it all in. That video is pushing me to manage my own finances for retirement.

This sub is the first one that I notice a difference in the effectiveness of certain modules in hybrid over ultrasonic, and I don't use masked ever. On hybrid, I can feel the aura coming off of me and my mind is much sharper and more energetic than on ultrasonic. I'm 100% positive it's all across the board but I noticed those two things right at the end of the loop. I have been using ultrasonic for the last 10 days or so but I think I'll make the switch to hybrid and see for a bit. Or, do a one and then the other for a little bit to see what happens.

Bought a new computer this weekend and paid $3100 for it. My old (nonedible potato of a)laptop is 6 years old now. RTX 2080 Ti and a threadripper 2950 12 core processor. Feel good about the purchase and trying to "budget" my way out of buying a new computer to save money didn't seem to work. Every time I would think about not buying it to save money it was like the sub was gently erasing the reasons why I didn't want to buy it. I also took out a loan through Affirm and set the payment plan to 2 years. I did this because I think that in the span of 2 years I could make more money with a lump sum of 3100 through investment opportunities and decided to spread out the payments to get me to $151 a month. Pretty decent. Affirm's interest is terrible at 25% for me but there is no prepay penalty on the loan so I'll be saving a little here and there and pay it off earlier to mitigate the ugly interest rate. When I think back at how the wheels were turning there was no fear and there was a balance of meeting current needs for a new computer that could function well and play computer games as it is a hobby of mine as well as enabling myself to get a computer that is out of my price range by taking a loan and paying it off early to cut interest, win-win-win. Currently playing space engineers with a friend and I'm having a BLAST playing it. Can't wait until the new computer shows up so I can play it on max settings instead of minimum "potato" settings.

Also reading the book Dhando investor. It's another piece of my puzzle for money I can feel that when I read it. The stories and principles in that book get me so excited!!!

So I've been holding off on saying it but I think that UMS is the first sub for me that has enabled me to "get over the hill". Meaning that it has enabled me to get through the most difficult obstacle to executing, me. Now that I'm slowly but surely getting past myself, I'm feeling the momentum building. Even LTU was like trying to walk through waist high mud at some point. Now UMS is getting me through that point. Its still a struggle but it's working. The "plateau" I always reached with subs has increased or doesn't exist anymore, but sure which one.

Focus on investing is high. Friends circle is starting to shift, legitimate opportunities and the info required to execute are showing up. Beliefs are changing and it's not hell being off the sub for more than 2 days.

I am also experiencing periods of comfort eating and craving sugar or something to numb some sort of emotional turmoil. Lucky for me my job consumes large amount of calories But I don't grind to a halt during this period, I keep going. This is progress.

Feeling like I'm already abundantly wealthy

I was very close to burning myself out this weekend. It's been building up and luckily I caught it in time. I've been listening to podcasts while working, then coming home to read and listen to more information for investing. I've also been experimenting with how many loops is ideal for me and I realized that I am over listening. That's the closest I've been to burnout and it's not fun. So on Sunday I just stayed home and sat around like a potato. Been going to bed earlier as well.

Not a fun feeling, almost quit my job because I don't want to go to it.

Something ugly has surfaced, not sure I'd its gone or if it is being worked on under the surface again after rearing its ugly head.

I've always had this ability to shift the "atmosphere" in the room or wherever I am and I could tell people were feeling that ugliness coming off of me. Everything I feel I feel strongly and that has helped and harmed me in life. I have stuffed it but i am more comfortable experiencing feelings again because I don't get lost in them like I used to. Thank you IML for that.

Ate a bit for lunch and everything's seemed to settle down. Willing to go through this ugliness to better myself. It really feels like a unhealthy desire for money that stems from lack of it. I see it in my dad and I feel it in me. Not sure about anymore than that. I'm probably going to write down some of my feelings about this as they unfold because it seems important to do so. Also, this is something preventing me from the goals of UMS.

Also as a side note, it's kind if odd to be detached enough to feel my own emotions are offputting.

[Chris P. Bacon]

So it seems that everything settling down a bit now and life is getting back to normal. Drive is now high and whatever ugliness was happening has settled or disappeared or something like that. Burnout symptoms have calmed down a lot and energy levels are in the 80% area if I had to put a number on it. I don't know if pushing myself so hard was a good or bad thing honestly. Sure I got really close to quitting my job but at the same time, I really pushed myself into a place that required my stuff to come forth and be dealt with............maybe. Maybe that razor's edge place of being close to total exhaustion but hitting it is a place of growth for me, or maybe I just got lucky. Not sure I'd do it again and I don't recommend it.

I possibly feel the aura coming off of me and I haven't listened to the sub since Sunday (it might also be niacin that I took as well, they feel somewhat the same to me). One thing to note is that I generally feel TID execution is better for me than when I actually run the sub, and I find that odd and a little confusing. However, starting at around 3:45 pm I felt like I was experiencing TID when it was likely execution after overcoming whatever was going on earlier today. Not sure if that will continue but I know something in my beliefs has changed and something about that is releasing a different vibe off of me.

Going to be early.

Ate you confusing TID with bloom? TID can only happen before you start using the sub. Bloom is the reverse of TID, and happens after you use the sub and stop. The new level of technology is designed primarily for execution during bloom.

The TID I had before I ran this sub and that small period of a few hours before my 2nd loop after 7 days of running it was smoother than most of my current experience on UMS. It has been that way since USLM which was the first sub I experience TID with. 

So I quite literally mean TID felt smoother than actually being on the sub, I don't think I worded it well. TID for UMS was weeks out with a building up until the day prior to running the first loop was super exciting.
