US/LM 3 journey

[mat422]

Was wondering how USLM3 was effecting you. Sounds like some good stuff

As far as wasting time being afraid. Shannon mentioned once that it wasn't wasted time, it was a learning experience. It's all part of the journey. That helped me feel better and framed it in a positive light.

I understand. I just wished it was a shorter learning experience lol
I`ll try to update more often. Anyhow, glad to have you boarded on the US/LM3 train Matt

Well here I am on a Saturday night, working from home...even after I told myself that today I will take it easy since it`s the weekend and everything. Planned to watch the new Daredevil season.

But noooo, I had the urge to work. So I was like "ok, just 2 hours of work and then I`ll watch the show". That was at 5pm. It`s 10 pm now. And I actually want to keep working but if I work until 2-3am I`ll just mess up my sleep cycle and it`s not worth it .

US/LM life is hard.

Ya want that success or not?

Be careful what you wish for, right?

So...another 10-hour workday on a Sunday which is slowly becoming a standard.

I had flash of intuition this morning. I bought hosting and a domain. I was waiting for propagation process to be over which can take up to 2 days. About 24 hours in I just had a feeling like something was wrong. So I contacted the support. Apparently, I didn`t get their automatic email where I`m suppose to verify the new domain. If it it wasn`t for my intuition, this whole process could have been delayed for another 1-2 days. That was cool.

Also, I forgot to mention... Luck maximizer strikes once again! I was having coffee with my friend yesterday. She had a DSLR camera because she wanted to take a picture of the sunset while we were drinking coffee. Two guys were sitting next to us. One of them asked my friend if she could take a picture of them and email it to him. She took a couple of pictures. The guy was so thankful he paid our bill

I had a dream last night. A small girl being beaten by a group of men. I saw her getting beaten and then I jumped in and chased away the men. Everyone was impressed by my bravery. This dream kinds reminds me of another dream I had when I was on US/LM2 where I dreamt that I was watching a girl being raped. A guy or maybe multiple guys tearing her limbs apart one by one. And then he stuck his hand into her vagina and then literally pulled it our of her and threw it away. That one was the most disturbing dream I have ever had in my entire life.

On a lighter note, I got a free therapy session today It`s called hijama therapy (also known as cupping), a form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin. My friend knows a therapist who taught himself how to do this and wanted volunteers so my friend asked if I would do it. Supposedly hijama therapy relieves pain and eliminates toxins. I don`t know if it actually does, but I definitely felt extremely relaxed. I had massages before and felt super relaxed, like I could fall asleep. But today, even though my friend and the therapist were talking the whole time, I legit almost fell asleep right there on the table. Now I have bruises on my back

[Zane]

I remember you posting about that second dream you just mentioned.

Also, I have seen alot of Hijama videos. Its where those little cups sucks the toxic blood or whatever it is out of ur back. But leave temporary marks/ bruises. But yeah, u do feel relaxed and stuff.

Today is my first break day since on US/LM3. Woke up today and just had zero desire to get out of bed and get to work. I spent 1.5 hour in bed, just laying and browsing on my phone which hasn`t happened since I got on the first version of the sub.

Still I`m happy to report that I sucked it up and forced myself to work. This is really important. Because usually when I would start my day like that, the rest of the day would go to shi*t. It would just be a mental battle all day long. But this time, it was just a "small" battle to get myself to work in the morning and after that I was productive. And all that with a headache.

Also..really interesting but ever since I started US/LM3 I noticed I haven`t watched any TV shows and movies. I have an app that I use to track all the TV shows I watch and it shows that I`m literally one week behind on all TV shows which is exactly when I switched to US/LM3. This is huge since I`m a big movie/TV show buff. I guess watching TV show is some sort of an escapism in a way. I actually planned to watch the shows but every time I was suppose to do it, I would just find something else more constructive to do like watching videos on mindset/productivity. Or just hanging our with my friends since for me that is a constructive activity because I`m building emotional bonds.

That's interesting about TV. I'm a huge TV/movie buff myself, and while I've turned the TV off a few different times for some peace and quiet, I'm still all caught-up. I wonder if it's b/c TV would get in the way of your goals, whereas it doesn't much get in the way of mine...That might make the difference.

We all have different types of escape mechanism.

People really need to understand the difference between entertainment and escaping responsibility.

Interesting...it does make sense. Great insight RTBoss, thanks

@Zane Yes, very true. For me watching movies and TV shows is an escape mechanism. For some people, it`s maybe video games/porn etc.

My break is over, I am on my first day of second cycle. I mentioned in Matt`s journal how I experienced reduced productivity and increased negative thinking during my 2-day break.

I thought it would go back to "normal" when I start listening to the sub but it hasn`t. Today I was still functioning on like 60% productivity. I still got sh*t done but it was a serious effort and I was a lot more distracted the whole day. I`m afraid. The faster I finish what I have to do, the faster I will see results. Or the lack of results which is what I`m really scared of. Ughhh....hopefully tomorrow will be better.

My first day back, I am so freaking tired that I find I can't work. I was tired on my break, but holy cow. I slept for 10 hours too. Something is definitely going on under the hood.

But this is just a cycle of use it, build it up, take a break. When you take a break, you will see how much it has changed your deep core by what happens during that break. At first it will seem like you've lost ground, and then it will build back up again. And then you'll take a break.

And with each cycle of build up and take a break, you'll see that the fear is less and less, and the success is more and more, until running the program or taking a break, you get exactly the same results.

One thing you should remember is that the only way to fail is to stop trying. If there's one thing I have learned in my life, it's that NOTHING matters for achieving success more than having a concrete goal and then going at it no matter what happens. You might not know this, but this is my 4th time trying to become a millionaire. At least four times previously, I have been within smelling distance of it, aaaallllmost able to touch it, grasp it... and then I had something outside of my control kill it, take it away, wreck it. The first time, it was cancer. The second time it was miscommunication. The third time, my girlfriend actually killed it because she was afraid that if I became wealthy, I'd leave her. Guess what made me leave her.

But each time, devastating as it is, I always get back to work. And each time, I learn something from the experience, and I come that much closer next time, because next time I know what mistakes not to make.

The only way to fail is to stop trying, because what most people think is failure is really just a lesson on what does not work, what not to do, and how to do it better next time!

Works just as well for women.

So take it as it comes and keep going. You're not done yet!

I wasn't aware that this is your 4th time trying to become a millionaire. Especially that part about your girlfriend sabotaging your efforts...I don't even know what to say about that. If someone did that to me....how do you even begin to trust people again...Anyway, thank your for that post Shannon, that was really helpful

In other news...the positive/negative thinking ratio is 50/50 today. Still volatile. I'm taking the day off from work. Going to a birthday party tonight. Met a friend for coffee earlier. We actually managed to sneak into the national park today without paying for the ticket. The guy who works at the entrance went home earlier today because it was windy. My friend was commenting how we were so lucky to be able to go in without paying. And I kept thinking to myself "and maybe this is Luck Maximizer at work"
