Month 2 - Cycle 1 - Day 3
2 days ago (start of this cycle), I first increased the volume by 1 more so was at 10/16 volume and I added a loop. I wanted to do each one at a different time to be more scientific, but I got a very strong feeling that I should just do both and not waste time. Yesterday I increased the volume to 11/16 on an urge as well. I actually had the urge to go to 12/16 as I played it at 11/16 and in my dreams, but I’m gonna wait since I want to increase volume by 1 at a time.
After the first change, my results were better but I felt the fearful parts of myself struggling REALLY hard. After I increased the volume by 1 yesterday… well I just woke up so it hasn’t been long, but already I’m feeling better. I get the feeling my results will be increasing due to these changes.
Also I got the feeling to lower my break days by 1 but I want to do all these other changes first just in case so I don’t accidentally overload myself (but the urge came from my subconscious so maybe I should just do it anyway).
I’ve been dealing with some really heavy stuff, so I’m sure that’s why auto config started kicking in to increase the intensity. I’m talking core issues like punishment from authority that I took as a child to mean I was bad and there was something wrong with me. Or religious teachings that I am like a white cloth, and if I did something bad, that was a sin, and it’s like spilling a stain on that white cloth. It doesn’t come out!
Or trauma around my sexuality. There’s the trauma that comes from my peers mocking anyone who expresses an interest in anyone. As well as society instilling the fear of being gay in me. There’s girls (especially ones older than me) that mocked me. Authority figures taught me sex is bad. There’s me as a child acting like a depraved lunatic to get attention because I felt abandoned (reread this and want to clarify. Don’t mean actually went full psycho lol. Think class clown).
Another problem is that I developed the habit of counter-phobia. So I would run in the direction of my fears instead of away as a reactive way of trying to soothe myself. It’s annoying because it makes dealing with my fears like balancing on a tightrope. I don’t want to run away, I don’t want to run toward them.
Anyways after making all the changes to my listening patterns, so far, after waking up, I feel better. Let’s hope it stays that way the rest of the day at least.
P.S On a positive note: yesterday I was able to relax deeply in parts of myself that haven’t relaxed in ages. I was able to enjoy making music on a level I haven’t had probably since I was a child. It was only a taste of results to come but it got me excited for more results!
