Energy levels have been been great the last week or so, way better than where my energy levels were at during stage 2. Another thing I'm noticing during this stage is that my thinking has been a lot clearer. Haven't really been able to go out lately since I work long hours during the week, but I'll be going out this weekend to see how things have progressed towards other people.
Good things are definitely happening for me. Ive been looking for a new job the last month or so, and ive been getting a lot of responses. I think I've had 3 or 4 phone interviews and I have a face to face interview tomorrow. Not that I attribute this to AM or anything, but its something that has me feeling really good moving forward. I'm really hoping something comes from one of these interviews.
I'm also over seven days since the last time I have really felt like watching porn or masturbating. Those urges have gone down substantially over the last week. With how little I think about it or feel like looking at it, I feel like I could easily keep this going.
Employers could be recognizing your value and leadership which are qualities of having an Alpha personality. All the best on your job search!
I'll be looking at your results for an example of what to expect from a full usage of AM6. Noticing the small things like porn and masturbating is a good way to measure your improvements. Everything counts. Good to see Bayern win in the CL as well

Thanks

Hi Bayern
I just wanted to mention that I'm also reading and enjoying your journal - I may do AM6 myself as well.
Best of luck with your job hunt!
Thanks for the support Fonzy and Alta, I appreciate it.
Funny thing since I posted a few days ago about getting a few call backs on my job search is that I've had even more feedback since then. Since my last post, I had my face to face interview (even though it was with a staffing agency), and have set up another phone interview. And just this afternoon the staffing agency has asked me about a position to see if I'm interested in interviewing for. Things are definitely going pretty well there.
Definitely feeling some good effects of no porn material over the last 2 weeks. My thinking has been much clearer, I've been more articulate, and I've been more outgoing over the last few days and have been able to maintain eye contact with everyone that I've come across which has always been an issue for me.
On a side note regarding one of my phone interviews that I had. It was by far the longest one that I have done (around 40 minutes), and I wasn't nervous at all during it. Usually I get insanely nervous on the phone to the point where I can't think straight and stutter a bit. This didn't happen this time, my confidence was way up and my thoughts came out very clear.
That's great progress. It's amazing what a little confidence can do
Been over a week or so since I last posted. Not too much has been changing for me. I have another interview tomororw that I think I have a good chance at getting the position, so hoping things go well with that. Other than that, been stressing out about finances over the last few days. If I get this new job I'd have to move back home for a couple months to save some money and pay off credit cards. Still stressing on how long it's going to take to pay back my credit cards after an incident that happened a couple months back.
Finished stage 3 last night. Not the greatest stage for me, but definitely not the worst. Had a lot of good things start to happen for me, but so far nothing has come out of it.
Starting stage 4 tonight so hopefully good things continue to come my way, but with better results. Also hoping my decision making gets better this stage and stages after lol.
Well done getting through stage 3 man. It's a tough one, I'm sure the dots will connect at the end though!
Finished stage 4 last night, and will be starting stage 5 tonight.
Things that happened, or didn't happen, for me during stage 4.
- Went to a few more interviews but was unable to land any of the jobs that I interviewed for. Although after I interviewed I realized a couple of them weren't what I really wanted, and one would've been a pay cut which I would not have been happy with. Good thing is I have one more this upcoming Friday doing pretty much the same thing that I'm doing now, just in a different location.
- The last month of so I have been hanging out with a different group of friends than what I usually hang out with. Normally I would only hang out with a 2 or 3 of the same people every weekend. Now, I'm hanging out with about 10 people that I've known but never really hung out with.
- My battle with porn addiction is still going. Thinking that is going to be the next sub that I run for sure after I am done with this, and hopefully that helps me get over it once and for all. Had a couple of streaks of around 3 weeks without it, but I always find myself going back to it around the 3 week mark. I'm wondering if this is having some impact on the results I'm seeing from tis sub cause my memory/motivation/energy levels all fluctuate with how long I go without it.
In addition, I think another sub that I may use next would be the balance your brain hemispheres. I used that one last fall for about a month to test it out, and for $9 why not see what it can do. I actually felt like I got some good results from it over that month, so I may do that one instead, and wouldn't mind seeing that one get an upgrade to 4g sometime.
I'll try to update more throughout stages 5 and 6 as I notice things happening to me and around me.
Well, haven't been on in a few months, and figured I might as well give my thoughts. I feel like there have definitely been a few things that were changed during this program (I got over a few OCD's that I had, had bouts of confidence which wavered due to porn addiction battle), and a lot of things that went unchanged unfortunately. I feel like I didn't get as much out of this program due to one major thing that I might have figured out, but that's something I will look into.
I feel like moving forward Life Tune Up might be my next best option as it deals with more of the emotional side, and that is where I should focus since I am more of a glass half-empty person still and I still have internal thoughts before I express myself to others.
Anyway, good luck to everyone in the future that has a lot of success with this program or any other program they are running.
You're the second person that isn't satisfied with AM 6.0. What happen?
I mean, have you introspect yourself about the changes from the start?
I think it all depends on where you start from. If you are pretty much alpha in your ways and thoughts then you may not notice much. But if you are a shy old dogsbody then it should hit harder and be more noticeable. Shannon says the program only empowers you to do things never forcing you. I will be starting AM6 next week and although i will have done ASC for 32 days by then i don't feel that much different now although not as needy as i used to be, but again very small to notice.
