Well, I don't see too much crossover. There's no hypnosis or subliminals. There is a guided meditation but they don't give you instructions other than visuals. Everything that happens between you and the part is your choice.
It's intriguing, although I have this skepticism if I don't see some kind of dramatic result then my mind tries to discount it, but the idea seems very solid to me. It was interesting. Mine was about being more okay with my desire for them, and being a little more physical. My situation was when I'm on the bus. Although I'm not going to grope girls lol.
It started in the morning. Woman in front of me on the bus, seat frees up beside me but she didn't see. So I placed my hand on her arm. But the touch was different. You know how a lot of people touch in a timid way? It wasn't that. It felt like a very masculine touch. Then a little later this girl gets on and I look at her. She smiles at me, I definitely looked at her longer than I would normally partly because she had sunglasses on and I was trying to see her eyes lol.
Yesterday was a pretty stressful day at work because I lost about 4-5 hours due to having to fix a database. That was stressful because I was given three weeks to collate and massage a heap of data to identify the impact of age in the organisation. Unfortunately I'm on holidays for the last week which means I have two weeks. The guy I'm doing the project for sat down and looked over what I've done and was really impressed. He said we'll meet with the client later next week and see if they want more. The other problem is I'm waiting on data from another department.
Reached the elusive 3000 calories today! Pretty simple actually. Two meals of oats soaked in apple juice with a tablespoon of jam, some sandwiches, some tuna and mayo mixed together etc.
Today was an up and down day. I think there was definitely a shift from the IFS session.
Last night was one of the weirdest dreams I've had in a long time. It seemed pretty negative. I recall that someone was going to rob my stuff and I stood up to them. But then they came back with friends and said they were going to take my stuff. So I woke up pretty bummed, I think it felt like I'd failed...
Question, does AM include fun stuff? Like making you more witty, charming, charismatic, fun, etc? I'm finding I can have good conversations but I feel like I'm lacking in the above department. One of the things that woman like is a man who can make them laugh. I can make women laugh sometimes but I find I come across as the more serious, maybe alpha guy. Or should I incorporate another sub with AM for that purpose?
It's like I'm this serious, alpha guy but I still don't think I fully own my desire. So I tend to lose women easily to the guys who know how to flirt, banter, joke, etc. I tend to not be very good at banter.
So I went to a festival today. Found the group. I noticed whenever a new person joined us I would introduce myself then suddenly everyone would introduce themselves, following my lead essentially. There was this one girl, I kind of liked her. Chatted to her for a bit, definitely a little more touchy-feely which is what the IFS session was about. A small group of us split off from the main group. Another cute girl who I've seen around but not really spoken to. We chatted for a while.
I was definitely getting some internal resistance. Small things like when we headed for the grass I went to sit next to the really cute girl and she said we should spread out. I took it as though it was personal and sat in front of them on the grass but a bit further away. I know it wasn't personal but that was my interpretation. And at the end the other girl 'seemed' a little distant toward me but when I said something she'd lean forward giving me her full attention.
It was really strange too. When both girls were together they seemed to dictate where we were going. But when it was just one of them they tended to look to the guys for guidance. Although they did ask us the whole group what everyone wanted to do.
I can say that I'm noticing some of my nice guy habits shifting. One of the girls, the cute one (seriously, she's one of the best looking girls I've met in a really long time) was complaining about how when she eats food it all goes to her hips. Normally ultra nice guy mode I would say something like 'you're not fat'. Now even though she literally isn't fat it's still a pretty shit response. Instead I responded 'and it's the one area where most exercise doesn't touch' haha.
What i really want to do is be a fly on the wall for the average conversation of a guy who women fawn over haha.
Anyway, I added one of the girls on facebook and came across the other one later as we have mutual friends. I'm a bit stuck. I really want to ask out hte really cute one but I feel that the other girl is probably better relationship suitability. Although to be fair the only thing I'm basing that on is that she's one of those girls who can be in a converation and get distracted and cut the conversation. She's not a big drinker or partyer, has a career/study path that she's passionate about. haha if I'm being honest the only true reason is that I think she's too attractive for me and that I have a better chance with the other girl.
Oh and when I got home I instantly started thinking about a girl I dated a while back who screwed me around. I was raging in my head even though I haven't thought about this girl in ages. Still in a funk!
I'm thinking that when I start Stage 3 of AM, I'm going to reduce it by 2-3 hours a day and incorporate one of the manifest a lover type ones (actually might choose girlfriend option). Not sure if that would interfere with AM? I'd be aiming for at least 13 hours with AM and 3-5 hours with the lover/girlfriend one. Sounds like a few people are getting good results. Unless you guys think there's a different one that will help with the issues I am facing around being playful.
Something fascinating happened last night. I want to seriously get back into my NLP techniques so I fished out a document chock full of them from a book I found ages ago. This book was a lot less formal and scientific than most NLP books. I did a few of the simple ones around putting a particular quality like charismatic into points along the future time line and taking an image of a negative and then getting the image of the successful me and putting them back to back then spinning them really fast. And my personal favourite where you get the image of what you want to accomplish then put a small black pinhole in the middle and let a positive image zoom in and out several times. You set the image up for example it could be finding $100 bill. When I do that I feel really pumped up.
Anyway, after doing just a few of those I went to sleep. Had the coolest dream. I think a woman was accusing me of something (I was on the footpath). I pulled her to the ground but I feel like it was a metaphor for me leading her. We're sitting on the grass beside the footpath and she's giving me this look, kind of submissive and turned on. I'm touching her, stroking her arms, etc and she was just really attracted to me. Pretty sure we kissed and then I woke up. Better dream than the one the other night. One thing I did slightly different was I boosted the volume of the sub just a fraction before I went to sleep.
Today was cool. I had a meeting at work and I was pretty much in a position of running it. I've been working on a major reporting piece of work and we met with the client today for me to present what we had so far. My superior and my manager were there as well. All in all, it was very good. I handled most of the questions quite well and everyone was really pleased with how much work I'd done on it. Also, I was supposed to schedule the meeting for two days time but my Manager had time off so I had to pull it all together in just 4 hours. I had most of the data done but just scraped it together with 15 minutes to spare.
I'm becoming really intrigued by nlp again. I've studied it as part of a personal growth seminar. I have this doubt though that NLP is permanent, which I think is what has kept me away from it. But, in three days time I will be attending the third and final installment of the seminar so I have some experts to ask this question to. One of them is to take three fearful situations in my mind and push them away from me (dissociating) then draw a frame around them. I add to it by shrinking them with my fingers then flicking them away.
So no cool dreams again, although I think there was a dream but can't remember it. My cold got worse but I think that's a good sign as the chemist gave me this herbal product and told me to double the dose. Plus got a ginseng energy supplement as I need to focus for this seminar. 7 days of roughly 9am-1am! It's good timing as I recently got back into NLP so I can ask a few questions.
I'm going to take the opportunity while I'm away at this seminar to get some reading on my phone done. Plus I have a notebook so I want to try and get a few internal journey type things done. While also attemping to get as many hours (not many) of subs in. I'm estimating that I'll literally get 2am to 8am so 6 hours a day.
How is the IFS online tool going man? I'm considering subscribing to it but every time i've done FasterEFT or PSTEC it has affected AM6 negatively. I'm thinking IFS may be a little different as it's more communicating and integrating things instead of letting go of energy and emotions around it.
Do you feel it has taken away from the effectiveness of AM6 of numbed it? Though since it's your first run you may not really know, I just knew because i've been listening to subliminals for years.
Hey guys, back on board now. Only got about six hours listened to in total but my average daily hours are still around 12 so happy with that.
I'm actually not that sure about subliminals now, although I'm still going to continue with them. Just do it and see what happens. I'm doing a lot of afformations which are essentially empowering questions such as 'Why am I so good at talking to women' and then the subconscious goes off to find the answer.
Ben, I haven't done the IFS stuff for a while. Haven't noticed any negative impacts from when I did it, although I'm not sure how you're comparing the results.
