Just switched back to 3.1A yesterday. DAMMMNNNN!
One difference between A and B jumped out at me. On B I wasn't worried about anything, my enjoyment for small little things increased, like eating food, watching movies, shopping etc. I was like a kid again, it felt like it's fine to go through life just chilling and enjoying these small pleasures.
On A though, all these are gone. I am back to not enjoying myself and wondering what's the meaning of it all. The inner dialogue that was silenced on B is back too. This morning I found myself waking up tearing lightly, though I don't remember any dreams. Reactions from women are gone too. The pole dancer who was keen to show me some pole dance flaked on me today. On B I wouldn't give a shit and see the positive side, but now on A it affected me. I ended up going to tinder and messaging a bunch of girls, also an old FWB I haven't seen for more than a year.
I have two weeks left of DMSI before I take a one-week break in preparation for MLS. I'm not sure to stick with A for these two weeks or switch to B next week. Hmm...
Did you want to heal and clear, or not?

I know I still have issues to heal, but I am also considering that since I only have around 2 weeks left of DMSI, if I have residual effects from DMSI during my MLS run, do I want residual effects from A or B? For now I'd lean towards B, but I'll see how I feel again at the end of this week. Today I did a similar thing you did last week when you forced yourself to get out of the house. I sat with myself, stopped the escapist behaviors and forced myself to do my work. I felt better at the end of the day. I have almost nothing planned until Friday, so I will be doing mostly that. Thanks for posting your experience!
First run of DMSI Wrap Up
42 days of DMSI 3.1A
30 days of DMSI 3.1B
7 days of DMSI 3.1A
So in the end I decided to move the plan up by one week and just stop DMSI. My last day was Sunday. I will take this week off subs and start MLS next week.
I recognize that I still have lots of issues to heal. By the end of last week I was deep in the middle of a healing cycle. I felt very anti social and non-motivated. I didn't see any meaning in anything I wanted to do and kept procrastinating. I noticed my mind was wandering to cheap thrills such as food and online shopping so that I don't have to face being with myself. Wasn't interested in girls at all. I met my FWB but I didn't really enjoy it. When I made mistakes, such as misjudging the time and arriving late, I got down on myself really bad and my mood was affected the whole day.
I know that running DMSI A would be very beneficial for me, but I have to stop it for now. The brain fog and fatigue are hindering my business activities. The procrastination is killing me too. Holiday season is coming and the priority for now is to learn as much as I can about marketing and designing new products so I can rake it in in the holidays. Around mid November I would be able to switch again, because the strategies would likely be fixed by then. Hopefully DMSI 3.2 would already be released then. I made one new FWB in this run (the 19 year old) so at least I won't be too lacking sexually.
I plan to gift myself Lasik surgery and a new pair of custom earbuds if I have a good holiday season
I'm looking at this model:

Till then DMSI!! It's been really good. I hope MLS will be insane!!
In my bloom week currently and I feel a strong urge to move to Europe for a few months at least. Maybe Germany or Austria or Poland, where I don't know the language. Life as a stay-at-home online businessman in Singapore has been way too comfortable. I can feel my brain falling asleep everyday. I am expanding my business to new marketplaces and to Europe but I feel literally zero need or urgency to do so. I have to drag myself to do it everyday. When I was in London, I felt so much pressure because as an Asian I was the minority and nobody liked me. I imagined that if I lived there I would feel so much drive just to learn and survive.
I watched RSD Tyler's video about what we can realistically achieve in life. We could achieve so many things theoretically, but whether we would or not is another thing entirely. Reproductive pressure is a powerful biological motivator for action, and we as humans are wired to do the minimum to survive. That is what is happening to me now, I can feel my motivation going as soon as my business became stable. It's nowhere like it was when I was still employed and trying to get this thing off the ground so I could quit my job.
I want this reproductive pressure back in my life. I feel that moving to Europe will be a good way. Sure there can be much better sources of motivation, for eg if I have found a calling that I feel compelled to dedicate my life to, but I don't have that now. I am getting ideas about going to university in Germany since it's free..... I can take up a product design course, I can learn to design better products for my business. It will be fun.
Or maybe I'm just too bored since I can't do any exercise because of my wound from the surgery two weeks ago. Still 2 weeks till I can go back to dancing and playing tennis, and starting BJJ. So bored!!
Try the US - you'd be a minority, but we like Asians just fine.
Yeah for sure I will go to the US one day. It's just a matter of when!

What's the name of the RSD Tyler life achievement video?
Dude, did you say on another thread that you're pulling in 50+k per MONTH from your online business?!

Hey RTB, yeah that's right. USD. It was 30+ before MLS. I'm happy with it now but there's so much more I can do!
Awesome to hear! I've been thinking about doing something like this by myself. But I also want a little more "control".
You should consider getting your own site where you can sell from and not only be on Amazon. If Amazon for whatever reason would shut you down you'd lose your whole income if you only exist on Amazon.
Now if you don't mind, I'd like to ask some questions :angel:
How long did it take for you to build up so that your brand was an "attractive brand" that people want to buy from? Did you market in any specific way to get people interested in your product/brand initially?
Did you take any initial courses to get started or did you just "jump in"?
