OF Journal - Vasil - 11-05-2022
I've been using OF for a little over two months now and figured I'd start a journal both to track progress and see if Shannon recommends adjustments to my listening schedule.
Currently on the special use case pattern:
2 days on, 4 days off
4 loops
Masked 7/15 on Android (US gives me earaches even at low volumes)
I chose the special use case because I am quite a bit overweight, which I sense is due to underlying emotional issues. I've also had a hard time getting concrete results with subliminals in the past, and am worried less listening time would hurt results. Otherwise, I don't have any of the other indicators listed on the sales page.
The first time I used the program while I was going to sleep I got an intense feeling of anxiety so strong it literally felt like my stomach cramped and my heartbeat accelerated. After the first night, things got better, but for the first 3 weeks or so I would wake up from OF usage pretty substantially drained.
Now, 2 months in, I can use OF without obvious difficulty, although I'm still a little more tired the morning after using than on a normal morning. However, I'm having a hard time tracking improvements that I can pin to the program. I can't necessarily point to any specific fear that has dissipated, and when I think about things that tend to give me anxiety such as approaching women, stepping into situations I'm unfamiliar with, etc I still feel that fear present. The anxious body language that I've observed in myself while going out and about my day has also persisted.
I'm wondering if this is just a question of giving it more time and continuing for the full seven month run, or if I need to make adjustments to the way I listen in order to get more results. I'm also open to the possibility the initial results have been subtle enough that without very careful introspection, they wouldn't be immediately obvious.

Zero change at all?

I've felt better able to keep my cool and detach from the emotion of fear in tense situations, but it's subtle enough where I can't with certainty distinguish it from placebo effect. Given the more profound changes others are experiencing, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to accelerate results.
