Did i overdo E2? I have used E2 for 82 days, for around 18hs a day. It worked *really well* so much it caused some problems balancing it with the rest of my life. For almost all the run i felt i was running on zero to almost zero willpower. It's like i woke up in the morning already having depleted my willpower? (is that resistance?), with no motivation to work/study/work out?. I was sleeping a LOT too. maybe up to 11 hours a day (8 at night and a 3 hour siesta...)
All in all it was a very successful although not a pleasant run, in the worst part of the storm i was having all kinds of thoughts about hipothetical shitty/fear ridden situations, and coming up with solutions, things to say and do under different situations and varieties. Also it's like my mind was coming up with the worst case scenario for those situations and coming with answers to those situations. Not pleasant at all, these things happened specially in the morning, i would wake up at 7am and spend up to 2hours ruminating in bed and having these whirlwind thoughts. After these dark clouds vanished i felt like i was flowing, confident in my ability to deal with those situations, until it started again some days later...
I am getting, a LOT of looks, not so much on the street, but when entering a place i can feel the looks and double takes. Everybody treats me extra nice, not like a child but like someone who is very liked by people. First time ever something like this happens to me... Awesome!!
All in all i am going to have a rest from E2 and start again MLS5g, as i have 3 important exams in a months time. E2 i would say is perfect to use in vacation time when i can really relax and forget a bit about responsabilities. I will definetly try to put 90 more days whenever i get the opportunity, but right now the responsabilities are piling up.
Yes the depletion of motivation is also something I faced during Stage 3 BASE. I didn't seem to care about business at all, but how was it supposed to make me a successful entrepreneur if all I cared was about thinking about life and enjoying every moment? I guess that's part of the attitude I needed to have, but I don't think taking 0 actions will help in this regard.
The worst realization was I didn't need to give a fvck about business, which literally terrified me
