Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

For Shannon...

Let's say we do E 2.0 for an intended 3 months, 96 days, but we end up only doing 80 days out of those 3 months.

I know you have repeated over and over that doing those 32 day increments are important, but why specifically?

I guess im asking what happens in our brains when we cut usage short? Are the results just less strong, permanent (both?), or something else I just can't fathom?

I get that the first 32 days are required to firmly cement changes, but is the completion of each additional 32 increment needed to make use of extended usage?

So for my example of 80 days versus 96, would 80 days be the same as 64 days in terms of our brains assimilating the extra listening time?

Maybe my thinking is completely wrong here, which is why i'm asking, but I don't quite understand what's really going on with our brains assimilating or not assimilating change while not completing each 32 day cycle.

We work in blocks of 32 days because that is one of the most useful models for how to make something work when it comes to subliminals. It also nicely balances the multi-stage models.

When you cut usage short, your brain doesn't have the neural pathways as strongly defined as it would otherwise, so the results are not as strong, and do not last as long.

So for my example of 80 days versus 96, would 80 days be the same as 64 days in terms of our brains assimilating the extra listening time?

This makes no sense to me.
