I'd think if I KNEW I'm very productive and getting shit done, learning fast, etc, then I'd have a real reason to feel confident, positive, and healthy. On the other hand there's "disconnect from distractions" and major focus elsewhere, stress, and things like that. So not sure what I could expect.
I'll have to give you a two-fold kind of answer here LionKing.
Right now on my S1 extended journey confidence is pretty good and smooth. Socializing is shining. Meeting friends and acquaintances very often by chance and am invited above-average to spend time with them. Dominance is a silly game to me at this part of BASE. Along the lines of 'I don't partake in your masquerade. I know exactly what I am capable of. If you want to know, you'll have to find out by one-on-one interaction.' Taking the lead if something has to be organized in a group has become my second nature though.
Confidence and especially dominance are getting markedly increased in stages 2-6. As is charisma. Hard to put into precise words. It's terrific. I cannot compare it to AM, but it's strong. Social rockstar in a calm and professional sense.
But I haven't had the knowing certainty that I am very productive, learning faster, recalling stuff better, etc. I notice that I improve greatly in those areas but without the limiting 'I have done it!' feeling. It is becoming slowly a part of me, but I always am sure that I can do MUCH better than this and so keep going.
Positivity has so majorly increased during my first run and it never went back. On the contrary. High positivity has become a strong baseline for me and it spikes from time to time into unbelievable heights.
Disconnecting from distractions was strong during the first run, but it refined itself significantly afterwards. I intrinsically understand now that I need to go out and party/socialize if I want to be able to stay productive and focused in the long run.
