It works by telling you to balance your ego with humility. Which, it would appear, you are interpreting differently than was intended. It was intended to be interpreted as being a constant effect, not a set of cycles between the two. I will make note of this for correction in the next version.
I've had this. I didn't know it was because of the sub, thought it was just my own issue to be honest.
It happens in sales a lot when I get on a roll I suddenly start to feel really bad for doing so well.
I also have it happen when things are going good for me and I suddenly decide to stop or keep myself from progress.
I thought it was fear like I said but what you explained Shannon is exactly what's been happening. Cycles.
Cycles of confidence, of (false) ego vs humility? Because they are very different things. Cycles of confidence happens as you ascend to a state of mastery, which is where your confidence stabilizes. The cycles of false ego (arrogance, etc.) vs humility is what happens when you are trying to balance the false ego and doing it binarily instead of steadily.
Interesting. Because as I noticed it happening yesterday I was actively trying to manage it myself. Not going too far but also not losing my confidence completely. Does this mean I will eventually get to the point where I do it automatically without having to consciously manage it?
