Your brain can (and does) process a hell of a lot more than that with ease.
That's my problem in a nutshell. I do the affirmations and attempt to disengage from them. As much as I tried to not to attach an outcome to the affirmations, I just couldn't do so at 100%. Like Ryan here and a few others here, I am still going through negative patches but I remind myself that it will pass and correct myself in the process. I still have wacky dreams too but I reckon that is the subliminal working on the subconscious.
Cory once said that the subconscious mind is more powerful than any computer on the planet (the most powerful computer w/o an operating system is just a hunk of iron and is only as powerful as it is programed to do a certain thing).
As far as progress is going, I'm still making progress. Yesterday, I had a friendly chat with the girl that cut my hair, telling her about my escapades and whatnot and telling her about my new nickname that another girl gave me, "Rice a Ronnie". She thought that was funny and she told me she will call me that for now on. lol
I'm tending to be more open around people now than ever before, due to the confidence sub and also taking action: going out and mixing it up and also talking to more people at work (I work at a medium sized hospital). My San Diego trip is coming up quickly so there will be lots of ops to talk to new people. I've gained a lot of knowledge since last year at this time and will continue to do so.
One thing that I have noticed with the subs, and also getting out, is that there is an increasing desire to go out more often and mix it up.
