Only a minor thing today
I meta-cognitively noticed in the gym today that after finishing a set I'd have feelings of "inadequacy". I can see how this would have motivated me in the past but feeling inadequate isn't very sexy.
Furthermore, if I'm feeling inadequate after every set, then I'm subconsciously training myself to feel inadequate irrespective of achievements.
This hasn't always been the case though, it's just that I've achieved all my bodybuilding goals long ago. I'll definitely be shifting my frame of mind to one of supreme satisfaction.
Edit:
Part 2
So I'm becoming quite the charmer. I'm surprising myself at how natural and smooth I am in my interactions. I've also been getting quite a few crotch stares these past few days. Initially it was a little unnerving but now I'm choosing to just accept this.
I have been told by women in the past that I do come off as "intimidating" (though some women say they like it). I do recognise that it is just a defensive posture, by seeming intimidating I can scare away anyone who'd potentially annoy me. This is something that's going to have to be dismantled moving forwards. It's outlived it's usefulness and being approachable is more congruent with what I'm aiming to achieve.
All in all, progress is good.
