I don't know if it's just that my normal level of intelligence is really low or if MLS has made me smart. What I do know is that I feel like I have a mind to proactively think with, whereas otherwise i'm just reacting and slowly just muddling through.
For example, on UMS - I went into a hard-core learning mode, I decided that I was going to learn to code in a month - this wasn't done intelligently though. I beat my head against a book for three weeks and did a bunch of exercises and by the end of I was worn out. My learning hadn't properly sunk in. With my 'brain switched on' I realised I would have done this exercise differently with a mind on the outcome and a solid process for internalising what I'd learned, rather than just burning out in a fit of obsession.
The approach to every task has a better quality using MLS. I was making some food for my kid the other day - something I do as a chore kind of slack jawed and droopy eyed - but with an awakened mindset I made several changes to what I was doing so it was all done quicker and much better, saving me about 20 minutes of prep time. Then while giving my kid a bath I was able to bomb through a few chapters of a fairly technical audio book - which I genuinely enjoyed.
Then as soon as i'd put my kid to bed, I genuinely wanted to apply what i'd learned so I spent the next few hours working on a problem in my note pad. My partner got home (I'd given her the day off) and she was shocked because i'd cleaned the house - I hadn't even thought about it while I was doing it but while I was waiting for some food to cook, I went around with a mop, cleaned the kitchen and bathroom.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
