Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Have at ye]

Quick question Shannon. I've been using the DRS for a while now especially at my new job.  For full disclosure,  I've also been using it alongside MHS (5.5G) for the past several months. I feel like the shield isn't working. I'm around some negative people and I can still feel my mood/energy/whatever dipping around these people. Suggestions?

You have only four possible scenarios I can see.

1. You are dividing the program focus too much for the DRS to be dominant.
2. You're not using the DRS enough for it to be powered up sufficiently.
3. You're resisting fully executing the DRS script.
4. Some combination of these.

The first step is to stop dividing your focus and use only DRS for a week or two and see if that makes things better.  Since MHS 5.5G uses the NDRS, you stand a great chance of not only dividing your focus by doing that, but simultaneously giving your subconscious two contradictory instructions, which may either cancel eachother or cause it to stop trying.  Dividing your focus isn't good either.

If it does, problem solved.  If not, add more loops and/or reduce your days off.  Depending on the specifics of your personality, you may need significantly more loops and/or fewer days off.

If nothing above helps, then chances are that you're not fully executing the script for some reason.

@K-Train If you're hell-bent on running the DRS with something that has the NDRS in it, you're gonna have to run the DRS pretty much 24/7, and especially right after finishing the loops of the other program. Best not to do that, though, for the sake of effectiveness.

Also, if you're around very negative people in huge quantities, they may still keep trying to pummel you with their negativity regardless of the DRS - until they start knocking themselves out. People who are inherently negative have a pretty high tolerance for having their negativity reflected back at them, because it's their, you know, *normal*.
