dragon slayer's OF V2 5.75.5g journal

Does hearing the iPod mention the title of the track being played interrupt the exposure?

No, but it is certainly distracting in general.  Can you turn it off?

I think I'm just overthinking this ... which is co-related to my fear and anxiety? lol.

Part of the reason we say not to use OF with something else is that it needs 100% focus and a lot of time to really accomplish its goal.  If you don't give it what it needs, it will typically produce shallow, surface results that are just undone later because one of the issues with fear is that the parts of you responding with fear will just regenerate it unless and until the root cause is dealt with.  And that is what needs all the focus and time.

In other words, you might get "some results" from using it with something else, and or incorrectly.  But you won't get the results it is designed to give.

I don't think it can be turned off. The "VoiceOver" was already OFF and I switched the "Speaker Hints" to OFF.

I'm googling & searching it on YouTube. Seems to be a necessary feature to have these prompts for the blind.

It's a nano 7th gen, I think.


Ok I will focus only on OF V2 for the 8 months instead of just for the time being.

I was even searching online last night and today for habit tracking solutions to help me with sticking to only OF V2 for 8 months.

@Shannon since I completed 6 days ON, and ALMOST 1 day OFF, should I do 1 more day OFF, and then start with cycle 2?

Or should I just start with cycle 2 day 1 tonight?

Or do I need to take a break and wait for a # of days then start again?

I want OF V2 to accomplish its goal. 

I want to give OF V2 what it needs.

I don't want OF V2 to produce shallow, surface results that are just to be undone later. 

I didn't know that one of the issues with fear is that the parts of me responding with fear will just regenerate it unless and until the root cause is dealt with. 

I've just been more anxious and fearful since being tested positive and being sick with covid in November 2020 working as an essential worker. I've had two decades of anxiety & fear.

I'll do what I must.

Thanks Shannon.
