**Jake's Overcoming Fear v.2 5.75.5G Journal**

[Jake2015]

The secret to success is using the program at the right volume and loops per day, days on, days off, etc.  

It's going to take time to work through these options and find the optimal one for each.  You're working on finding the optimal volume right now.  Be patient.  You can find it if you do.  

One of the things your fearful self is doing is trying to express more fear in an effort to keep itself dominant.  That only means that it doesn't understand what's really going on, and it's afraid to be unafraid because it thinks fear is keeping it (and you) safe from something.  It does not understand logic.

When you find the right volume, you're going to see the best execution.  Once you know what that volume is, we can either let that play out for a while and then see about adjusting it and trying to find a new optimal volume, or we can try to adjust loops per day.

In the mean time, remember that this fearful part of you is like a very young child, and has very limited understanding of what's going on.

You have doubtless read the posts and journals of those for whom OF v2 is working extremely well.  Some of them started off much like you.  They found the right set of usage variables, and it took hold.  

It sounds possible, based on what I have seen, that the fearful part of you is afraid of learning because if you learn, then you'll graduate, and if you graduate, you have to face the big scary unknown world after that.  What do you think?

Thank you for replying @Shannon and sorry for the late reply.

I think you're a genius mate! All you've said gives me hope, cant wait to find that sweet volume and number of loops and days etc I really cant cos im fed up of living a fear full, procrastinating life. I can achieve so much I have the intelligence and the potential but I keep stopping at the first hurdle all the time.

The hypothesis you suggested at the end does make sense to me because I feel like im still an 18 year old inside. I havent progressed since that age and so I think what you said does make sense.

Why or why am I like this? What on earth happened to me to become like this? I have no clue no idea at all. I dont like who I am right now and thats why im optimistic with your help we can really turn this around for me. I really hope that when we find that sweet spot for this sub that I really do release all these fears within.

Thanks Shannon! Just stick with me on this one please! I need all the support I can get!
