How has OF (V1 & V2) impacted you?

[Shannon]

I haven't run it for the full course, but it's very clearly made changes for me, including:

• I am much more comfortable expressing what I really think in general, and in public.
  
• I am much more comfortable expressing my sense of humor, and if people don't like it, well sucks to be them, because it's funny to me.
  
• I am much less concerned with who sees me goose my GF's butt in public, or be silly with her or kiss her.
  
• My reasons for being faithful to my GF in a committed relationship have changed from "I'm afraid she would find out and leave me," to "I love her too much, I value her trust too much and I appreciate her an our relationship too much to do anything else." - In other words, I'm being faithful to her now for the right reasons, not out of fear.  These reasons were probably there all along, but without the fear, they are now becoming obvious.
  
• My stress levels are down a lot when I am using it properly.
  
• There is a certain Zen "this simply is" to life when I'm using it properly that allows me to exist without being reactive to whatever.  This also allows me to be more observant and aware in general, and to act with more fluidity and less action... if that makes sense.
  
• It is easier for me to be unaffected by other people's negativity.
  
• When I'm using it properly, I feel more gratitude and love, and it comes more naturally, easily, fluidiy and "just is".
  
• People in general are more comfortable being around me, and are more social and trusting of me in much less time.
  
• I don't remember what else.
