Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Hi Shannon, ive been listening to MLS everyday after out last discussion.
my anger in day trading is not gone but heavily decreased, my guess would be the anger when i lose will go away eventually.

however, i am not feeling the "superpowers" of MLS anymore. i had some good success in the first 3 weeks, i felt more motivated, more focused. ive used MLS since day 1 it was released.

do i just keep going as is or is something "wrong" and needs to be changed?

thanks Shannon.

Hi Shannon, just to come back to this topic, i realise you probably been busy to answer i had more time to think about it anyway. Its common for me with your subs for the magic to occur and feel great in the first 1-4 weeks, after which i wont feel much. I do however start to feel something the longer i use something i mean like 8-12 months there is more inner peace / i dont give a dam attitude, this is why i tend to use your programs long term. Once i am off the sub, i then notice the general good feelings - that were subtle / difficult to put a finger on while on the program.

anyway i am telling you this in hope you know how to help me to execute this MLS program. i really want this one to work and i think the results would be very tangible/immediate because of my trading.

i am not sure now how to adjust my listening to better execute. im not sure why im not feeling anything anymore, i do feel tired in the mornings nothing major a coffee can fix it. But im nowhere near hitting the goals of the program.

do i have a problem in general with subs (if so how can i uncover this issue) or just give it more time?
maybe im having too high expectations of the program? i dont know - i just want to achieve the goals of the program.

thanks alot for your help!

The issue is that over time, you're going to have different parts reacting in different ways under certain circumstances.

In the beginning, you're executing more fully in your case, because the fears haven't been touched yet.  Then as you get down to the parts that fear achieving the goal, they start trying to object, and the FRM starts working them through the issues.  That part can take a short or very long time, depending on specifics.  This is why after 8-12 months you start getting better results, and they improve again when you come off entirely.  That is indication that some part of you is resisting "being told what to do".

This program is very aggressive about dealing with any fears you have that hinder achieving the goals of the program.  That would, by default, include trying to resist "being told what to do".  So that's going to be a significant struggle, and you'll probably want to periodically adjust the volume up or down to some degree to keep things going by communicating the program to slightly different levels of your subconscious.  If you find one where the program seems to really pop, keep using that.  There is no one perfect volume or perfect volume for everyone.

Have you already run through OF?
